Hiya all, Thanks for cotinuing with your replies to my thread. Just bee catching up on last few to post here. Pussycat, Sculcoats? I am having a mental block, can you just remind me where that is? James from Bristol, Surely you are'nt refering to the 'Harwoods of Harwood House'?. You are almost royalty if you are decended from them. LOL. Also Goathland, Great place. For those who dont know thats where 'Heartbeat' was filmed as well as Whitby. Sue in Otley, Must have passed at least one of your stalls at York FHF. LoL. Hi Patricia, Blimey!!! You lived just about everwhere in Yorkshire. Most of them only a few miles from me. Linda, Sheffield!!!! Used to do alot of walking around Sheffield on the moors etc and Snake Pass. Also (already mentioned) Meadowhall Shopping centre. LL

I was born in Yorkshire(Sheffield) and moved away 24yrs ago to live in London,. Now live just outside Gt Yarmouth and I wouldn't move anywhere else now, but I still consider myself a good old Yorkshire Lass, even though I no longer have my accent Lindax.

Garforth, Halifax, Bradford, Pudsey, Huddersfield, leeds, Bridlington, Silsden, Guiseley, Horsforth and now here lol often thought should have bought a caravan when first married lol am not moving again lol love Patricia xx

There was a crowd of us at York FHF. Jan from York Jeanette from Hull Area Gem from Wakefield Jenny(Mommylonglegs) Dawn from York and Myself. Gr stall wasn't there,goodness knows what happened to them,they should have been on the second floor in the corner but they still haven't let us know why they didn't turn up even though I put a thread up. Sue

if its family roots that count my main line of Harwoods come from the area north of York. mainly the North/East Riding border. Kirby Underdale Kirby Grindalhythe, Kirkby Moorside, and to be different Goathland. So we are a Yorkshire family that emigrated to london and then west. I hope to get up there this Summer to see some of the original docs. Jim

me great granny was born sculocoats does that qualify thankyou for your messages xxx

Going for tea now. Please feel free to add or nudge and wil read replies later tonight or tomorrow. LL

LL. If i had felt any fear from it i would have been out of there like a rocket. LOL!!!!! Vanessa

Another suposed 'Haunted 'place is Temple Newsam House, But then again what big old House/mansion isn't haunted (supposedly. LOL Venessa you are brave I'm afraid I would have been out that theatre in a shot. LL

Hi all. What about the GREY LADY in the theartre Royal? And i beleive that the Grand theartre is haunted by someone. I was there one night watch Keith Charles, the ghost hunting detective. I kept seeing a dark shadow pass me as i sat in my aisle. I thought i was imagining it but it was constant all evening. Strange thing was i didn`t feel frightened at all! Vanessa

Hi Janet, I have never been to one before. It was £3 each to get in and was so packed ( it was a hot day) couldn't get nr half the stalls. I was glad to get out for some air. Never even saw GR stand. Didn't know it was there til I had come out, and saw it on a piece of paper I had picked up. LL

Yep, 'Fraid all hauntings in and around York (and there are lots) are mainly soldiers and monks. Don't want to start a believer or none believer thread but me and hubby saw a monk (ghost) just past Stamford Bridge going towards Leeds quite a few years ago. Not seen owt since tho. LL
