North Yorkshire memories

Private School

My late grandma went to a school called Overdale that was based in Settle in the early 1900s. She later married Edward Lord who used to sing. I am trying to find out more of this family, can anyone help?

Can Anyone Help

I am looking for old photos or memories of the Co-op in Settle just before the Second World War. My grandad (who I never met) was the manager of the Co-op before going off to war. His name was Leslie Benson from Willow Wood in Langcliffe near Settle and his name is engraved on the Langcliffe war memorial. He is buried at the Haifa War Cemetary in Haifa, Israel. If any body has any old photos or can remember him I would love to have more information from you

Winn Family

After Thomas Metcalfe who owned Nappa Hall had died it was inherited by the Weddells. The Weddells let Nappa Hall to John Winn christened 1738 Thornton Steward and his wife Elizabeth I'anson (9th generation decendant of Captain John I'anson who fought at Bosworth with Henry Tudor and settled in Hauxwell).

Family Connections.

The mill in the photograph is Low Mill at Grassington. My ancestor William Irving lived here with his family before 1820 until his death in 1843 aged 84. He was a woolcomber. His son James Irving also lived here with his family until his death in 1873 age 93. He was an overlooker. The mill in the photograph has three sections. It is only the centre section which has been demolished. The other two sections are now used as houses and the largest building also incorporates a dental surgery. In the 17th century a smelt mill was built to the left of the stream near Low Mill. The smelt mill has also been demolished.

Thank you for the photo of Netherside Hall. This was a boys school and I was there from 1952 to 1955. This has brought a lot of memories back to me - thank you.
