Memories of North Yorkshire
Too Short A Stay!
I lived in Kirby Hill for one year from 1965 to 66, I was a 13 year old boy. I absolutely loved my time there and have many happy memories. My Mother and Father bought the Shoulder of Mutton in 1965 taking myself and brother Frank ( then aged 7) to live in this fantastic area of North Yorkshire. My Father in fact was responsible for creating the restaurant area from what was then the beer store. I remember waiting on tables in the restaurant (at that time it was known as the Grill Room).
The Shoulder of Mutton was a favourite with the Army who used to call on their way back from the shooting range on the Moors, it was quite a regular occurance to see two or three green canvassed backed lorries in the pub car park having deposited their cargo into the pub for a couple of pints and pie and peas. I remember that two brothers from Whashton were regulars in the Bar, one of... Read more
Pubs in Whashton
The Hack a Spade Inn (what does the name refer to?) used to be owned by Thomas Frankland, how long was he runing the pub for?
Bay Horse Inn used to be owned by Thomas Heslop, according to some web sites on the net. I have the landlord listed from the national census as Thomas Alsop, how long was he the landlord?
Home Farm Marske
Home Farm has been in the Simpson family for many generations. My family and I spent many happy holidays over the years with my aunt and uncle, Lena and Maurice Simpson. I have such wonderful memories of haymaking, milking cows etc, and attending the church on a Sunday. My memories include the super people whom I met when I first came to Marske in 1951 - Jenny & Willie Fawcett, Percy Fawcett, Mrs Welbourne who owned the post office and many others. How I wish my children could have experienced nature as I did, both on the farm, fishing in the Swale and exploring the nearby woods.
My sister Brenda married a local young man, Eric Ridley and their first home was a flat in Marske Hall. I live in South Africa now but a portion of my heart is still in Marske and Richmond areas where I still have family living. On my holidays in England I have always managed to fit in a visit to Home... Read more
Grandparents
The Blackburn family. Hi, my grandparents lived in Forcett all of their married life and brought up four children there. Milly was the oldest, she was my gran's daughter from her first marriage, the surname was Swann. Then she met and married my granddad and had three more children, David, Joan and Alexander who was my dad. He married my mum (Stella) from South Africa. l remember many happy hours playing in front of the cottages and tying the kissing gate up when the weddings were on. My granddad is buried in the churchyard along with my gran's first husband. My grandparents' names were George and Jane. My granddad was a lay preacher l think and my dad used to pump the organ on a Sunday. If you look on the back of the organ you can still see his initials (AB). LOVELY DAYS IN A LOVELY VILLAGE.
Grouse Beating
As a student I spent 3 seasons working as a beater on Lord Sopwiths estate.
I first worked a few days during a holiday with family friends called Rita and Albert Sparks who had holidayed in Arkengarthdale for many years. The following seasons I camped with a friend getting washed out one year and spending the rest of our stay in a loaned bed set up in an out building of a cottage.
Mr Mare was the head gamekeeper and Ramsey was the assistant. He had a beautiful dog. Many many happy memories even though it was hard work. Planning a visit soon. Avril Carter whose parents ran the post office I remember. Marilyn Mare (daughter of the gamekeeper)
Twins (boys) from shop overlooking the green - tried to teach me how to tickle trout.We were a bit young at the time to drink in the pub but we were ok if we took it outside!!
