Early Memories
A Memory of Great Ouseburn.
Two of the trees either side of the footpath were planted by me in, I believe, 1953.
My family lived in the village and surrounding villages for many years. My Grandparents and subsequently my Aunt & Uncle lived and operated the Toll Gates at Aldwark Bridge, just outside the village. My mother lived on Carr Side in her early life. I moved to the village in 1951, leaving in 1961 but my parents lived there until my mother's death in 1997. They are both buried in the local Churchyard. I attended the village school before going on to King James's Grammar School in Knaresborough in 1953. My two brothers also went to the same schools . My Mother went to King James's many years earlier.

Hi Paul,
