The Street

I lived in Naburn at Chapel House. My Aunty Mary Walker lived in this row of houses on the left. She lived with the Tweedies family. In 1949 these houses had big back yards where they collected refuse and recycled it.

Escrick Park Gardens - Market Gardens - 1950 - 1966

My aunt and uncle - Mr and Mrs George Pratt - used to manage the market gardens in Escrick. We had many happy holidays there, and I remember the peaches and apricots growing up the wall, rows and rows of runner beans, greenhouses full of tomatoes and cucumbers etc. They lived in the large house (it could have been a tied...

Horror uniform

One memory of my time spent at St Peter's as a border (my house been The Rise )were the God awful brown blazers purchased from Moss Bros (of York). It wasn't that they were uncomfortable that was the problem, it was the rule that they had to be worn constantly. The school week was Monday to Saturday lunch time, after which we... [more]

Working in Stonegate

My first real job, not counting student employment, was working in Godfrey's Book Shop, Stonegate, York. The shop was at that time the largest antiquarian bookstore in the North of England - unfortunately it no longer exists. It was owned by Mr. Duffield and managed by Mr. Jan Janieurek. Originally from Poland, Jan was an extremely knowledgeable book man who had... [more]

School days

This photo reminds me of two wonderful years I spent at York Technical College in Clifford St. I always found the tower fascinating, but never learned its history until many years later. I love York, even though I live half a world away now, I always visit the city when in England.

Whitby Photographic Memories

Just south of the abbey's cliffs lie these rocks, which show the inroads made by the alum mining industry during the previous centuries. Before the chemists discovered a simpler method of fixing the dyes used in cloth manufacturing, alum was successfully used for this purpose. It had first to be extracted from rich mineral-bearing stone. This was mined locally both at Saltwick and Sandsend, and... [more]

Whitby Photographic Memories

The railway line continues past the houses and the stone bridge of East Row, whilst the flow from the beck makes a tempting paddling pool. Bathing machines were still in use at this time, as we see on the right.

Whitby Photographic Memories

Nestling in the shelter of Lythe Bank, the ancient village holds the homes of many of the men who worked in the alum industry and on local estates. Alum was a chemical used in tanning leather and in the dyeworks to fix the dye used in the weaving industry. It was mined and extracted from local stone in the Whitby district,... [more]
