Great Ayton, High Street c1965 (ref: G112048)
Childhood
A memory of Great Ayton, Cleveland

My Great Aunt stayed in Holly Garth and we visited her frequently as children during the 1970's early 80's, I have many, many happy memories of times spent in the beck, herding ducks and Suggit's ice cream, the best on the planet. We spent many hours walking up High Street to the High Green, walking up to Captain Cook's Monument and up Roseberry. My Gran (Laura Armstrong as was) and Grampa used to take us down, they are now 90 and 89 respectively but I believe still have relatives in the village. I would love to bring my son down but we haven't managed it yet, hopefully soon. Ann Harrison, Mauchline, Ayrshire, Scotland

The first house in Waterfall Terrace is where my grandparents lived for many decades. John and Ann Scott. I love that place.

Kildale, the Valley c1960 (ref: K69017)
Year: 1963 Rainbow Trout
A memory of Kildale, North Yorkshire

Now a resident of Australia, I still have fond memories of catching a train to Kildale as a 13 year old and walking over the moors, and later, cycling from Thornaby through Commondale and back home. I remember laying down near a stream that passed under the road and trying to catch a couple of trout that stayed almost motionless as my bait bounced off their mouths. I also remember that there was a Saint Bernard dog in the front garden of one of the houses that always came up to see who was passing by. I have been trying to identify some places on 'google earth' but it seems a bit different  to what I remember. I hope to revisit in 2009 for the first trip home since 1964.

In the 1960's we as a family nearly every year went for a day out getting the train from Hartlepool to the nearest station to Roseberry topping then there would be the climb to the top where we would have our picnic, we have photos of our picnics.

  Year: 1967 My Family
A memory of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire

My name is Phillip Robinson. My parents Tom & Eileen lived in Priory View, East Harlsey, in the late 60's. My uncle Charles Derrick McGookin has a plaque inside the village church dedicated to him. My grandparents from Robinson and McGookin are buried in the churchyard.

I also remember the landlady from the Cat & Bagpipes, which I believe to be the only public house named this in the country!

I now live in Darlington, however often return to the village to visit the area and the church.
