My Family

My name is Phillip Robinson. My parents Tom & Eileen lived in Priory View, East Harlsey, in the late 60's. My uncle Charles Derrick McGookin has a plaque inside the village church dedicated to him. My grandparents from Robinson and McGookin are buried in the churchyard.

I also remember the landlady from the Cat & Bagpipes, which I believe to be the only public house named this in the country!

I now live in Darlington, however often return to the village to visit the area and the church.

Memories

I was born in East Harlsey in 1946 and was educated in the village school which of course is now a private house, or is it two.  I remember there being two classrooms and, if my memory is correct, the teacher was a Mrs Lyle??   I seem to remember we called her "jam pot".  At that time the shop was run by a Mrs Topham, not sure of the spelling.

Childhood

My Great Aunt stayed in Holly Garth and we visited her frequently as children during the 1970's early 80's, I have many, many happy memories of times spent in the beck, herding ducks and Suggit's ice cream, the best on the planet. We spent many hours walking up High Street to the High Green, walking up to Captain Cook's Monument and up Roseberry. My Gran (Laura Armstrong as was) and Grampa used to take us down, they are now 90 and 89 respectively but I believe still have relatives in the village. I would love to bring my son down but we haven't managed it yet, hopefully soon. Ann Harrison, Mauchline, Ayrshire, Scotland

My childhood memories

The first house in Waterfall Terrace is where my grandparents lived for many decades. John and Ann Scott. I love that place.
