Linton Camp

Hi
I was at Linton Camp, 1960 to 64, and recall playing foortball at Netherside Hall, I particularly recall getting bathed after the match, in a proper bath, we thought that a bit odd, as we had communial showers at Linton Camp. I think the match was to do with the Upper Wharfedale Cup, we also plyed a few other schools, and I think we won the cup, but cant be sure. I was centre forward, but frankly was pretty naff.
I have been doing a bit of research concerning Linton Camp, or Special Residential Scholl as it was renamed after Bradford Education bought it from The National Camps Assc. Although it was generally known as 'Camp'. I have a few photos of Linton on my web site at:
www.hartingdon.com
None sadly of Netherside.

Congregational Church, Grassington.

My Gradfather, the Reverend Thomas Arthur Bairstow was the minister of this church from 1943-47. Leading off one corner of the market square is the grey stone church. It was the last church in which he ministered before he retired due to ill health. I have an old photograph of the Manse taken during the 1940's and it was heartening to find, on a visit there a few years ago, that the Manse and Church remain and especially that the Church is such a lively Christian place of worship.

Winter at The Hall

As a boy I remember the big open fireplace in the main hall, and the times the large glass sheet above the fireplace falling down - this was to be a yearly thing if I recall correctly. Other memories - making our own snow skis; repairing the old greenhouse; the flying fox; tennis courts in front of the hall; playing football against Grassington School and winning; an old schoolmate playing God Save The Queen on his trumpet after being encouraged by us, then him getting into trouble. Anyone remember these days? - feel free to contact me.

Netherside Hall

Thank you for the photo of Netherside Hall. This was a boys school and I was there from 1952 to 1955. This has brought a lot of memories back to me - thank you.

Extracts From Ramsgill & North Yorkshire books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Ramsgill, inspired by Frith photos.

North Yorkshire Living Memories

Ramsgill is another village in Upper Nidderdale. The parish church was built in 1842, and is furnished inside with altar rails by Robert Thompson, the famous ‘mouse man’ of Kilburn (see K68008, p53).

Ilkley Town and City Memories

It is well worth the effort to climb up these rocks: you’re on top of the world, if a little weary and overheated. Luckily, just below refreshments are to hand at the Cow and Calf Inn, formerly known as the Highfield.

Ilkley Town and City Memories

In this photograph you can see the top of the Semon Convalescent Home just beyond the reservoir. A fair walk westwards then brings you to the Swastika Stone, which is unique in this country. Other examples have been found in Tossene in Sweden and Mycenae in Greece and all depict fertility and religious symbols. The council placed the iron railing around the site in 1913.
