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.
The Old Fox And Goose
We moved to the old Fox and Goose (next to the tiny shop and just up the road from the Blue Bell pub) in 1962. I was 8 and my brother 3. We stayed for around 2 years. My Dad worked for Alne Brick Co. My Mum cleaned houses. Our long narrow back garden was knee deep in daffodils - I have loved them ever since. There was a cellar beneath the old pub that was now our home and an air raid shelter out the back. I went to the tiny village school at the end of the road, all ages in one class together. My best friend was Ruth who lived at the vicarage and she taught me to ride a bike. My brother and I spent many, many happy hours tadpoling in the stream behind the school with our friends. It was a magical time and I carry the tranquility and beauty of that time with me always.
Living at Linton Lock
My grandfather Bertie Dawson was the Lock Keeper for several years. I also lived there from around 1953 for 3 years, very happy memories !
Linton-On-Ouse Lock
My ancestor, the Atkinson family lived in this house on the 1901 census, other family members controlled a lock in Leeds
Linton Lock, Linton on Ouse
My family, the Wilkinsons, were Lockeepers from 1851, and left between 1891 and 1901.
