My Life
I lived at Railway Cottages in Carlin How with my grandparents and mum and dad, for a few years, after that went down to Rolingson Street where we stayed until I was 11. We used to go to the club close to the school. We left the house when my perants split up and the next door people had our house. I was very good friends with a girl called Susan Fox. By the way my name was Valerie Bartram.
Westray St And The Appletons
Hi, I was born in 1937 in Furnace Cottages but spent my childhood until 1954 living at 26 Westray Street. My gteat friend is Peter Libby who still lives there and who I manage to visit every year . Might I suggest you google Carlin How and look at the many photos in the archive. A site full of names and places. I think I recall the Appletons but it was all so long ago.
Carlin How
I have many fond memories of Carlin How. My gran lived there, and I was born there. I was reading a quote from Jean Appleton Saul, her dad was my uncle. I am also part of that family and it brought back a lot of old memories, Jean was my bridesmaid in 1965. Later on they moved to Canada and sad to say I have not seen Jean or her brother Graham since they went. Hopefully one day I might hear from them but it was also nice to know she never forgot her family background. It brought back many happy memories, also some sad ones because the biggest part of that family are no longer with us. I still cannot believe how one click of a button brought back so many memories of someone I have not seen for many a year. Take care and God bless. Maureen Howard
My Dad's Family
As far back as I can remember I used to visit my gran in Carlin How. My dad and his brothers and sister grew up on Westray Street. I can remember the big common where they used to build the bonfire for Guy Fawkes Night. My dad Harold Appleton was the youngest son of Robert and Eliza Appleton. My dad had brothers named Johnny, Dennis, Leslie, Richard and Raymond and one sister, Floss. My Uncle Raymond used to fish from a cobble boat off the beach in Skinningrove. My aunt's husband and sons used to race pigeons from Skinningrove. My dad left Carlin How after he was de-mobbed in 1948 and worked at St Luke's Hospital in Middlesbrough where he met my mum. Carlin How has lots of memories for all of us. My dad also worked on the steelworks.
In 1941, my dad remembers going to school in Skinningrove and watching the German pilots use Skinningrove Beck to lead them to the target they were supposed to bomb.... Read more
Cleveland memories
The Market Place
When I was at school I did the history of Loftus. The market place was used for the market stalls, I think that it should be like that again.
Bring back the meaning of Loftus market place - if anyone agrees let people know.
Even if the shops that we have bring their products out to the stalls we might get more people coming and put Loftus back on the map and not just known as a trouble town.
Springhead Terrace
I was born at number 11, and was told I did not open my eyes, so Mrs Tyreman baptized me. She had changed from Methodist to Catholic when she married her husband who was a tailor. When the priest came the next morning and blessed me I opened my eyes. I was given a spoonful of brandy to keep me alive, and was told I was talking by the age of two. I had two bouts of Double Pneumonia before the age of six, but was an altar boy at the age of seven at Saint Joseph and Saint Cuthbert Catholic church up highside. I remember going downhill on bogeys and sledges, and Mr Haxby, the Blacksmith at the end of the street, who put metal runners on our sledge. During the War, we would queue for food, and managed to get eggs from the local farm. My brother and I once carried a block of salt from the Cooperative store, and were asked if we were going to kill... Read more
Childhood Memories
My whole childhood, teenage years and early adulthood was spent in Brotton. I lived at the 'top end' between the Green Tree and Chemist Corner. I have many happy memories of life in Brotton - attending the infant/junior school and forging many friendships along the way. The boys used to do sword dancing and the girls used to dance around the may pole. St. Margaret's church was attended by most of my school friends on Sundays for communion and we later went onto the Sunday School and youth club. Many wonderful Sunday afternoons were spent on rambles with Mrs. Glover to parts of the countryside as far as Staithes. As kids we spent all our playtime outside until it was dark - we were never allowed to play on a Sunday and had to dress up in our Sunday best and not get dirty. We played hopscotch, marbles, whip and top - games that are no longer popular with kids. We went frog... Read more
