Up From Brum
The picture reminds of the year that my wife and I moved from Birmingham to Richmond and bought a house on what was then the new Shepherds Estate on the Darlington Road. We soon came to love Richmond, N Yorkshire and that area for the people and countryside, that to a townie was an enlightening experience. We lived in Richmond for five years and our two sons were born and safely delivered, one in Darlington and the second in Catterick Garrison Hospital.

Richmond Grammar School

I lived in Richmond from the age of 6 weeks in 1936 to the age of 17 years in 1953.I loved Richmond, and still do. My father was a racehorse trainer, his stable was on Cravengate, just off Newbiggin. My family were good friends of Alice Fawcett who owned Grey Friars. When I visit on holiday I am always pleased to see that unlike other towns it has not changed that much.
Newbiggin
I served on the Altar in the Catholic Church shown on the left of the photograph in 1946 and 1947.
