North Yorkshire memories
Watching the Wainwright Walks programme this week, which covered the Swale valley part of the coast to coast route, I was reminded of Brompton on Swale. My best friend's sister and her husband went to Brompton on Swale in the 1950s to work at a local hall/big house for a lady named (what sounded to me at the time, like) Madame... [more]

In my youth I looked out on this view many times from the Castle Keep. We lived on Westfields Road which can just be seen over to the left of the picture.

I went to Richmond Grammar from 1963 to 1969. I left the area shortly after that and have only recently returned to North Yorkshire. I'm currently trying to get in touch with many of my old school friends. It's great to see this picture!

The picture reminds of the year that my wife and I moved from Birmingham to Richmond and bought a house on what was then the new Shepherds Estate on the Darlington Road. We soon came to love Richmond, N Yorkshire and that area for the people and countryside, that to a townie was an enlightening experience. We lived in Richmond for... [more]

Extracts From Skeeby & North Yorkshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Skeeby, inspired by Frith photos.
Richmond Photographic Memories
This amazingly small- scale country lane is now not only surfaced and widened but installed with traffic-calming cushions to curb speed on the main Richmond-Darlington road. The building on the left became the village's Jubilee Hall in 1978. The boy is carrying oars – most intriguing! Behind him is the small church of St Agatha.

Richmond Photographic Memories
Some women artists paint the view of Richmond from across the River Swale. In the left distance can be seen smoke rising from the gasworks beside the falls. Richmond had one of the earliest gasworks in Europe, built in 1820 to provide street lighting for the fashionable Georgian town.
