My Grandad's House
The House on the left of the photo was my Nanna And Grandad's house.
Summertime at Overdale Cottage
I have happy childhood memories of a summer my brother and I spent in Burtersett. We, along with our mother had travelled from our home in Canada and were visiting our grandparents William and Ethel Lawson, and our aunt Joan at Overdale Cottage. The four hundred plus year old cottage, was across the lane from the Thwaite Farm and I remember that kind family providing great company and new experiences. We watched the birthing of a calf, and participated in the 'haymaking' which, for us lucky kids, consisted of riding the wagon - perched high up on the bails of hay as they were brought to their rightful place in a barn. I remember hiking the dale to a lake for afternoon swims (Semerwater I believe it is called), and walking a path through the fields to Hawes on Market Day. The only store in Burtersett was also a source of entertainment; the shopkeeper always appearing happy to see us. I also remember antagonizing a bull in the fields for... Read more
BLACKSMITH
My great-great-great-grandad was a blacksmith at Countersett - and I am thinking of coming over from Lincoln to see if there are any Metcalfes buried in the churchyard. He was born in 1805, and married Elizabeth Armstrong who was born 1811.
Winnville
Winnville opposite Askrigg Post Office was the residence of George Winn and his wife Elizabeth. George was born in 1808 in Nappa Hall Askrigg along with his brothers Richard Metcalfe Winn and John Winn who became the vicar of St Andrews Church in Aysgarth. George followed the family tradition and became a solicitor.
His son William Edmund Metcalfe Winn was born in Winnville in 1845 and followed his father and became a solicitor also. George, as was his father, was one of the four men of Askrigg (a local councillor). Winnville is now the White Rose Hotel.
The Dales
I cycled with my friend Mike Porter and also several times with another friend Derrick Wheatley when we were in the Richmond Cycling Club.
Great Nights Out
I had the best nights out of my life in the George Inn after working at Greenfield Estate where I met my late wife Beth Connel. We married at Hubberholme Church in 1984 and moved to Horton. The George was full of local characters the landlord Bill Jones lived there with his mum (Mar) and Dad Elise who told you off if you messed with the log fire and made it smoke, a candle always burned on the bar. The Local Butcher called at 10:30pm and we all bought steak to cook for supper after hours. Folk singers came from Bradford at the weekends. The beer and company was just great in the 70s.

1952
I stayed at Netherside Hall in 1952, Mr Anderton was the headmaster. I have some vivid memories of the school and grounds, but I am hopeless with names, only a couple come to mind, John Firth, Ronnie Reeves. I was the only boy I think without asthma, I used to sneak inhalers for the other boys. I was captain of the football side, and we played on the small pitch next to the road. One of the boys fell out of the big tree opposite the hall and was badly injured. We watched the 1952 cup final on black and white TV, every afternoon we had to carry our fold-up camp beds and have an afternoon nap. We made a NNC broadcast from the hall and I remember the presenter was called Bertha Lonsdale.
