North Yorkshire memories

Cloughton 1955

Main Street c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My great-grandfather Ted Allan used to be the tailor at the little shop right next to the grocery shop on this photo. We used to travel up to Cloughton every Bank Holiday from the Midlands in a car just like the one in the photo.... I wonder if this was our car??? I also have lots of memories of visiting my great-grandad Isaac Sanderson and his daughter Laura Lazenby on my father's side.  I visit Cloughton and Burniston whenever I can.  I used to be taken to the Baptist Chapel and the Methodist Chapels on my visits but for some reason I was christened at St Mary's Church. Cloughton. I can only think this was my mother putting her foot down against the In Laws!!!! Lots of other memories of this beautiful area.

One of my family used to own the Blacksmiths Arms many years ago, If anyone is at all interested please let me know and I will dig out who it was and when??

Good Times

I was at Throxenby Hall in the early 1960s. I would love to contact any old boys from late 1950s to early 1960s.

Miss Holbrook

Fond memories, it set me up for later life, I recall a Miss Holbrook. Attended St. Peter's School in Scarborough.

Happy Childhood Holidays

Scarborough holds so many happy memories for me as most of my family holidays were taken there. Having a kindly aunt and uncle to stay with made it the most enjoyable place to be. I still like to visit the old haunts whenever I am able to visit the town and unlike many places, it does not seem to change for the worse.

Scarborough Holidays

All our family holidays when I was a child were taken at Scarborough, where my parents and I stayed with two spinsters who were old family friends, in Whin Bank. I suppose I first went in the early 1960s, and my last visit was 1973. I loved those holidays, whether taken during the summer, or occasionally at Easter: roaming along the cliff top birdwatching, or with a bucket-and-spade on the beach and ice creams, seeing "The King and I" in Peasholm Park (what year was that?) and a young Tom Baker in a Noel Coward at the Theatre in the Round, or journeying inland to the lovely Moors or down to Spurn Point (birding again!). The walk through Raincliffe Woods and by Throxenby Mere was a pleasant ritual. Occasionally we would venture to Bridlington or Filey or Whitby, but we 'knew' that Scarborough was the best!

Cynthia

Boat Entering The Harbour c1955

Wow, nice to see this picture of my Grandfather, Will Appleby in his rowing boat "Cynthia". He used this boat to take passengers from the beach and did so until he was 77 years old. The boat was licensed to carry 7 passengers, and fares were a shilling for adults and sixpence for children for a 30minute ride!
