North Yorkshire memories
Chilhood Memories of Sancton And Arras Wold Farm
My memories of Sancton are happy childhood ones, my grandmother lived here from 1901 and when she moved to Leeds many years later I was taken back to Sancton to visit my aunt and uncle Albert and Mary Lund who lived at Arras Wold and worked on the farm there for all their working lives. The countryside was beautiful and my best memories are of there as I loved all the animals that were on the farm. My aunt knew all the local people whom we visited regulary while I was there and we always walked into the village of Sancton as lots of friends still lived there. My aunt and uncle were married at All Saints' Church there and when sadly they died (my aunt in Dec 1991 and uncle 3 months later in Mar 1992) they were both buried at All Saints' Church. I still go occasionaly and visit Sancton, it's a beautiful little village and I reminisce of my time spent there when I was a child.... Read more
Bungalow Farm Hull Road North Newbald
My husband, Bill Carr & I moved to Bungalow Farm with two of our sons, Michael & James, in August 1984 from Market place South Cave. Denis, our eldest son had bought a cottage in Broomfleet with a girlfriend, and moved there about the same time. Bungalow Farm is situated high on the hill one mile out of North Newbald village and one mile approximately the other way from High Hunsley crossroads, towards Beverley. It is a smallholding with buildings and a 5-bay dutch barn, which unfortunately blew down in the severe gales of Christmas 1997. When we moved there we had a Jersey cow called Daisy, who had a gentle nature and was very playful, especially with our collie dog, they used to play chase-me all around the field, until they were both worn out and then they would lay together in the field in the sunshine. We also had a few goats and chickens at that time too. We kept... Read more
Escrick Park Gardens - Market Gardens - 1950 - 1966
My aunt and uncle - Mr and Mrs George Pratt - used to manage the market gardens in Escrick. We had many happy holidays there, and I remember the peaches and apricots growing up the wall, rows and rows of runner beans, greenhouses full of tomatoes and cucumbers etc. They lived in the large house (it could have been a tied or rented house with the job) with 7 of my cousins, who used to work for their father.
My earliest memory is going up on the train and alighting at a small level crossing 'somewhere' (it may have been Saltmarsh) and my grandmother (the only time I remember seeing her) meeting us with other family members. At that time they all lived and worked at Saltmarsh. I still have relatives in the area around York and Wheldrake etc. My grandmother Hannah Richardson nee Gamwell is buried in St Helen's Churchyard, Escrick.
My surname before marriage was Richardson, I can trace my family tree back to 1605 and Mathew Brunyee,... Read more
Four Years Old
My earliest memories were in Fulford, York, at the tail end of the 1960s before my parents moved me to South Yorkshire at the age of six in 1971. My father worked at what was then called the Labour Exchange in York. He was later promoted to a position in ACAS and did very well. He was born and bred in Fulford and my grandmother lived there until she died in 1980. I often wonder how my life would have been if we stayed there. I went to Fulford infant school. We lived on the modern housing estate at the back of the motorway. Mum would pick me up from school in the blue Anglia car. You don't see many of those now. Mum was very young and beautiful. She wore mini skirts in those days. As a little boy I thought that was normal as all women are supposed to be beautiful and wear mini skirts. I would cry at school over the daftest things because I didn't have... Read more
The Street
I lived in Naburn at Chapel House. My Aunty Mary Walker lived in this row of houses on the left. She lived with the Tweedies family. In 1949 these houses had big back yards where they collected refuse and recycled it.
Youth Hostel
I first went to Naburn Hall in 1947, at that time it was an overflow hostel. I was cycling from London to Inverness at the age of 13. The hostel at York was full, so I was directed to Naburn Hall. When the "Commander" (the owner of Naburn Hall) heard this not only would he not take any money from me but gave me ten shillings to help me on my way, also he invited me to stay with him as his guest on a number of occasions, which I did up to 1952 when I was called up for National Service. On one occasion he took me to Whitby in his Sunbeam Talbot, he also owned a motor cycle. He had an interest in young people, another visitor was another young man that visited him from Andover in Hampshire, he arrived on a Velocette motor bike.
Marriage of William Tasker And Margaret Webster
William Tasker and Margaret Webster were married November 24, 1846 in the Parish Church, Stillingfleet, York. William and Margaret are my Great Great Grandparents. They emmigrated to Tilbury, East Ontario, Canada. They are both buried in Victoria Cemetary on Tasker Road in Baddertown, Ontario Canada.
