Great Aunt Muir Legard
My great aunt, Muriel Dundas Legard, lived for many years in Huttons Ambo. She built a house called Colswayn and then built two other bungalows in the grounds; firstly Mynchon which she lived in for years, then Bardolf. My sister, brother and I have many many happy memories of visiting her and staying in the oasis she had created around her. Bees, veg garden, sheep in the field belonging to a farmer, and ...see more

My cousin Nancy still lives in Low Hutton near the swing bridge. My mother's married name was ...see more

Camping By The Derwent
I spent my early years (1951 - 1960) camping by the Derwent between Huttons Ambo and Kirkham Abbey. They were wonderful years and very rich in memories. I have wonderful memories of the swing bridge and as a child being frightened to cross it, my father always seemed to make it 'move' when we were about half way across. I remember boating down to Cherry Island on the Malton side of the railway viaduct, ...see more

We lived in Low Hutton for a few years, my mum (Eileen Routledge, brother Simon and sister Sarah), and then moved to High Hutton and lived next door to my Gran and Grandad Gibson. We used to play down by the river and the swing bridge and loved standing in the middle making it swing, on school summer ...see more

Very Happy Times
I spent the early years of my childhood living in the Station House at Huttons Ambo,my dad was the signalman there. I attended the village school from 1958 - till it closed 1962 (?). Both my parents have unfortunately died in the last 4 years, but I still go back to Huttons Ambo when I get the chance. The memories of the steam engines chugging past my bedroom window, the warmth of the coal fire in the signal ...see more

Happy Days
I have happy memories of going down to the swing bridge in the school holidays when we visited our grandma in Huttons Ambo, long summer days going down to Leamans' shop for a block of ice cream and running back up the hill before it melted. Grandma Allen lived at Wolds View Cottages, we would go with her to clean the church and would play in the churchyard till she was ready. She seemed to always to be cleaning for ...see more
