My grandmother's sister and brother-in-law (Elsie and Harry Walton) lived most of their married life in Leyburn. I have happy memories of going there with my grandmother, and staying there with them in the school holidays. I remember going to the old tea-rooms in the Market Square, and having tea-cakes and cream cakes, they were delicious. Sadly my great-aunt and uncle... [more]

Norman Barber - watchmaker and jeweller
The jaguar on the right belonged to Norman Barber and was parked outside his shop in Leyburn. At this time my husband, Cedric Barber, was probably in class at Leyburn County Primary School (now an old peoples' home). Cedric's second cousin, Janet Green, lives a short distance from the scene of this photograph.

North Yorkshire memories
I wonder how many Ryders still live in Leyburn and East Witton. My mother was the daughter of George Ryder who was born in East Witton in 1881. George's parents were William G and Margaret Ryder who had at least 9 children, all born in East Witton. William G himself was the only child of Joseph Ryder whose brother... [more]

East Witton's interest to me began as it was the birthplace of my grandfather and his parents resided in Wast Witton Without (i found this through the 1901 census), though I cannot get any further back in time. I worked in nearby Leyburn and visited East Witton daily to get a sense of its aura and atmosphere, hoping to meet someone... [more]

Yorkshire Photographic Memories
Once nothing more than a tiny hamlet in the parish of Wensley, Leyburn developed into a market town thanks to a charter granted by Charles I. The church appears to be about six hundred years old, but was in fact only built in 1836; until then Leyburn had no church.

North Yorkshire Photographic Memories
The church looks six hundred years old, but was only built in 1836. Leyburn developed into a market town thanks to a charter granted by Charles I, but unlike Hawes and Askrigg, it never became industrialized. It proved to be a popular place for Yorkshire business people to retire, and the population doubled during the early years of Victoria's reign. The... [more]
