BOROUGHBRIDGE: Harrogate Parish #50 of 139
HARROGATE PARISH #50: BOROUGHBRIDGE
Boroughbridge - “Fort Bridge”
Next up in the Harrogate series we have Boroughbridge - the small town that we’ve been talking so much about over the past few episodes. Take everything you already know about the town from those videos and keep it handy in your mind, because at various points throughout this video we will be referencing some bits.
Borougbridge was an important staging post on the Great North Road. Although it’s the main settlement with the parish of the same name, Boroughbridge’s historical importance is second to the village just East of the town. That would be Aldborough - a principal settlement during the Roman period, once known as Isuri...

HARROGATE PARISH #49 OF 139: ELLENTHORPE Ellenthorpe - “Atheling’s Farm” Ok everyone, here’s one that’s going to be a challenge. This is Ellenthorpe, which is located on the Northern bank of the River Ure. It’s a challenge because there’s really nothing to film out here. The parish has just one public road - and this is it. Even then, it’s a dead end, because it runs into two farm tracks which ...

    Aldborough used to be lovely. On the edge of the village green, it had a post office in one half of a Georgian house. Run by Mrs Mudd, her family made butter, in the past, and won awards for their butter flowers. See the Nidderdale museum for photos.

    Great to see my old home town. Interesting to see the apparent correct name for the passage ways. The one from Lairgate to Town being Briggs’ passage, due to ( now gone) Briggs and Powell TV and electricals shop and the passage down the side of what was Woolworths as Woolies passage. Yes it was a sad time once Tescos got the go ahead, Beverley changed radically from that point, losing our cattle market,although changed started with the building of model farm. Great series of Videos, always enjoy pointing out “ I ve been there !” .

    A fantastic achievement to visit all 171 parishes in the county that i live in. Have still got quite a lot of the early ones to watch as i didn't start watching the series until the Kirkburn episode. Beverley is a great place to visit with its shopping, markets, two great churches (St Mary's & Minster) and the Westwood with its racecourse, golf course & Black Mill.

      @@TheVillageIdiot Bless you. I've kept one of you employed during the last few weeks from my spending spree on Ebay. Have you thought of trying to combine your skills of presenting, historical/local knowledge and filming skills and contacting local radio stations or BBC local news or ITV or Notts TV and seeing if you could maybe get some exposure there? I think that you'd soon get some experience, maybe having to do a bit of volunteering, buy you're still reasonably young and you never know what might come of it. Best of luck chuck and you have to start somewhere. Like George Benson sang about 'Never Give Up On A Good Thing, Remember What Makes You Happy!

    Hi Andy, I have family who live in Ollerton. I moved away during the pit strike back in 1984. We still visit but not as offtern as I would like. My Parent's got married at the church in the circle in December 1963 but sadly no longer with us now. I went to the Whinney lane infants school and then onto Dukeried Comprehensive. Which had a farm and tennis courts and a athletics track and about 4 football pitches and the indoorswimming pool . Back then I didn't relied how lucky we we're to have these faculties. My Grand parents lived on Oak Avenue which was 2 minute walk from the high street.

    Great video, we used to live in Sibsey so familiar with all the places in your video. I know you can't include all locations in a village but there's a lane called 'Goosemuck Lane' (off Littlemoors) which once had some press coverage for being one of the worst street names in England. It was where geese were herded/held before going to the Nottingham Goose Fair. Thanks for the tour, it brought back some fond memories.
