Nostalgic memories of West Marton's local history

Share your own memories of West Marton and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was born in 1951 in the first house on the right number 7 and grew up in the village. My parents were farmers and I lived at the house with them, my sister Barbara and my brother Christopher. We all went to Marton School, as did my mother. Fabulous village and a fantastic era to be a child.
I have found something that relates to the marriage of my grandparents' wedding on 16th Oct 1900. On the botton it says West Marton so I assume that they were married there in St Peter's Church. I know they had the first 2 of their 10 children there before moving to Escrick near York. But I would love to know where they lived in West Marton. Their names were Francis Edward Digweed and Violet Richardson.
