More on the Williamson of Tythby
I was born in Tythby in 1948. Rose Cottage on the Cross Roads of Tythby. Church on one corner, Miss Cox's house on another and Bagleys's farm on the other. The youngest of the eight Williamsons. Ours was a full household but I have happy memories of it. Listen with Mother came on the radio at 1.45pm. Mum said I used to tell her to be quiet while washing up so that I could listen the the two nursery ryhmes and the story packed into the 15 minutes before Womans Hour started at 2.00pm.
As well as the two pigs mention in brother Brians memories...by the way they had names...Curly and Shorty as far as I can remember named after ...read more here

Tithby or Tythby.
I used to live in the village of TYTHBY, spelled with a Y and not an I. I did not even know that there was another village close by with a similar name. But I have checked on the computer and there it is, not too far away in the general direction of Langar. But I do not think there ever was a village in that place during my time at Tythby, perhaps someone knows different.
I remember the then vicar, Mr. Evans, telling us in Sunday School that the name came from the fact that at one time there was a barn there where taxes, or tythes, were collected and stored. Hence TYTHE BARN, or Tythby, maybe I have been ...read more here

Shopping memories.
This photograph shows two ladies chatting together in the foreground. On the right in the floral dress is my mother Mrs Beatrice Farnsworth. My family have been farmers in the locality for three generations. My mother's car is parked on the road just behind her. The shop to the side is Perham Cox, which was a family grocer, which also delivered groceries to our house on a weekly basis. The other lady is Mrs Jean Salmon who was also married to a local farmer.
The way shopping was done in those days involved parking at the top of Bridge Street and moving the car down the hill as each shop was visited. This is now a pedestrian area. The only shiop I ...read more here

Samuel Page - Umbrella maker.
This photo shows my great grandfather's shop, nearly opposite the one owned by Jesse Boot. The shop has (on the left hand side of the photo) the name S. Page (Samuel Page) just above the wooden statue of Jonas Hanway holding an umbrella and the name of the shop was Hanway House; Samuel Page being an Umbrella Manufacturer and Dealer in Ladies and Gentlemen's waterproofs and all kinds of Travelling Requisites. Jonas Hanway brought the umbrella to this country from China and Japan. He was laughed at for carrying such an item as it was considered effeminate. Samuel Page was a noted umbrella maker because of the excellent quality of the silk that he used in ...read more here

Extracts From Tithby & Nottinghamshire books
Two miles south of Langold, Carlton in Lindrick is a village of two parts, the original village to the
south and a large former colliery village with hard red brick semi-detached houses. At the heart of
the old village to the west of the Doncaster Road is the parish church with its fine Anglo-Saxon west
tower. This view is of the Norman west door in the tower, which was moved from the nave in 1831.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
Immediately south-
west of the village
and approached
via Church Street is
Langold Country Park,
dominated by a fine
lake. It was laid out
as the landscaped
park to a country
house that was never
built, although the
foundations were laid
in 1818. Acquired by
the Coal Board, the
park was managed as
a recreational facility
for their mining
village of Langold.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
When the Coal Board closed
the mine, the park was
taken over by Worksop Rural
District Council; in 1974 it
passed to the new Bassetlaw
District Council, who now
administer it. To the south
of the lake the Coal Board
built a children’s swimming
pool. It was later made
rectangular, but now appears
disused and empty of water.
The buildings have been
demolished, but the park
is well used and the lake is
popular with fishermen.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
Continuing south towards
Worksop on the A60, the
route reaches Langold,
situated a mile south of
Oldcotes. The village was
built to house the coalminers
of nearby Costhorpe Colliery,
now closed. Out of view on
the left is the village, mostly
neat former 1950s Coal
Board and council houses,
and on the right is the main
shopping parade along the
Doncaster Road. The village
had its own cinema, the
Palace, the white building
with the semi-circular
pediment; it is now a bar and
snooker hall.
An extract from from"Nottinghamshire Living Memories".
Frith’s photographer
was looking from the
front of the Waterfront
Inn towards the Trent
lock, with the old
lock keeper’s cottage
to its left and the
warehouse to its right.
The building at the
far right now houses
the West Stockwith
Yacht Club, and was
extended in the 1970s.
