I Lived In 1 Rockcliffe View Carlin How

A Memory of Carlin How.

I lived in 1 Rockcliffe View Carlin How, from about 1946 to 1952, then my father retired and we then moved to Loftus. My father was Jim Conway the Police Constable. I went to Skinningrove Senior School, was in the choir of St Helen's, Mr Cox was the choir master. I remember a few of the people I knew in those days; Jean McLean, Thelma Peel, Brian Rodgers, Peter Libby and Harry Thirsk to mention a few. I have seen Mary Lightfoot on several occasions, as we both lived in the Richmond area at one time. I remember the iron ore crusher which was at the back of our houses, covering everywhere in iron ore dust, and washing becoming red if hung out when the wind blew the dust over. I remember all the Steelworks employees walking past our house. As it was double summertime in those days I could sit in the bedroom window and watch the people and fishermen on Skinningrove beach at 10 o'clock at night.
