Memories of Cleveland
My English GGG Grandmother
Alice Skelton (3 August 1817 -13 January 1872) born in Snainton, Yorkshire christened at Brompton By Sawdon, York, England. Visited her GGG Grandfather's castle. I would like to join the Skelton family association prior to my visit to the Castle.
Pittley Hill
I can remember the late 50s, early 60s, coaches from Scarborough used to stop here, the titles says why, it still brings back my childhood memories when I drive past.
Summer of 1965
I have happy memories of a summer spent with my Nannie and Grandad Gibbs. I remember walking down this street, passing 'Auntie Martha's' to the post office every day with Grandad. He used to buy me chocolate cigarettes every day. I would 'smoke' these on my walk down the lane to the woods with him. I also remember the milk churns that would be at the end of the lane. My daughter still has the little brown bear ornament that Nannie bought me from the post office.
Grandad had an allotment at the front of their cottage. I loved picking the fresh peas and popping them from their pods. Another memory is the weekly bath in the tin bath in front of the fire. Nannie took us for picnics to Freeborough Hill just up the road.
Sad memories of the weekly trip to Sunday School at the Methodist Chapel I think. Some of the local children would lay in wait and bully me. I would take refuge at Auntie Martha's.
All Saints Church, Easington
My family lived in East Loftus - our family name was Morris. My Dad was in the choir at All Saints Church, Easington and my brother David and I attended Sunday school there every Sunday. Our parents joined us later and we all attended Eucharist together.
My Aunty (Mrs Taylor) was organist at the church and my Uncle Jim (Mr Taylor) was Choirmaster. Aunty and Uncle used to run Old Time Dances in the surrounding area - Aunty played the piano and Uncle was Master of Ceremonies - these took place in Easington, Lingdale, Moorsholm, Boosebeck and other villages nearby.
East Loftus Childhood
I was born and brought up in East Loftus. My family name was Morris. We lived in Tees Street, East Loftus. We attended All Saints Church, Easington where my Aunty was organist and my Uncle was Choirmaster. My Dad was also in the choir.
My brother and I went to Loftus County Modern School (later Rosecroft School).
David and I used to play in the street outside our house - we played Rounders, marbles, checks, whip and top, skipping and hula hoop. We had a playing field just near our house with swings and a roundabout.
Mother did her shopping in Loftus - mostly at the Co-op. I remember going upstairs in the Co-op with her, to collect her 'divvi' (dividend).
I also remember going with Mother to the library. We had to be very quiet in there - the librarian had a long ladder to reach the books on the highest shelves.... Read more
