North Yorkshire memories

Clifford Egan

My father Clifford Egan passed away at 80 years old on the 27th July last year, 2010. He was brought up in Kirbymoorside and had wanted to return there for a visit for many years, but due to ill health he didn't make it back. I know from family records that his mother Florence Egan and father John Egan ran a shop in the town at Dale End, there are now new houses built on this site. If anybody has a photo of the shop I would be very interested to see it and also if anybody remembers the family it would be nice to hear your memories. Kevin.

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?

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.

Beck Isle Ponies

My auntie and uncle Peggy and Raymond Cook used to own a riding school, they called it Beck Isle Ponies, can anyone else remember them? I lost touch with them when I was only little.

Scackleton C of E School

Mine is not so much my memory as an account of the doings/correspondance relating to Scackleton School from Sept 17th 1928 to the early 1930s. I picked up this school log book in a junk shop 30 years ago and it's just travelled with me among all my other books. This book is so interesting - as well as original correspondance re hiring and firing, wages etc at the school, there are also many letters re school activities and even maintainance. There are referances to naughty boys (Mansfield Sanderson crops up now and again!- in detail!, in fact there is a list of names in one case) and all doings at the school. There are letters from his lordship in "Gleneagles", Perthshire, giving instructions to the head(Anette Boyes I believe at that time), and lots of other carbon copies of letters sent by vaious teachers to the education dept. All very South Riding in tone, colour and deferance. An interesting book.

Church Going Memories.

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.
