CHILDHOOD DAYS
I was born in Ryther in 1956 in the house that my parents still live in on Mill Lane.
I have lots of happy memories of my school days at the primary school which has now been converted into a house.
We had lots of adventures especially in the floods which happened every year then. The milkman used to come in a boat to bring us milk.
My father now 81 years and mother 89 years are the oldest residents in the village and have been there since 1954.
My father has lots of pictures of Ryther and lots of stories.
North Yorkshire memories
Childhood
I have happy memories of childhood days living in Cawood and I still live here. I remember the bank and Wethralls' shop although I was very young but they are still very fresh in my mind, also the butchers' shop on the left which was Kettlewoods, then Baileys, then Summersgills. My uncle had a van like what is parked up in the photograph. We all used to get in and go to the east coast for day trips, 7 altogether, that included 4 adults and 3 kids, passing time but happy days.

Ancestor Request
This may seem morbid, but my wife's brother died in infacny, in Ulleskelf. He was born in 1951, and died, tragically, on Boxing Day, 1954. We are desperate to find his burial place, in order that we may visit. His name was Leonard Ainsworth. His father was Basil Ainsworth, who was in the R.A.F., based locally in Church Fenton. Any information would be gratefully received. Col Gill, Derbyshire, Tel: 01773874994//07875752998 e-mail: cgill4@sky.com
Flag Day at School
I was one of 7 children that lived at Tile House, Bolton Lodge. I attended Bolton Percy C of E Primary School. I am not quite sure what this flag day event was for, but I remember it was always a sunny day, so it must have been in the summer. All the children used to go into the playground and wave flags as a parade of people went by. I can remember some were in wheelchairs and I am sure this happened every year. It was a very special day that stays in my memory, but I can't remember what the parade was for (it can't have been a rememberence for the war because it was summer time, not November), does anyone else remember this event? Or does anyone else have any other memories of Bolton Percy? I would love to know. We visited the village about 2 years ago and spoke to somone in the pub who told us when the school closed they had an exhibition of... Read more
