The Time of my Life
Hi ! My name is Martine and I am French. I came to New Marske by chance when I started to study English and I staid with the Alexanders and their three children, Jean, John and Moira. I had a great time with them and I enjoyed it so much that I came over there every summer for three years in a row. I was a massive fan of England and I wanted to stay. Life decided otherwise and I never came back until three years ago, when I had the opportunity to make the jump. Now I live and work in Brighton but I can't wait to pay a visit to Yorkshire.
The area must have changed quite a lot over the years and I wonder wether I will recognize the places I loved so much.
Life was very peaceful. The people who lived there were very friendly and the Alexanders were incredibly nice to me.
I would be very grateful if I could find a way to have... Read more

Growing up in Yearby
Hi, I lived in Yearby from 1951 to 1966, I went to the village school, teacher was a Miss Lord, I had lots of fun. Children from Dunsdale joined in to make around 20 attending. Fond memories of all the people who lived there during my time. The village has changed a lot, do not know if it is for the better. I lived with my parents and brother Richard at No 1 Fishpond Road before moving into a new home at the back of Raine's garage, courtesy of the farm owner George Towers who my father worked for all the time we lived in Yearby. If anyone wants any information, providing I can remember please do get in touch. Cheers.
Holidays
I stayed here with my mother and sisters when I was 5 and later when I was 11. Then it was owned by the Holiday Fellowship (now HF Holidays) who ran walking holidays for families.
I have very fond memories of the house and the area. It was a magical place for a young child - very exciting to be in a big house right by the beach. It even had a games room with a ping pong table (yes it was a simpler time!)
Every day we went on guided walks and visited some lovely places including Goathland and Roseberry Topping? and in the evenings all the guests joined together and made their own entertainment.
We all had great fun!
This is my Grandma's House
The house on the left with the four attics was my Grandma's house. I have lots of fond memories of this house. I even had my own bedroom! Mine was the second attic from the left and it enjoyed a beautiful view of the gardens below. Grandma used to run a bed and breakfast, with also some long term boarders. I can remember helping to get the breakfast ready and putting it in the dumb waiter and running up the stairs and putting it by the door!! It was my job too to set the big dining table and call the guests for breakfast or tea. In the late afternoon we would retire to the cosy room and sit by the fire with the cuckoo clock ticking away the cold winter days!! I was just a girl then and this was my favorite place to come and was always coming in through the front door. I'd do anything to be there even if it meant helping my Gran with the... Read more
Remembering Marske By The Sea
We came to Marske in August 1948 having just demobbed from the Army 9 weeks earlier, we purchased a shop at 221 High St selling groceries, rations, ice cream etc. Our daughter was just 5 weeks old and was baptized in St Germain Church, our son Peter went to school in the Old Tithe Barn, Mrs Buttery was the teacher. Mr Skippon ran the Pictures with 5 changes a week, each show had 2 features, a cartoon & news reel, he also ran the taxi business. Mrs Sanders worked hard for the British Legion [women's section]. Jack Lynch did a lot of work for us, he replaced the garden in front of the shop and made a concrete pad in front, & cement-faced the front wall, and also removed a wall inside the shop to make it bigger. Frank Carter was a very good friend to us, also Jean his daughter. Frank helped me a lot a & nothing was too much for him, we had pigs at the bottom... Read more
Upleatham Church
I remember that The Green Howards (Army) did a renovation on the church some years ago. It could be anywhere between 1960 / 1970 ish, but I do remember that as a philatelist, a First Day Cover was issued and I bought one. Unfortunately I sold on my collection, so can't pinpoint that event. I know that they did a great clean up job, whitewashing the inner church and doing a general tidy up. I have recently been up to take my own photographs for my church 'Newsletter' as I do write up places of interest as a feature.
If anyone could furnish me with facts about the church I would be pleased to hear from them. My email is jim.humphrey@ntlworld.com
