I have never had the pleasure of visiting Monk Fryston but my eldest son Brett did while he was in school here in Canada. He was part of the Harrogate Music Festival in the 80's. Dear friends, Pam & Harry Roebuck of LumbyHill looked after Brett while he visited the town. Pam died on a few years ago but before she did we built up a very special relationship. She sent us many photographs which she and her family took for us, she also sent us two excellent maps of Monk Fryston. My ancestors came to Canada in 1820 and settled north of Toronto, Ontario. Letters were written back and forth about the family in Canada and what they had left in Monk Fryston. One of the sons wrote extensively of his life here and at home in England. He wrote of the joy of the the end of the Napoeonic War and described the glee of the soldiers returning to Selby.He and another brother, "James," also wrote of life in different parts of Ontario. The old Methodist Church which was on Roadhouse property is now a private residence, I believe and I would very much like to contact the family who reside in the converted church. I am looking for pictures of, if not family but their homes. Thank You and Merry Christmas

I was born in Ryther in 1956 in the house that my parents still live in on Mill Lane.
I have lots of happy memories of my school days at the primary school which has now been converted into a house.
We had lots of adventures especially in the floods which happened every year then. The milkman used to come in a boat to bring us milk.
My father now 81 years and mother 89 years are the oldest residents in the village and have been there since 1954.
My father has lots of pictures of Ryther and lots of stories.

Selby, High Street c1960
Ref: S90087
I remember the Clock Cafe. It was a favourite. Mum used to take me there as a child. The fireplaces were huge and had oodles of brasses hanging everywhere. The tables were large and had big chairs around them. The waitresses wore little black dresses and white aprons over the top. Sometimes when I think back at it I can smell the interior in my mind. It would be a fantastic place to go these days. What a pity it has gone.

Selby, Gipsy Moth c1965
Ref: S90126
I was 11 when this photograph was taken and lived in Buller Street.
The land where the Gypsy Moth was built had previously been a green space where a bonfire was held every November.

Selby, Market Place c1955
Ref: S90026
I had forgotten that the buses used to use the area in front of the abbey as a terminus.
I lived in Selby from my birth in 1954 until 1972. I frequently caught a bus from the corner of Buller Street & Flaxley Road to school on Abbotts Road.
Most of the buses in Selby were green, but the East Yorkshire buses were a regal shade of dark blue with a cream stripe.
