North Yorkshire memories
80's
I'm not sure whether this is the correct place but it looks like Woodlands Road where my grandparents live. My Cousins and myself spent many a school holiday here during the 80's and very early 90's, mainly playing around the Beck at the bottom of the road, and in the adjacent 'playing fields'.
Very happy memories. . . .
I Live Down Here
Well, I've just moved down here from York. It's pretty nice and I have a few memories of the park and the church. It's very pretty.
Evacuees
I was evacuated to Rillington during the Second World War. I have been trying to find records of evacuees but have not been succesful. Does anybody remember the evacuees?
Church Going Memories.
I lived in Malton for many years and as a schoolboy sang in the church choir. Services alternated on Sundays between St Leonard's Church (the one with a spire) and the older St Michael's church in the Market Place. St Leonard's was eventually transferred to the Malton catholic following as diminishing membership of the Church of England Church could not support both buildings.
Home Town
The place where I was born and grew up.
The West Family
Research into my family history took me and my father to the beautiful villages of Bulmer and Eddlethorpe. It was a very moving experience to see my great-great-great-grandfather's headstone, William West, who my own father is named after. He was a schoolmaster in Bulmer and was originally from Eddlethorpe. I believe his father may also have been a schoolmaster in Eddlethorpe. I would dearly love to trace any living relatives or know more about the West family.
Happy Days
I have happy memories of going down to the swing bridge in the school holidays when we visited our grandma in Huttons Ambo, long summer days going down to Leamans' shop for a block of ice cream and running back up the hill before it melted. Grandma Allen lived at Wolds View Cottages, we would go with her to clean the church and would play in the churchyard till she was ready. She seemed to always to be cleaning for people, she was widowed and lived there with our uncle Steve, he would take us up and down the lane on his tractor. Went to the school there for a while in 1955 when our mother was ill, Mrs Ronald was the school mistress and lived two doors away from Grandma's. Lovely little village which has not changed, and so reminds me so much of my childhood whenever I go back.
