North Yorkshire memories
Marriage of William Tasker And Margaret Webster
William Tasker and Margaret Webster were married November 24, 1846 in the Parish Church, Stillingfleet, York. William and Margaret are my Great Great Grandparents. They emmigrated to Tilbury, East Ontario, Canada. They are both buried in Victoria Cemetary on Tasker Road in Baddertown, Ontario Canada.
Childhood
I have happy memories of childhood days living in Cawood and I still live here. I remember the bank and Wethralls' shop although I was very young but they are still very fresh in my mind, also the butchers' shop on the left which was Kettlewoods, then Baileys, then Summersgills. My uncle had a van like what is parked up in the photograph. We all used to get in and go to the east coast for day trips, 7 altogether, that included 4 adults and 3 kids, passing time but happy days.
CHILDHOOD DAYS
I was born in Ryther in 1956 in the house that my parents still live in on Mill Lane.
I have lots of happy memories of my school days at the primary school which has now been converted into a house.
We had lots of adventures especially in the floods which happened every year then. The milkman used to come in a boat to bring us milk.
My father now 81 years and mother 89 years are the oldest residents in the village and have been there since 1954.
My father has lots of pictures of Ryther and lots of stories.
Flag Day at School
I was one of 7 children that lived at Tile House, Bolton Lodge. I attended Bolton Percy C of E Primary School. I am not quite sure what this flag day event was for, but I remember it was always a sunny day, so it must have been in the summer. All the children used to go into the playground and wave flags as a parade of people went by. I can remember some were in wheelchairs and I am sure this happened every year. It was a very special day that stays in my memory, but I can't remember what the parade was for (it can't have been a rememberence for the war because it was summer time, not November), does anyone else remember this event? Or does anyone else have any other memories of Bolton Percy? I would love to know. We visited the village about 2 years ago and spoke to somone in the pub who told us when the school closed they had an exhibition of... Read more
School Photos From 1964 Onwards
Hi, does anyone who attended Bolton Percy C of E primary school from 1964 onwards have any school photos? If so I would love to see them. I have many happy memories of my days at this school. Regards, Christine.
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.
Youth Hostel
I first went to Naburn Hall in 1947, at that time it was an overflow hostel. I was cycling from London to Inverness at the age of 13. The hostel at York was full, so I was directed to Naburn Hall. When the "Commander" (the owner of Naburn Hall) heard this not only would he not take any money from me but gave me ten shillings to help me on my way, also he invited me to stay with him as his guest on a number of occasions, which I did up to 1952 when I was called up for National Service. On one occasion he took me to Whitby in his Sunbeam Talbot, he also owned a motor cycle. He had an interest in young people, another visitor was another young man that visited him from Andover in Hampshire, he arrived on a Velocette motor bike.
