Private School
My late grandma went to a school called Overdale that was based in Settle in the early 1900s. She later married Edward Lord who used to sing. I am trying to find out more of this family, can anyone help?
Can Anyone Help
I am looking for old photos or memories of the Co-op in Settle just before the Second World War. My grandad (who I never met) was the manager of the Co-op before going off to war. His name was Leslie Benson from Willow Wood in Langcliffe near Settle and his name is engraved on the Langcliffe war memorial. He is buried at the Haifa War Cemetary in Haifa, Israel. If any body has any old photos or can remember him I would love to have more information from you
Family Connections.
The mill in the photograph is Low Mill at Grassington. My ancestor William Irving lived here with his family before 1820 until his death in 1843 aged 84. He was a woolcomber. His son James Irving also lived here with his family until his death in 1873 age 93. He was an overlooker. The mill in the photograph has three sections. It is only the centre section which has been demolished. The other two sections are now used as houses and the largest building also incorporates a dental surgery. In the 17th century a smelt mill was built to the left of the stream near Low Mill. The smelt mill has also been demolished.
Netherside Hall
Thank you for the photo of Netherside Hall. This was a boys school and I was there from 1952 to 1955. This has brought a lot of memories back to me - thank you.
Winter at The Hall
As a boy I remember the big open fireplace in the main hall, and the times the large glass sheet above the fireplace falling down - this was to be a yearly thing if I recall correctly. Other memories - making our own snow skis; repairing the old greenhouse; the flying fox; tennis courts in front of the hall; playing football against Grassington School and winning; an old schoolmate playing God Save The Queen on his trumpet after being encouraged by us, then him getting into trouble. Anyone remember these days? - feel free to contact me.
Congregational Church, Grassington.
My Gradfather, the Reverend Thomas Arthur Bairstow was the minister of this church from 1943-47. Leading off one corner of the market square is the grey stone church. It was the last church in which he ministered before he retired due to ill health. I have an old photograph of the Manse taken during the 1940's and it was heartening to find, on a visit there a few years ago, that the Manse and Church remain and especially that the Church is such a lively Christian place of worship.
