Northallerton & local memories
Read and share memories of Northallerton and North Yorkshire inspired by Frith photos
I was born in Northallerton in 1952. My father was a cousin of the Smirthwaites and therefore worked in the garage that was once where Argos now stands. My mothers family were Atkinson's and they lived in South Parade. There were 6 children in the family (2 girls and 4 boys). They lived there during WW11 and my mother has fond memories of the time she spent in that house. Her parents were McCabes and lived in the Nags Head Yard. Two aunts had the 2 little houses next to The Nags Head. One is now a clothes shop and the other one has been knocked down to accommodate the roundabout. I went to Mill Hill School and was very happy there. We left Northallerton in 1961 when we moved to Richmond, but I have lovely memories of life in Northallerton where I was surrounded by a large and close family.

Hello, my name is John Smith. I used to be a previous resident in the Thrintoft area during my chilhood. I would like to re-associate or contact some of my old companions from the area. Thrintoft is the only place I have great memories of in my younger days and I am looking for people to share them with or to speak to any of my old friends thank you.
PS. I lived there for about 10 years from 1948 to 1958.

Hubert Atkinson was my grandfather and his mother lived in the house next to the blacksmiths. I was born in 1961 and have a photo of my great-grandmother, mother and grandfather standing outside the cottage (with me in her arms). I have happy memories of playing in the village at an early age. The house was opposite a large cow shed were a pony and trap would pull up outside to load milk churns on to it. Also the blacksmiths was still working. My grandfather married Florence Tullidge who I think worked in service at the local hall. I distinctly remember my great-grandmother having a piece of goggles (very gruesome) which had belonged to a pilot who had crashed in the field to the rear of the village during the Second World War. Hope this jogs some one's memory. Please contact me with any more information.

My name is Phillip Robinson. My parents Tom & Eileen lived in Priory View, East Harlsey, in the late 60's. My uncle Charles Derrick McGookin has a plaque inside the village church dedicated to him. My grandparents from Robinson and McGookin are buried in the churchyard.
I also remember the landlady from the Cat & Bagpipes, which I believe to be the only public house named this in the country!
I now live in Darlington, however often return to the village to visit the area and the church.
