North Yorkshire memories
First House
In this picture I lived in the house with the porch sticking out, just past the pub THE BLACK BULL (white building). Up the side of my house, or country cottage as it was termed, was a slaughter house at the back. I worked in Patons & Baldwins in Darlington textile mill as a woolsorter.
Malcolm
The Black Bull, Great Smeaton
A little bit of history about the Black Bull. My GGG Grandfather Thomas Banks (1791-1869) was the inn keeper during the 1850's and possibly for a short period before that. He also ran the slaughterhouse and the butchery business behind the pub which is referred to by Malcolm in his memory. Thomas died in 1869. The Black Bull and butchery was then run by his son Thomas, until his death in 1887 when it was taken over by his sister Elizabeth with the help of another sister Margaret. Margaret died in 1912 and Elizabeth in 1914. All were, I believe, buried at St Eloy Church in Great Smeaton.
RAF Scorton
Stationed at RAF Scorton in the little medical facility which was reached by passing through a farm (I believe). My memory is not good as a result of a stroke. We were lucky to have our own hot water supply as the majority of the camp sites had only cold water. Looking at recent maps, I get the impression that the medical facility is still standing and now presumably used for other purposes.
Scorton Grammar School
I was a pupil at this school from 149 to 1951
Childrens Home
I stayed in a children's home for a short time - late 50s, not sure exact date. Does anyone know of this home and if it still exists.
Middleton Tyas
I remember my mum working at the Shoulder of Mutton in the 1980s, as me and my sister Kathryn used to help her at weekends. My mum was also dinner lady for the C of E, when I used to attend the school. If anyone remembers my family (Evelyn Allan, Tony Allan, Kathryn Allan, and me Tracey Allan, or even my grandparents Mr and Mrs Etherington), please email me at: traceycairns15@googlemail.com, tinkerbell2020@msn.com or honey_bear326@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you, Tracey Allan.
Family History
I would love to know of any information regarding the Aungiers family who lived in Middleton Tyas in the 1800s.
I know the address for John and Hannah was 5 Cottage. Father of John was James. Any information welcome.
Regards
Pam
