North Yorkshire memories

Church Going Memories.

Market Place c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I lived in Malton for many years and as a schoolboy sang in the church choir. Services alternated on Sundays between St Leonard's Church (the one with a spire) and the older St Michael's church in the Market Place. St Leonard's was eventually transferred to the Malton catholic following as diminishing membership of the Church of England Church could not support both buildings.

Home Town

The place where I was born and grew up.

Robson And Hodgson Ancestors

My great great grandfather Francis Robson was born here about 1847 to James Robson and Mary, who was a Hodgeson before marriage. I think he had a sister called Patience and brother called Johnathan. Francis walked all the way to Bridlington to find work,where he married and had a large family. I would love to find out if any decendants of the other children are still living in the area. Also who were Jame's parents?

80's

The Council Houses c1960

I'm not sure whether this is the correct place but it looks like Woodlands Road where my grandparents live. My Cousins and myself spent many a school holiday here during the 80's and very early 90's, mainly playing around the Beck at the bottom of the road, and in the adjacent 'playing fields'.

Very happy memories. . . .

I Live Down Here

Well, I've just moved down here from York. It's pretty nice and I have a few memories of the park and the church. It's very pretty.

Evacuees

I was evacuated to Rillington during the Second World War. I have been trying to find records of evacuees but have not been succesful. Does anybody remember the evacuees?

Cum Agen Cafe

This picture brings back very happy memories for me, as it shows my grandparents' (Arthur and Madge Douglas) shop and cafe (Cum agen Cafe) where we spent many, many happy times.  Pickering certainly has changed since then.  On the left is the old Labour Exchange above which was a flat where Olive Watson used to live, then Cum Agen Cafe (now a vets), then what is now the Crossways Hotel (used to be grain shop run by the Honis family and then a cafe run by the Frank Family. A family called Stead used to live on the first and second floors.  The row of shops/cottages following on was demolished when they built the roundabout.  At the top, facing down Eastgate is the Forest and Vale Hotel.  A fair used to come to Pickering every year and was set up on the car park in front of the houses.
