Nostalgic memories of Green Hammerton's local history

Share your own memories of Green Hammerton 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.

Bay Horse Pub.

I remember sitting on this wall taking car numbers and having an ice cream from the booth situated in the area to the side of the pub. Also the fish and chip shop. The ice-cream booth blew away in a storm and was never seen again. There were steps up to the side area where the gap in the wall is. There were also steps up to the area round the corner in the right where New Lane begins. I was born in Green Hammerton and I still live here.

Local Police Constable

Don't know much about my g g Grandfather, Richard Whitaker, other than he lived in Green Hammerton with his second wife Emily Armstrong. He was the village copper, with three children from a previous marriage and I think another four with a new wife; one Harry (my great grandfather) and three sisters, May, Nelly and Emma. If anyone knows of where I may get some information about them, the village, or where I will find Police Constables information, please pass it on...kind regards Julie

War Years

The Tucker family were evacuated to Green Hammerton from 1940 - 1942. My brother John lived with Mr & Mrs Blackburn and my sister lived with Mrs Wray at the post office. They are both alive and still keep in contact with one of the village residents whom I shall be visiting this September.
