Hubert Atkinson

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).

Memories

I was born in East Harlsey in 1946 and was educated in the village school which of course is now a private house, or is it two.  I remember there being two classrooms and, if my memory is correct, the teacher was a Mrs Lyle??   I seem to remember we called her "jam pot".  At that time the shop was run...

The Black Bull, Great Smeaton

A little bit of history about the Black Bull. My GGG Grandfather Thomas Banks (1791-1869) was the inn keeper during the 1850's and possibly for a short period before that. He also ran the slaughterhouse and the butchery business behind the pub which is referred to by Malcolm in his memory. Thomas died in 1869. The Black Bull and butchery was... [more]

First house

In this picture I lived in the house with the porch sticking out, just past the pub THE BLACK BULL (white building). Up the side of my house, or country cottage as it was termed, was a slaughter house at the back.  I worked in Patons & Baldwins in Darlington textile mill as a woolsorter.

North Yorkshire Living Memories

Osmotherley on the eastern edge of the North York Moors is perhaps best known to walkers as the usual starting point of the marathon 40-mile Lyke Wake Walk, which crosses the moors by their highest points to Ravenscar. This view shows W and V Soppet's village stores (centre).

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories

On the western edge of the North York Moors, Osmotherly was a centre for milling, weaving and clog making, and it grew considerably in the hundred years from 1750. The flax mill at Cod Beck is now a Youth Hostel, while the old School Room of 1836 is now the Village Hall. Lady Chapel, above the village, is 600 years old.... [more]

Guisborough Photographic Memories

Church Lane leads to the entrance to Skelton Castle and also to the old church, which was erected in 1785. After closing in 1904, it stood empty for many years, but it has been lovingly restored and is now back in use.
