My Family
My name is Phillip Robinson. My parents Tom & Eileen lived in Priory View, East Harlsey, in the late 60's. My uncle Charles Derrick McGookin has a plaque inside the village church dedicated to him. My grandparents from Robinson and McGookin are buried in the churchyard.
I also remember the landlady from the Cat & Bagpipes, which I believe to be the only public house named this in the country!
I now live in Darlington, however often return to the village to visit the area and the church.

RE: RE: My Family
My grandparents (Peggy and Arthur Milnes) lived in Priory View before the 1960s when it was a working farm. They sold Priory View and moved next door to Sunnyside cottage. I remember staying with my grandparents and popping next door to collect milk in a jug when I was a girl (in the 1970s). I remember going to the post office to buy sweets.
We now live in Northamptonshire, but most of the Milnes family still live in North Yorkshire.
