Happy Memories
My parents owned the pub in the mid 1970s, I have many happy memories of living here, through long winters being snowed in to long walks in the area in summer. Being 9 at the time my vivid memories are of during one hard winter blizzard, the snow had built up against the door to the room with the fire (door on the left in the photo) and the door burst open and all the snow blew into the room, at that time it was the dance floor. One of the local characters, Farmer George, lived in the nearby farm and I recall him coming in to the pub with his big baggy trowsers tied up with string. We had a couple of chefs at the pub, the head chef rode a motorbike and side car which was completely covered in and had a small heater inside. The other chef as I recall could not drive, as I remember my dad spending days and days with him showing him how to ride... Read more
Good Times
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!
Cum Agen Cafe
This picture brings back very happy memories for me, as it shows my grandparents' (Arthur and Madge Douglas) shop and cafe (Cum agen Cafe) where we spent many, many happy times. Pickering certainly has changed since then. On the left is the old Labour Exchange above which was a flat where Olive Watson used to live, then Cum Agen Cafe (now a vets), then what is now the Crossways Hotel (used to be grain shop run by the Honis family and then a cafe run by the Frank Family. A family called Stead used to live on the first and second floors. The row of shops/cottages following on was demolished when they built the roundabout. At the top, facing down Eastgate is the Forest and Vale Hotel. A fair used to come to Pickering every year and was set up on the car park in front of the houses.
Beck Isle Ponies
My auntie and uncle Peggy and Raymond Cook used to own a riding school, they called it Beck Isle Ponies, can anyone else remember them? I lost touch with them when I was only little.
I Remember ( Well Almost )
Well, Wesley, the famous preacher, preached from my garden, to the populous in about 1763. This was pre-soap days, so I'm sure lots of people turned out. I believe my house was a yeoman's small farm, but has grown from its beginnings in the 15th century. Inside the house shown on the right in one of the photos is still an old 'beehive' bread oven. It has lots of the old features associated with a vernacular house of considerable age. With walls 2 feet thick, it's been here a long time and hopefully, here for a lot more years.
Ancestors
I am currently reasearching my ancestors and have found that my grandmother and her parents lived at 1 Vine Cottages in the late 1800s. I am really interested to know if they are still there. The family name was Spaven. I remember vaguely visiting Snainton as a small child. Alma Farm is in my mind but not sure if that is a true memory. I am going to visit later in the year and look in the churchyard and church records to see if I can get further. My family are very keen for me to do this as when I die they will have no record of their past.
Havkness Hall Family.
1792, My great great great grandparents were married at Hackness Church. William Henry PHIBBS and Jane HORNSEY. Jane was the granddaughter of Marmaduke LANGDALE. She was also a niece to Richard Vanden Bempde JOHNSTONE's wife. Can anyone help with more info please. Also which church was built at this time 1792, Thankyou one and all. Kathryn from Australia.
