North Yorkshire memories
First House
In this picture I lived in the house with the porch sticking out, just past the pub THE BLACK BULL (white building). Up the side of my house, or country cottage as it was termed, was a slaughter house at the back. I worked in Patons & Baldwins in Darlington textile mill as a woolsorter.
Malcolm
The Black Bull, Great Smeaton
A little bit of history about the Black Bull. My GGG Grandfather Thomas Banks (1791-1869) was the inn keeper during the 1850's and possibly for a short period before that. He also ran the slaughterhouse and the butchery business behind the pub which is referred to by Malcolm in his memory. Thomas died in 1869. The Black Bull and butchery was then run by his son Thomas, until his death in 1887 when it was taken over by his sister Elizabeth with the help of another sister Margaret. Margaret died in 1912 and Elizabeth in 1914. All were, I believe, buried at St Eloy Church in Great Smeaton.
Marwood Family
I was born at my grandparents' house, Water End, Brompton on the 30th October 1924. My father was Joseph Christopher Marwood - always known as 'Chris'. Our home was Malpas House, Brompton. My Mother was from Margate in Kent. I attended Brompton School and later Northallerton Grammar School. In my early years we had two linen mills in Brompton and a variety of shops. We moved from the village in 1936 when my father and one of his cousins built their houses on Brompton Road. I think this is now Northallerton Road.
Birthplace
I was born at The Mount Maternity Hospital in Northallerton on 21st September 1960
we were living at Pickhill village at the time, we later moved to Hewitson Hill farm
and moved from the area in 1962
South Parade
I was born in Northallerton in 1952. My father was a cousin of the Smirthwaites and therefore worked in the garage that was once where Argos now stands. My mothers family were Atkinson's and they lived in South Parade. There were 6 children in the family (2 girls and 4 boys). They lived there during WW11 and my mother has fond memories of the time she spent in that house. Her parents were McCabes and lived in the Nags Head Yard. Two aunts had the 2 little houses next to The Nags Head. One is now a clothes shop and the other one has been knocked down to accommodate the roundabout. I went to Mill Hill School and was very happy there. We left Northallerton in 1961 when we moved to Richmond, but I have lovely memories of life in Northallerton where I was surrounded by a large and close family.
The Court House Etc
I want to write mainly about the Court House, circa 1937, but some later memories have crept in. I was born in L'Espec Street. My grandmother lived in South Parade, opposite the Atkinson's house already mentioned elsewhere. Before the Court House was built (by Tom Willoughby, I believe) it was possible to walk from L'Espec Street, diagonally across the field it was subsequently built on, to the far end of the back garden of my grandmother's house where you had to scale the wall, before dashing into the conservatory, making a lot of noise, to be given a cuddle and a pink sugar mouse to eat by Aunt Ada, while grandmother looked on disapprovingly as it was guaranteed 'to spoil my dinner'. Born in 1845 or 1846, she lived to be 92 and had once been Matron of the Workhouse. She felt that having pigeons on the house roof was a 'bad sign' betokening imminent death, and would go into the yard waving a feather duster fixed to a bamboo... Read more
Memories
I was born in East Harlsey in 1946 and was educated in the village school which of course is now a private house, or is it two. I remember there being two classrooms and, if my memory is correct, the teacher was a Mrs Lyle?? I seem to remember we called her "jam pot". At that time the shop was run by a Mrs Topham, not sure of the spelling.
My grandmother was the caretaker of the village hall as she was for about 25yr
and as a child I remember playing in the hall and on the back lawn. I often helped my gran clean which was great fun. Polishing the dance floor and dashing through from the house with hot irons for her to iron the snooker table. I also remember that when one of the regular dances was taking place my cousin and I would sneak up into the projection room and look down at all that was going on.
I, of course, also remember life... Read more
