North Yorkshire memories
In 1959, when I was 8 years old I was fostered along with my brother and sister and went to live in Rosedale Abbey. Actually it was just outside Rosedale Abbey, in School Row. I attended the local village primary school and sang in the church choir along with my brother and sister. I even rang the church bell! The photographs... [more]

I remember staying at Low Mills with the Breckon family. When I first went there in about 1954/55 there was no electric and we went to bed by candle light. The toilet was a "dry closet" up several steep steps and across the vegetable garden.
My uncle who lived in Carlisle was Amos Breckon, son of Amos and Hannah.

I worked at Fylingdales in the early 1960s. We lived on site in cabins and Saltergate was the closest pub. Needless to say it was very well patronised. Could I dare suggest that could have been its most profitable period.
Good days, never to be forgotten!

My great great grandfather Francis Robson was born here about 1847 to James Robson and Mary, who was a Hodgeson before marriage. I think he had a sister called Patience and brother called Johnathan. Francis walked all the way to Bridlington to find work,where he married and had a large family. I would love to find out if any decendants... [more]

It would be great to hear from her again. Last I knew her father Ken, sent a photo of the home she lived in, in Danby, with her... [more]

I lived in Malton for many years and as a schoolboy sang in the church choir. Services alternated on Sundays between St Leonard's Church (the one with a spire) and the older St Michael's church in the Market Place. St Leonard's was eventually transferred to the Malton catholic following as diminishing membership of the Church of England Church could... [more]

Well, I've just moved down here from York. It's pretty nice and I have a few memories of the park and the church. It's very pretty.

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories
The village was formed around a Celtic monastery, which in turn became a shrine to St Cedd in 1078. 19th-century architecture took hold in the village after the building of Lastingham Grange. Born in 1863 near Bridge Farm (1783) was the noted artist John Jackson.

North Yorkshire Photographic Memories
Lastingham is fewer than seven miles northwest of Pickering. In AD654 St Cedd, the brother of St Chad, built a monastery here, where St Chad died of the yellow plague in AD664. The crypt of the present church is thought to occupy the site of an earlier structure where St Cedd's bones were laid to rest.

The Dock End has yet to be cleared out and made into a safe haven for the fishing fleet boats in bad weather. This last can be seen seventy years later in the picture of the railway station (W81011). Behind the schooner 'Astrea' we can just see the Angel Vaults; the Angel Hotel was an old coaching inn. A close-up examination of the photograph reveals that one of the buildings in the background on... [more]
