More about this scene

The quiet village of Hillam lies just to the south of Monk Fryston, with its old Manor House, now a popular hotel and restaurant. The imposing Hillam Hall was built between 1827 and 1835, and this, the Dower House for the widow of the lord of the manor, is now a charming guest house.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was a pupil at Rose Lea School and have happy memories of my time there. Mr and Mrs Meredith were indeed lovely people and shaped my life. It was a rather privileged education with Shakespeare, poetry and music an important element, along with (very progressive for the times) cricket! I was devastated when the school closed and my education suffered afterwards. My name was Pamela Weston before I was married; I wonder if there are many of us left.
As Steven had started school, I went to work at a young ladies school at Hillam, run by Mr & Mrs Meredith. They had five little boys and I looked after the younger ones as she was the French teacher and Mr. Meredith was the Head Master. Steven would go to play with the boys, they had a room full of trains so he had a lovely time with them. They took him on holiday with them one year, they were very nice people.
