North Yorkshire memories
Holiday at my Grandma's House
My mum was born in Seamer and she lived at Bank Top, Seamer Road, she had 5 brothers and sisters, and her mum was widowed very early in life, leaving her to bring up all those children. Well, she did a good job, they were the cream of the crop, and myself and my brothers and sisters had many happy holidays in Seamer. My gran was called Isobel Durham. One of my mum's brothers lived at Lower house Farm, just outside the village, we also spent many happy holidays there with Aunt Ethel and Uncle Bunny Durham. To this day, Seamer has not changed much and I don't think it will. I have a cousin, Joyce Wood, who still lives at Bank Top, Seamer, and an aunt who lives further down the road. I have taken my three sons to visit Seamer many times while they were growing up, they too loved the place, so I have not put a date down for this memory, because there were many memories over...

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
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!
