Memories of North Yorkshire
Family Connections.
The mill in the photograph is Low Mill at Grassington. My ancestor William Irving lived here with his family before 1820 until his death in 1843 aged 84. He was a woolcomber. His son James Irving also lived here with his family until his death in 1873 age 93. He was an overlooker. The mill in the photograph has three sections. It is only the centre section which has been demolished. The other two sections are now used as houses and the largest building also incorporates a dental surgery. In the 17th century a smelt mill was built to the left of the stream near Low Mill. The smelt mill has also been demolished.
Netherside Hall
Thank you for the photo of Netherside Hall. This was a boys school and I was there from 1952 to 1955. This has brought a lot of memories back to me - thank you.
Winter at The Hall
As a boy I remember the big open fireplace in the main hall, and the times the large glass sheet above the fireplace falling down - this was to be a yearly thing if I recall correctly. Other memories - making our own snow skis; repairing the old greenhouse; the flying fox; tennis courts in front of the hall; playing football against Grassington School and winning; an old schoolmate playing God Save The Queen on his trumpet after being encouraged by us, then him getting into trouble. Anyone remember these days? - feel free to contact me.
Congregational Church, Grassington.
My Gradfather, the Reverend Thomas Arthur Bairstow was the minister of this church from 1943-47. Leading off one corner of the market square is the grey stone church. It was the last church in which he ministered before he retired due to ill health. I have an old photograph of the Manse taken during the 1940's and it was heartening to find, on a visit there a few years ago, that the Manse and Church remain and especially that the Church is such a lively Christian place of worship.
Linton Camp
Hi
I was at Linton Camp, 1960 to 64, and recall playing foortball at Netherside Hall, I particularly recall getting bathed after the match, in a proper bath, we thought that a bit odd, as we had communial showers at Linton Camp. I think the match was to do with the Upper Wharfedale Cup, we also plyed a few other schools, and I think we won the cup, but cant be sure. I was centre forward, but frankly was pretty naff.
I have been doing a bit of research concerning Linton Camp, or Special Residential Scholl as it was renamed after Bradford Education bought it from The National Camps Assc. Although it was generally known as 'Camp'. I have a few photos of Linton on my web site at:
