North Yorkshire memories
Growing up in Sherburn
I remember Beech Close looking like this. As a child growing up in Springfield Road between 1952 and 1961, I would often walk to the "Rec" to play on the swings and slide with my friends. There was a lovely nature walk that passed the quarry to a pretty little stream where we would play all day. My maiden name was Calvert. If anyone remembers me please e-mail me.

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

My Mother's Memories of Ledsham
I would sometimes go to Downing Street if I had a day in London but I always worked at Chartwell. They were very nice people to work for, Mrs Churchill never wanted me to leave, I can't remember why I did. Mother, Pop Gamble and Charles had gone to Yorkshire to live at a little place called Ledsham, as Mr Wheeler wanted a man to work on his estate in Yorkshire. There was a nice little house attached to the job. They had only been in one week when they were flooded out, there was no help in those days. Mother and family had to go and live in Ledston Hall until the house was made fit to live in again, Mother got new furniture bit by bit and soon got the place comfortable. I was still living in Kent and when I had time off I would visit my grandparents in Ospringe and go and stay with Aunt Alice and Uncle Bill at Kemsley near Sittingbourne, they made me... Read more
More Meories From Ethel Allen Nee Taylor
I would have liked to have gone back to Hawtreys as I was very happy there, but one day the Vicar came and asked mother if he could speak to me. He asked if I had got a place in mind and if I hadn't would I go to the Vicarage to look after him and the family as his wife was going into hospital to have another baby, they had two little girls, Sheila and Pam. There was a girls' orphanage in the village and the girls there would take turns to help me. So I went to help for a few weeks as I thought. Mrs. Capel-cure had a little boy(Adrian), they were such nice people to work for. When it was time for me to leave Mrs. Capelcure asked me to stay, so I decided to stay, she never complained about anything and was a very nice lady to get on with. When the work was done and it was a nice day the orphan girls and I... Read more
