  My Cousin, Pam
A memory of Danby, North Yorkshire

I have a cousin living in Danby. She was Pamela May Broomfield. She married a chap with the last name of Murphy. She was a Pharmacist, the last time I knew of her. It would be great to hear from her again. Last I knew her father Ken, sent a photo of the home she lived in, in Danby, with her zoo of animals.

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.

  Year: 1959 Lucky Me
A memory of Rosedale Abbey, North Yorkshire

In 1959, when I was 8 years old I was fostered along with my brother and sister and went to live in Rosedale Abbey. Actually it was just outside Rosedale Abbey, in School Row. I attended the local village primary school and sang in the church choir along with my brother and sister. I even rang the church bell! The photographs of the village bring back such happy times. For example, during term time we used to do our sports lessons on the village green and every year we would all gather to watch the Milk Race, someting which alas is no more. I have such happy memories of the years I spent in Rosedale. The long summer holidays when we used to go fishing and fruit picking and even helping bring in the harvest with the local farmers. I also remember the winters when the snow was so deep we were unable to go to school because the bus could not get up the road to pick us up. We didn't always manage to escape school though as often we would walk the one and a half miles into the village. That walk on summer evenings was so beautiful with the birds singing and we would often see the wild rabbits and weasles dashing across the road. I often think of those times and wish I could get back to visit my home once again. Unfortunately ill health now prevents that. But at least I have my wonderful memories and going back is often a disapointment as things are never the same. I want to keep my memories just as they are - very happy.

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
