"Anne's Cafe"

The Crown Hotel And Three Greyhounds Hotel c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was born in Annes Cafe Boroughbridge in 1940 (we were lodging there). Dad used to have a few beers in the Crown and the Three Greyhounds during WW2.
Mum and Dad told me they used to go "skinny dipping" in the "fish ladders?"*
we moved from Boroughbridge to Merseyside sometime between 1940 and 1945 I will have to research exactly when.
Does anyone where the "fish ladders" are or were?

RE: RE:

I too was bought up in Boroughbridge. I am now 45 and no longer live there but would love to move back. As a young girl myself I too used to swim in the "Salmon Ladders" as we called them then. If you head over the river bridge towards Roecliff you hit a roundabout, directly to the left you will see an entrance which I now think has a picnic area which takes you on to a path along the river. At the end od this you will find the Salmon Ladders. I hope this helps. If you need more info do contact me.
