Pear Tree House Skeeby
After living in Richmond I bought and renovated Pear Tree House (on the right of this 1913 picture) in 1972. The previous occupants had died when I found the house it was covered in ivy and I understand at one time Funeral directors operated from the property.
It took eighteen months to renovate PTH into a double fronted Georgian Bay home. PTH had no foundation at the rear of the property, built straight onto the ground it stood on, under pinning with new foundations was required.

Childhood memories.
I have many happy memories of Melsonby as I visited regularly until the 1980's. My father's family (Healey) were from Melsonby and my aunt was a teacher at the C of E school for many years. My father and most of his family are buried in the churchyard in the picture. The right-hand cottage belonged to the Rennison family and as a child no visit to Melsonby was complete without a visit to them.
Although only 22 miles from Middlesbrough where I lived it took 2 and a half hours to get to Melsonby and 3 different buses.

Pubs in Whashton
The Hack a Spade Inn (what does the name refer to?) used to be owned by Thomas Frankland, how long was he runing the pub for?
Bay Horse Inn used to be owned by Thomas Heslop, according to some web sites on the net. I have the landlord listed from the national census as Thomas Alsop, how long was he the landlord?

Richmond Grammar School
I went to Richmond Grammar from 1963 to 1969. I left the area shortly after that and have only recently returned to North Yorkshire. I'm currently trying to get in touch with many of my old school friends. It's great to see this picture!
