Pony Holiday At Eagle Hall
I remember staying at Eagle Hall in the early 70's on a pony trekking holiday with my friend. It was a fantastic place for pony mad girls! I remember the lady who owned it was Barbara Edward and she had two lively daughters who took out the rides. I think one was called Vicky but obviously it's a long time ago! Lovely to see this photo. Came upon it while looking for the walk that passes Eagle Hall and loops round through caravan park.

Pateley Bridge, 1955
This view shows the old North Eastern Railway Station at Pateley Bridge, this line from Harrogate, opened in May 1862 and closed to passengers in March 1951, just three years before we went to live in Pateley Bridge, however there was a pick up goods service until 1964.

Station Square, Pateley Bridge 1955

Pateley Bridge High Street 1954
Oh how this takes me back almost 60 years! I came to live in Pateley Bridge in September 1954, as a seven year old, my father had taken up the post of village policeman, PC 906 Goulding, and together with my mother we lived in Pateley Bridge for close on 9 years and this is just how I remember the High Street at that time, how streets looked much wider as a child!

Childhod Memories.
I visited Eagle Hall as a child, my grandfather, Mr GB Edward, and his wife bought the Hall in a fairly run down condition. I have memories of horse riding around the grounds swimming in one of the lakes, and of how derelict much of the house was. Unfortunately my grandfather did not really have the money to undertake the necessary renovations and I think that Eagle Hall was probably in as bad a condition ...see more
