More about this scene
Virtually joined to Thirsk even fifty years ago, Sowerby was the home of the wealthy, with Sowerby House off to the left, and de Mowbray House at the far end of The Avenue. The police station, hospital, baths and school for Thirsk were actually in Sowerby. These lime trees still add colour to the scene.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
This picture evokes happy memories of the village where I was born and lived for the first twenty two years of my life. I have visited it often over the past forty years whenever I was in Yorkshire, and I still find it a lovely place to be. Maybe it has become just a little too pristine, and unfortunately not improved by the many cars which line its avenue.
