The Stores was run by the redoubtable Joe Holmes who was in fierce competition with Chris Lewin down the lane at the Post Office. In summer the price of local tomatoes reached bargain levels!

Yealand Redmayne & local memories

Read and share memories of Yealand Redmayne and Lancashire inspired by Frith photos.

Yealand, A Beautiful Village

I lived in Yealand from 1947-52 when I came here to New Zealand with friends at the age of 17. Having little educaton and the war years I decided to come to New Zealand to farm.
I attended the Yealand school and then left to work for John Wilson on his farm. Those years are most memorable and I have fond memories of them. It is a beautifull village. I believe there are not so many farms operationable there these days. I also knew Saria Butler, mentioned in another person's memories, who lived at Manor farm. I knew the Grays at Old Hall who also came to New Zealand. I live and have farmed in the North Island of New Zealand where I met my wife and farmed at Rongotea.
