 Great Smeaton, c1955 (ref: g114005) |
Year: 1860s
The Black Bull, Great Smeaton A memory of Great Smeaton, North Yorkshire A little bit of history about the Black Bull. My GGG Grandfather Thomas Banks (1791-1869) was the inn keeper during the 1850's and possibly for a short period before that. He also ran the slaughterhouse and the butchery business behind the pub which is referred to by Malcolm in his memory. Thomas died in 1869. The Black Bull and butchery was then run by his son Thomas, until his death in 1887 when it was taken over by his sister Elizabeth with the help of another sister Margaret. Margaret died in 1912 and Elizabeth in 1914. All were, I believe, buried at St Eloy Church in Great Smeaton. Posted: 11/07/2008 20:49 by Peter Allen |

Great Smeaton, c1955 (ref: g114005) |
Year: 1964
First house A memory of Great Smeaton, North Yorkshire In this picture I lived in the house with the porch sticking out, just past the pub THE BLACK BULL (white building). Up the side of my house, or country cottage as it was termed, was a slaughter house at the back. I worked in Patons & Baldwins in Darlington textile mill as a woolsorter.

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. Posted: 01/05/2008 17:03 by Phillip Robinson |

Year: 1946
Memories A memory of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire I was born in East Harlsey in 1946 and was educated in the village school which of course is now a private house, or is it two. I remember there being two classrooms and, if my memory is correct, the teacher was a Mrs Lyle?? I seem to remember we called her "jam pot". At that time the shop was run by a Mrs Topham, not sure of the spelling. My grandmother was the caretaker of the village hall as she was for about 25yr and as a child I remember playing in the hall and on the back lawn. I often helped my gran clean which was great fun. Polishing the dance floor and dashing through from the house with hot irons for her to iron the snooker table. I also remember that when one of the regular dances was taking place my cousin and I would sneak up into the projection room and look down at all that was going on. I, of course, also remember life was very hard then. The house we lived in is now I believe a one bed property. But there where 8 of us in that house and when I was very young I know we had no running water and we had to go to the village pump to collect it. It was also an outside midden (I tried to spend as much of my time as possible at my grans). I remember the landlady of the Cat & Bagpipes was called Nellie Elliott, a very strange lady I thought as a child. I also remember going to watch the Coronation at the village shop with a lot of other kids. It was the first TV I saw. I remember sitting on the floor with my feet on top of one of her two golden labs (funny what you remember). I often visit the village as my parent's and grandparent's are at rest in the churchyard there. I don't think it has changed a lot. More houses, more cars for sure but I would think not enough children to run a village school again if that was possible. I also think it is a shame that there is no shop now but I would hope that there is still a strong community spirit because I think that's what makes a place. "Ah well happy memories".

 Northallerton, North End c1960 (ref: N75002) |
South Parade A memory of Northallerton, North Yorkshire I was born in Northallerton in 1952. My father was a cousin of the Smirthwaites and therefore worked in the garage that was once where Argos now stands. My mothers family were Atkinson's and they lived in South Parade. There were 6 children in the family (2 girls and 4 boys). They lived there during WW11 and my mother has fond memories of the time she spent in that house. Her parents were McCabes and lived in the Nags Head Yard. Two aunts had the 2 little houses next to The Nags Head. One is now a clothes shop and the other one has been knocked down to accommodate the roundabout. I went to Mill Hill School and was very happy there. We left Northallerton in 1961 when we moved to Richmond, but I have lovely memories of life in Northallerton where I was surrounded by a large and close family.
