Memories of The Bridge 1911, Middleham
This picture is Middleham Suspension Bridge.
Bywell
My ancestors The Bywells were from Middleham in the 1700's. I wonder if there are any Bywells still living there
Great Uncle Herbert?
My great grandfather, Christopher, owned Bridge House next to the bridge when this photo was taken, having moved there from Spennithorne where he had been the landlord of the Old Horn Inn. We believe the cart driver was my great Uncle Herbert who had a cart business in the Dale - his sisters the 'Miss Hauxwells' ran a fish business from their home. Herbert was killed, following a fall from the cart on his way home from the pub in Middleham, hitting his head on a gate post. He and his father are buried in Middleham churchyard.

Grocers Shop in Middleham
I used to stay with a friend in the 1950's in Middleham. Her parents had a grocers shop in the square and her father also had a mobile shop which he went round rural areas with. They also had a few hens and cows. Her father's name was Bob Doother.
The living quarters were above the shop. I have been back to Middleham recently but cannot find the building. If anyone reads this and can give me any information as to the location I would be very grateful.
I have such happy memories of walking down to the river and the riding stables.
