North Yorkshire memories

I have many happy memories of Melsonby as I visited regularly until the 1980's. My father's family (Healey) were from Melsonby and my aunt was a teacher at the C of E school for many years.

I went to Richmond Grammar from 1963 to 1969. I left the area shortly after that and have only recently returned to North Yorkshire. I'm currently trying to get in touch with many of my old school friends. It's great to see this picture!

Extracts From Gilling West & North Yorkshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Gilling West, inspired by Frith photos.
Ringwood Photographic Memories
We are looking north, with the White Swan on the left and tall trees near the church in the centre. The grass in the foreground would soon bear a 1914-18 war memorial. The village shop and post office in the distance beyond the children still functions, but the shop-like Gilling Club (to the left of the woman in the middle of the road) has become a house.

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories
Looking north past Bridge End Cottage, we see the old chapel of 1879 and Town End Farm. This compact village once possessed all the useful facilities of a rural community - a blacksmith's, numerous thriving shops and a large pinfold to corral stray animals.
