Memories of Bridlington Street c1950, Hunmanby
Creamery Cottage
My uncle, aunt and cousin used to live a ramshackle cottage just off Bridlington Street - called Creamery Cottage. Probably to the left of this photo and further back. It had a patch of grass in front, quite close to what was the village institute. It may in fact have been thatched (this is the late 1950s). The story was that it was built on an old graveyard for monks and that bones would sometimes be dug up in the garden. There was a butcher over the road who would kill the pigs early in the morning, with quite bloodcurdling squeals.
Hunmanby & local memories
Read and share memories of Hunmanby and North Yorkshire inspired by Frith photos.
Fox's Riding School
I'm from the USA but my mom is from Yorkshire and we spend many happy summers in Filey with my grandparents (every is living here in Southern California now). They had a home near the beach and we would spend the weekends in Filey. I took riding lessons at Fox's. My husband and I took a trip over to the UK in 1998 and stayed in Filey a few nights. We took a drive based on my old memories and we found the Fox's, now just a private home with empty stables and an overgrown riding arena. The owners were very kind and took us inside their home and let us photograph the grounds.
My Mum's Side
My Mum's side of the family came from Hunmanby. A place called Stonegate. My Uncle worked at Butlin's I heard and Mum left there just before the war of 1939.
