My Cousin, Pam

I have a cousin living in Danby. She was Pamela May Broomfield. She married a chap with the last name of Murphy. She was a Pharmacist, the last time I knew of her. It would be great to hear from her again. Last I knew her father Ken, sent a photo of the home she lived in, in Danby, with her... [more]

Lucky Me

In 1959, when I was 8 years old I was fostered along with my brother and sister and went to live in Rosedale Abbey. Actually it was just outside Rosedale Abbey, in School Row. I attended the local village primary school and sang in the church choir along with my brother and sister. I even rang the church bell! The photographs... [more]

Featured buildings.

The large building on the left edge of the photograph is Ruswarp Mill. A mill has been here since Saxon times and the first written record of this mill appears in the Domesday book.
The name Ruswarp may have originated from the mill. The mill was water powered and the river would have been dammed to make a... [more]

Penzance Promenade

I have such happy memories of my early years when as a schoolboy I along with many of my friends walked up and down the Promenade at Penzance of a Sunday evening in pursuit of girls. Even in the blackout during the Second World War we still put in an appearance. At the time I was a choirboy at St John's... [more]

Whitby Harbour and Captain Cook's Museum

I remember going to Captain Cooks Museum that year. I don't quite remember the walk up the hill. We went through the quaint little museum. Its at that point, I guess when my father and mother lingered to see more of the museum, and me and my siblings wandered out and back down to our camper.
I remember going down... [more]

Power Boats

The wooden clinker built boat, painted white in the lower right of the picture, was one of a pair of fast boats that the late Arthur Shippey and Tom Louis ran from coffee house end steps. They would call loudly ""half hour trips round the bay now"" -- ""come on down"".  Tourists were happy to pay 1/6d for the pleasure of... [more]

The swing bridge.

This is a swing bridge - it swings horizontally. It actually swings out in two halves to rest over the pointed timber structures that can be seen in the river. These timber structures are known locally as 'dolphins' and are sometimes used when maintenance of the bridge arms is required. The large building on the far side of... [more]

Extracts From Glaisdale & North Yorkshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Glaisdale, inspired by Frith photos.

North Yorkshire Living Memories

The elegant, high-arched Beggars Bridge at Glaisdale is dated 1619, and carries the packhorse route from Glaisdale to Whitby across the River Esk. The arch is ribbed and bears the coat of arms of Thomas Ferris of Hull, and was formerly known as Ferris's Bridge.

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories

In front of the Mitre Tavern stands this memorial to the 13 men of the village who fell in the Great War. Cottages here date from the mid 18th century. There is still easy access to the village via the Esk Valley Railway running between Whitby and Middlesbrough.

Whitby Photographic Memories

The Dock End has yet to be cleared out and made into a safe haven for the fishing fleet boats in bad weather. This last can be seen seventy years later in the picture of the railway station (W81011). Behind the schooner 'Astrea' we can just see the Angel Vaults; the Angel Hotel was an old coaching inn. A close-up examination of the photograph reveals that one of the buildings in the background on... [more]
