Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Grassington School 1914. Part 1.

Thanks for the replies. I certainly remember the Grassington bus from Skipton - I was invariably dropped off between the quarry and the river as I was a very bad traveller, and rarely made it as far as the bus station! My Grandparents were called Nauwelaers and had moved to Grassington from Bradford in the '30's or '40's. They had to leave Far Meadows when my Grandfather died around 1950 and the family then moved to Town Head. The other surname I remember from my brief time at the school was Patrick - one of the boys broke my teddy bear - mazing what you remember  :-[.  Craven

 I found this site whilst I was searching for information on Raines Lane, and wondered if anyone could help me date the house at the far end, called Far Meadows?  My grandparents lived there in the 1940's and I understand it was 'old' then. I spent at least one holiday a year in Grassington between the 1950's and the 1970's and some of the family names in the photos are familiar - Harker / Pattinson / Jaques etc.  I attended the village school briefly in the mid '50's.
Was the Doctor who lived in The Ridge called Digby? Not sure if that was his Christian or surname.
