Milk Monitor
I smile when I remember being appointed Milk Monitor in Carlton & Faceby Primary School at the age of 9. Milk was compulsory and free for all children at school - adults told us on numerous occasions 'how good it was for you'! The large crates of small glass bottles of milk, which were one third of a pint, were counted and recorded, enough milk for each and every student, 32 in all throughout the whole school with just two classrooms, infants and juniors. The milk was always left at the foot of 3 steep steps, by the early morning milkman, just inside the central gate and with a huge deep breath carried up those steps through all weathers. As children we always delighted in the winter when the cream would surface to the top of the milk leaving the watered down milk that was left completely unpalatable but with great precision the foil tops would have holes in the top where the birds had devoured as much cream as...

A Family Camp at Tocketts Mill Near Guisborough
I had a lovely weekend "up north" to attend a family party in Middlesbrough as my wife's brother-in-law Robert Arbin was celebrating his 60th birthday.
As it was summer we thought it would nice to camp and we found an attractive camping and caravan park at Tocketts Mill just outside Guisborough. Elizabeth and I camped in our old familiar festival tent and our son David camped with his then fiancee Amanda in their spiffing new tent nearby. The site was lovely, and made our weekend in Guisborough pleasant. There was a TV room and I remember watching an international football match and drinking a cool beer!
What a nice site and what nice people in Guisborough!
Hey That's my Car
The closest car in this picture (a Hillman Minx) belonged to my family. I know because my father, Arthur Simpson, bought the postcard because of that. The following year, we moved to Canada where my brother and I still live. My brother and I will be in Guisborough next month. I was there a couple of years ago and saw that Granny Simpson's house on Belmangate is now a hairdresser. They allowed me to go in and have a look around. I was surprised how tiny it is.
Dads Shop
This was taken a year before I emigrated to Australia. My Dad was the owner, and my brother Tom and I were the sons. Dad sold the shop in 1972 (which had been opened in the 1930's) he retired and subsequently died in 1995. The last time I was in Guisborough, was just after he died and not much has really changed except the shop is something else. I have a look at the photo every now and then, just to remember what was life like at 17 - Guisborough was smaller. In the summer I would have to go arouind 8 pm to push the blind back in, as the sun had gone down. Of carrying lambs and pigs on my shoulder from our slaughter house, just past the 7 Seven Stars, hoping not be run over by the traffic.
Raining Frogs
My grandparents, George and Helen (Nellie) GATENBY, lived in Connaught Road during my early childhood in the 1950's. My granddad was retired from working 60+years on the railways so he had retired to a row of about 6 terraced railway cottages. These cottages are gone now and replaced by flats. They had huge back gardens and he grew all his own veg. What I always remember was when it rained it rained frogs. Really! There was always hundreds of tiny frogs all over the place after a heavy shower. I am convinced they came down with the rain but who knows!
Loss of Childhood
I attended the local school at the bottom of Gisbrough Bank - I have several school photographs of myself and classmates. I had a fight with a school friend as to whose turn it was to serve the school dinner that day. This was sorted by a teacher who said - You do it today - to my school friend and to me - You do it tomorrow. My tomorrow never came. That night I was told that Mr Pugh my foster parent was very ill and that my sister and me would be going somwhere else in the morning. I felt so sad about this. I had a little friend called Rex Harris, others were Valerie and Tania. I never had the opportunity to say goodbye to them. I have lovely memories of the 1952 Coronation party. I went as the weather girl, my sister as a doll in a box - I think she won. I remember looking longingly at a copy of the royal stagecoach which was... Read more
Cargo Fleet Lane
London born, married a Yorkshire Rose, bought a house, semi-detached, corner of Cargo Fleet Lane/Bournemouth Avenue. 2 children born there (so they could play for Yorkshire, so my wife Margaret says). Many happy memories of walks to Stewart Park, going to the Fountain pub on a Sunday for a pint, walking everwhere. My mother Peggy Pinchin (now deceased) lived around the corner at Woburn Grove. Left to emigrate to Australia in 1973, moving to a place called Slacks Creek, which is outer Brisbane, now Logan City.
