North Yorkshire memories

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.
My grandmother was the caretaker of the village hall as she was for about 25yr
and as a child I remember playing in the hall and on the back lawn.  I often helped my gran clean which was great fun.  Polishing the dance floor and dashing through from the house with ...read more here

South Parade

Northallerton, North End c1960

I was born in Northallerton in 1952. My father was a cousin of the Smirthwaites and therefore worked in the garage that was once where Argos now stands. My mothers family were Atkinson's and they lived in South Parade. There were 6 children in the family (2 girls and 4 boys). They lived there during WW11 and my mother has fond memories of the time she spent in that house.  Her parents were McCabes and lived in the Nags Head Yard. Two aunts had the 2 little houses next to The Nags Head. One is now a clothes shop and the other one has been knocked down to accommodate the roundabout. I went to Mill Hill School and was very happy ...read more here

Extracts From Ingleby Arncliffe & North Yorkshire books

Ilkley, Cow and Calf Rocks 1921

It is well worth the effort to climb up these rocks: you’re on top of the world, if a little weary and overheated. Luckily, just below refreshments are to hand at the Cow and Calf Inn, formerly known as the Highfield.
An extract from from"Ilkley Town and City Memories".

Ilkley, view of Swastika Stone 1914

In this photograph you can see the top of the Semon Convalescent Home just beyond the reservoir. A fair walk westwards then brings you to the Swastika Stone, which is unique in this country. Other examples have been found in Tossene in Sweden and Mycenae in Greece and all depict fertility and religious symbols. The council placed the iron railing around the site in 1913.

Ilkley, the Moors 1914

Up above the Cow and Calf rocks is more evidence of quarrying, but in this photograph the heather softens the scene for the Edwardian picnickers taking in the valley view, top right.

Ilkley, Denton Park from the Cow and Calf Rocks 1914

This young man looks out from between these famous rocks towards the magnificent estate of Denton Park.

Ilkley, the Moors 1914

Behind the Cow and Calf rocks is this desolate valley from where most of the stone to build the town was quarried. Hangingstone Quarry was the site of a huge enterprise that saw the destruction of the giant Bull Rock. The massive rocks were taken down Cowpasture Road to stone breaking yards around Ash Grove.
