Throxenby Hall

A Memory of Scarborough.

Throxenby Hall was a community home, I had the best years of my childhood there, I was there from 1969-74. All the staff were great, I had so much fun. I went to Newby Juniors before moving up to Scalby School, a very good school. Throxenby Hall had a sloping field with a football pitch, the slope made it difficult to play football but we had fun trying. The grounds had loads of tree houses and ropes to swing on as well as an outdoor swimming pool. I remember the cellar, playing loud music, the activity house where the upstairs had a huge model train set that went through two rooms, the place was huge. Even had a big orchard where you could pick apples, plums and goose gogs, all the kids were well cared for, a brilliant place to live when you were young.
