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.

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

More Buses

Someone told me that there was a bus back from town about 10:30 at night back in the 60s. Is this true?

She was also a niece to Richard Vanden Bempde JOHNSTONE's wife. Can anyone help with more info please. Also which church was built at this time 1792, Thankyou one and all. Kathryn from Australia.

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.
