Boynton Hall Revisited 1975, by Matthew Strickland Quarles

I visited Boynton Hall during my year long study abroad as an English Speaking Union Scholarship recipient to Wrekin College, in Wellington, Telford, Shropshire, during the academic year 1974/1975.
At that time an architect, Mr Cooke and his wife were the owners of Boynton Hall. I had written to Mr. Cooke prior to my visiting the Hall at the suggestion of my elderly cousin who had visited the home some years previously and made the acquaintance of the Cookes.
At the time of my visit the Hall had been sectioned off in order to maintain a residence as well as a flat or two. Mr. Cooke graciously toured me throughout the house showing me the secret passageway, as well as ...read more here

Family Holidays

Bridlington, Limekiln Lane Camp c1955

Limekiln Lane camp site is a special place for me, my grandparents spent many happy holidays there in the 1950s. Once their children arrived they went along too. Jaqueline and Harold had children of their own, I am one of those children. I have six children and every year we return for a fortnight, my children adore this special place. It holds lots of special memories for me and my family. My uncle now owns a van there, a little different from the early days of lighting the gas mantles and weeing in a bucket.

Bridlington holidays

Bridlington, Limekiln Lane Camp c1955

I have many fond memories of the holidays I had in Bridlington when I was young. We stayed with a Mr and Mrs Morris who lived at Havelock Crescent, I remember they had a daughter called Margaret. I used to love looking at the clock made from flowers which was on the front. I still come to Bridlington for 2 weeks every year but now stay on Pembroke Terrace.

Still there!

Bridlington, Limekiln Lane Camp c1955

The caravan site on Lime Kiln Lane in Brid is still flourishing - I had no idea it had been there so long!
We are fortunate enough to have a place there for our grandchildren to enjoy the full benefits of the sea-side. Its a very happy place.

Extracts From Carnaby & North Humberside books

Carnaby, the Church c1885

The church of St John the Baptist is in the village of Carnaby, which is just over two miles from Bridlington and was on the Scarborough and Hull branch of the North Eastern Railway line. The registers date from 1596, and the church has had many alterations over the centuries.

Burton Fleming, the Church c1960

The church of St Cuthbert is of Early English origins, but was restored in 1877 and partially rebuilt in brick. There was once a south aisle, but this was removed, as was the chancel arch. A small turret clock, with two dials, was erected in the tower in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s jubilee.

Sewerby, the Hall c1885

The Hall was built in the early 18th century, when the parkland was laid out; it includes the oldest monkey-puzzle trees in the world. The house and grounds were bought by Bridlington Council in 1934 and opened to the public by Amy Johnson. After her death on one of her long-distance flights, her father gave her memorabilia to the Hall, and the Amy Johnson room was opened in 1956.

Bridlington, the Esplanade Bandstand 1886

Protected on the north-east by the great headland of Flamborough, there are long stretches of fine sand both north and south of the harbour. Away from the cold winds, the Victorian gentry were able to pursue their favourite pastime - a gentle stroll.

Bridlington, Prince's Parade 1923

This used to be the most genteel of the Yorkshire seaside resorts, a view that is exemplified by the promenading of the nouveau riche in this 1920s photograph.
