I love checking this site out just to remind myself where I was born 47 years ago. I also see that my uncle Dave signed this. This site brings back memories, especialy the downtown pics. it hasn't changed much from what I remember

I am trying to find one of my relatives who lived in Driffield, His name is Barry Greenlaw. He has retired recently and I would like to reconnect with my cousin. I visited Driffield in 1966 and found it to be a wonderful friendly community and hope someone reading this could help me. Thank you in advance

Well nearly a year on from my last posting we now have a base in Driffield and come up as often as possible.
Trying to get my 16 year old daughter interested in the Yorkshire life - does anyone have any tips as to what sort of nightlife I can suggest to her? I haven''t found anything obvious in Driffield but I'm sure there must be some trendy pubs/clubs somewhere?

Hi am James from Norwich,, I have a connection with driffield and also pocklington, my great grandmother Mary Jane House was daughter of the station master in Driffield.
In the 1871 and 1881 census he that is I think Thomas House, I am not sure off the top of my head was at Pocklington station just to the East of York and in the 1891 and 1901 census he is shown as being the station master when it was Great Driffield.
I intend to visit Driffield sometime even if it is to only visit the station where I am hoping u might have info on the man.
Many thanks

Margaret, Thanks for your post regarding our dads, I appreciate it. What was your dad's first name? I'll have to ask my mom if she remembers him. You said you have a photo of them...from which year? Any chance you could scan a copy and email it to me?

The quietness and beauty of the Wolds
is magic in retirement. I wish I could
find a property in east yorkshire.
I've had enough of the buzz of city
living. The churchyard in Fridaythorpe
is well kept, and the view is
wonderful! I like cutting grass.
What else can I say, other than Im
still looking. Sincerely. Bill.
