Kilburn was always a magical place for me as a child, lying as it does beneath the hillside where the White Horse is carved. As children we would cycle the seven miles from our home village to spend the day on and around the horse. A visit to 'Mousey Thompson's 'workshop was often included. I also remember earlier...

We visited the house where she used to live and then went down to Kilburn and through some other villages before returning to Everingham where my uncle lived... [more]

North Yorkshire memories
I grew up in Bagby, moving there around 1988 and it holds some of the fondest memories for me. I lived in the village for 15 years before moving out of the area but I always make a point of driving through whenever I visit family close by. The village seems to have grown enormously, new houses near to The Greyhound... [more]

A childhood in and around Thirsk
I spent my childhood in and around Thirsk, although living in the nearby village of Sowerby. Thirsk was where I went to secondary school. It is where we shopped and went to the cinema (there were two of them, The Regent and The Ritz). Teenage years saw me and my friends attending dances at the local town hall.... [more]

I lived on Long Street in Topcliffe 1958-1972 - opposite the old school, which is now a post office, and therefore on the other side of the road from this photo. I was excited by the fair, horses trotting along the road, smells, sights and sounds different from usual, lots of people, including photographers who wanted to take pictures from our... [more]

Rose Cottage -- Baldersby-St-James
I live in the USA -- Florida to be precise.
My birth certificate says I was born in Baldersby-St-James in Rose Cottage on October 30, 1950. I hope to travel to the UK next year, and hope to find a record of my birth in the local [Anglican] church, and also see my birth place if it still exists.

North Yorkshire Living Memories
The higher part of Kilburn village, including the parish church of St Mary (which we can see in the background, centre) clusters around its large village green. Kilburn is, of course, most famous for its White Horse, which was carved on the hillside above the village by the local headmaster John Hodgson in 1857, and for the intricate woodwork of 'mouse...

This is a village in two halves, High Town and Low Town, a quarter mile apart. Land around here was once one of the royal hunting grounds. The White Horse, a chalk hill figure, was carved in 1857.

The covered way at the side of J Todd's Grocer and Tea Dealer was built for the vicars-choral, so that they could cross from where they lived in Bedern to the Minster Yard without being molested.The grocer's became an office for the National Trust in 1903. It was situated where College Street joins Goodramgate on the eastern side.
