North Yorkshire memories
Bywell
My ancestors The Bywells were originally from Wensley in the 1700's and then moved to Middleham and also west Witton. I wonder if any Bywells still live there
This picture is Middleham Suspension Bridge.

Grocers Shop in Middleham
I used to stay with a friend in the 1950's in Middleham. Her parents had a grocers shop in the square and her father also had a mobile shop which he went round rural areas with. They also had a few hens and cows. Her father's name was Bob Doother.
The living quarters were above the shop. I have been back to Middleham recently but cannot find the building. If anyone reads this and can give me any information as to the location I would be very grateful.
I have such happy memories of walking down to the river and the riding stables.
Norman Barber - Watchmaker And Jeweller
The jaguar on the right belonged to Norman Barber and was parked outside his shop in Leyburn. At this time my husband, Cedric Barber, was probably in class at Leyburn County Primary School (now an old peoples' home). Cedric's second cousin, Janet Green, lives a short distance from the scene of this photograph.

Childhood Visits to Leyburn.
My grandmother's sister and brother-in-law (Elsie and Harry Walton) lived most of their married life in Leyburn. I have happy memories of going there with my grandmother, and staying there with them in the school holidays. I remember going to the old tea-rooms in the Market Square, and having tea-cakes and cream cakes, they were delicious. Sadly my great-aunt and uncle are no longer here, but I still have good memories of them, and of Leyburn.
Brenda.
