This is my Grandma's house
The house on the left with the four attics was my Grandma's house. I have lots of fond memories of this house. I even had my own bedroom! Mine was the second attic from the left and it enjoyed a beautiful view of the gardens below. Grandma used to run a bed and breakfast, with also some long term boarders. I can remember helping to get the breakfast ready and putting it in the dumb waiter and running up the stairs and putting it by the door!! It was my job too to set the big dining table and call the guests for breakfast or tea. In the late afternoon we would retire to the cosy room and sit by the ...read more here

holidays
I stayed here with my mother and sisters when I was 5 and later when I was 11. Then it was owned by the Holiday Fellowship (now HF Holidays) who ran walking holidays for families.

Every day we went on guided walks and visited some lovely places including Goathland and Roseberry Topping? and in the evenings all the guests joined together and made their own entertainment.
We all had great fun!

Remembering Marske By The Sea
We came to Marske in August 1948 having just demobbed from the Army 9 weeks earlier, we purchased a shop at 221 High St selling groceries, rations, ice cream etc. Our daughter was just 5 weeks old and was baptized in St Germain Church, our son Peter went to school in the Old Tithe Barn, Mrs Buttery was the teacher.

Extracts From Marske-By-The-Sea & Cleveland books
The parish church of St Mark was built in 1867. In this view we see the shape of the original
tower of the church, which was damaged by fire in 1902 and rebuilt by the Marquis of Zetland.
An extract from from"Guisborough Photographic Memories".
Here we see the tower
of the church after the
rebuilding works,
showing the change
that was made to the
architectural style
of the top of the tower.
The shops in the
foreground include a
grocer’s on the corner,
and next to it is a
barber’s shop with its
distinctive pole.
An extract from from"Guisborough Photographic Memories".
This picturesque view
of the High Street is
flanked by the
Methodist chapel on
the left-hand side,
now converted into
residential units.
An extract from from"Guisborough Photographic Memories".
In this view of Marske
beach, with the
distinctive cliffs of
Huntcliffe in the
distance, there
appears to be some
form of camp being
held on the sands with
a row of distinctive
wigwam-like tents.
An extract from from"Guisborough Photographic Memories".
The row of houses on the left-hand side are known as Cliff Terrace; they look across the sands and
coastline towards Saltburn. In 1938, visitors to the beach could park their car at the bottom of the
slipway for 6d.
