Brompton Hall School and George Caley
Both my wife and myself work at the school. It is a fantastic place to work and live. We are also able to visit the church next door where Wordsworth was married.
Many of the original features of the Caley house are still there and being well looked after.

My Canadian Family Began Here in 1772!
I write from Canada. My ancestor, Thomas Anderson (b. 1745) and his new wife, Mary Blackburn (b. 1748) from Yorkshire sailed to New Brunswick, Canada in 1772 on the Duke of York. My family history has been recorded and kept up to date from this event onward. Although information exists about the family in Canada we have very little knowledge of... [more]

North Yorkshire memories
I am currently reasearching my ancestors and have found that my grandmother and her parents lived at 1 Vine Cottages in the late 1800s. I am really interested to know if they are still there. The family name was Spaven. I remember vaguely visiting Snainton as a small child. Alma Farm is in my mind but not sure if that is... [more]

I used to roll coloured hard boiled eggs on East Heslerton Hill with my sister and cousins on Easter Sunday. When they were all broken we used to have egg sandwiches and our teas at Gran's, who lived at the bottom near the church. When it was the Silver Jubilee we had a great village get-together. We lived at East Heslerton... [more]

My grandma (Whinnie) and father grew up here, and owned Staxton Garage for a while (Mike Hearing). I spent the most enjoyable childhood there. It makes me smile thinking of all of the older people, always smiling and telling a good yarn (story) as you walked though the village.
It is a beautiful place, you have the River Hertford less... [more]

In 1955 I was posted from Catterick Camp to Burniston Barracks Scarborough. I believe the barracks have now gone.
It was sited on one of the best vantage points, over looking Peasholm Park, the castle, and views towards the harbour. I thought it was the best posting that I had during my two years as a National Serviceman.
The strange thing... [more]

Having been so lucky as to spend my childhood in a big house in Royal Avenue and spending many long summer evenings playing cricket on the beach with my grandad I have always wanted to return to Scarborough. In particular the Zoo & Marineland hold many memories - unfortunatley there isn't a lot of info about this special place. I remember... [more]

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Brompton-By-Sawdon, inspired by Frith photos.
Scarborough Photographic Memories
A delightful study of people taking the sea air and enjoying the view over South Bay. It provides a detailed study of both clothing and baby carriages of the period. This spot is at the end of St Nicholas Cliff, looking south over the Valley Road footbridge towards the Spa.

Scarborough Photographic Memories
The exact date of this very early photograph is uncertain. The Grand Hotel is on site, possibly still under construc- tion, for it did not open until 1867. Valley Road appears unsurfaced: dusty in summer, a quagmire in winter.

Scarborough Photographic Memories
Entertainment in these chalet areas was essentially self-made, as this sports day illustrates. At the time, television was still a growing medium: the only channel available in Scarborough was the BBC, and only a small proportion of the population had sets.
