West Yorkshire memories
Mill in Flames
As a small boy around 1945/1947 walking home from Wetherby Church School I remember one day watching from the bridge as the mill was engulfed in flames and burning down. I wonder if anyone can provide the exact date or has a similar memory. I don't have any other memories of these schooldays other than sometimes being treated to a sticky bun from a small bakery just above the bridge. I was probably eating this whilst watching the flames. Having to walk home a mile or so down the Great North Road I remember seeing the Tanks and also special RAF lorries carrying Aircraft fuselage and wings. In fact because of the danger from this traffic we walked behind the safety of the park wall.
The School Bus Stop
I was 11 years old in 1965 and had moved to Wetherby in 1963. I walked around Bernards store several times. The shop across the side street from Bernards Store was a small Newsagent. The lampost in front of it was the pick up point for Tadcaster Grammar School pupils school bus. When this photograph was taken I was a pupil at Wetherby High School, but from 1970 I went to Tadcaster Grammar School and was picked up from this point by the school bus at about 8:20 every morning. The white building just beyond the newsagent was a fish and chip shop if I remember correctly and the building beyond that was the Post Office.
DALBY'S HOTEL
I am trying to find the building which was Dalby's Hotel. In the 1881 census Thomas Ramshaw Dalby and his wife Susannah were the proprietors of this hotel. The address in 1881 was Main Street, south side, Boston Spa. Does anyone have any knowledge of the Dalby's hotel - is the building still there but under another name eg Royal Hotel or Crown Hotel. Any information would be gratefully received.

Park Mount
House on the right looks similar, as it did when I used to live there in the mid 70's - just missing the white wash look.
Balcony House
The taller light coloured house on the left, near the centre of the picture, is called Balcony House. The balcony was removed, I believe, in World War 11. The house was built in the mid 19th C by the local apothecary. I lived there c 1977-1982. The shop belonged to a butcher. The four small cottages are older than Balcony House, and behind them lies a farm belonging to the Spinks family.
The Dolby Family
My family, the Dolbys lived next door to Deighton's Butcher Shop (c1926). My father, Richard Edward Dolby worked as a groom for Colonel Staniforth. My mother, Winifred, was a teacher at Green Hammerton School for over 20 years. We were: Frank, John, Mary, Ruth, Enid and Audrey.
Evacuees
My mother and family were evacuated to Green Hammerton and lived in the Post Office!
