I Lived In Little Weighton

A Memory of Little Weighton.

I lived in Little Weighton many years ago.  My grandparents lived in Little Weighton. They were called Albert and Nellie Wright, who had a paper round for a business, and my other gran named Millie Shirtcliffe. They lived up New Village Road where my brother Chris lives now.
I was christened at Rowley Church and my grandparents are buried there. I have some lovely memories of Little Weighton and the area. I remember the trains at Little Weighton. Also the dog training between my grandparents houses in New Village Road.
Does anybody remember me?
I also remember the Police House and a house near there that used to sell ice cream through a small window, also the doctors being in the village hall.
My grandmother used to be married to Jack Shirtcliffe and Millie Shircliffe used to work as a postwoman and had a small shed behind the shop where she used to sort out the mail.
I used to live on new village road on the bend in a small cottage which has now gone. I remember a lot of small made-up accomodations made from trams etc and a woman having a lot of cats living opposite my grandparents. I forget her name now. I remember a person called Linda Waddingham, and as kids used to play on the land my grandparents owned as well as driving cars on the same land as kids. I also remember Mrs Shipley,she bought my grandmother's land and built a house on it
Anyway. lots of memories.
