Memories of North Yorkshire
New Website
Here in Helperby we have hosted a great Hidden Gardens every July. And this year it will be even better.
Last year was great , the weather hot and the strawberrys were very tasty.
But we wanted to share more of Helperby with everyone. so we made a village website, for the people who live there. They can add what they want. Talk in the forums and post events in the calendar.
Please have a look, as currently we are building a gallery of photos taken by the people who live there.

I Need Help
I have just moved in with my fiance at Woodland's House on Main Street in Helperby. His birthday is coming up and I was looking for a unique gift. I thought some old photos or building plans would be interesting for both of us. I know the house has been a pub, a bicycle shop, a general store, and also had a petrol pump out front. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lisa
My Grandad
I don't have a memory, but I am researching the Lamberts' family tree and my dad Alfred Horace came from Helperby and his father was the village bobby, his name was David Lambert and he married a Mary Elizabeth Hicks, all I know is he lived in the main street in Helperby, his birth was 1851. I think he also worked in the village pub. He had quite a large family,13 or 14 children. I would love to know if anybody has any information about this family, I am his grandaughter.
Millennium Stone
The large stone in the photograph was used as part of the millennium seat, which is now situated on the village green.
The building to the left of the picture is 'The Forge' - the Swann family have lived here for over 80 years.
The Three Horseshoes
The photo shows the public house 'The Three Horseshoes'. It was one of three pubs in Great Ouseburn, the other two been 'The Bay Horse' & 'The Crown Inn', the latter is the only one remaining as a public house.
