Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October 2009 became Friday 16th, Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October 1943.

This last weekend we tried to get to Pickering in North Yorkshire as they had a WWII day with people dressing up in uniforms and clothes from the 1940’s. The weekend event was well publicized on TV and, as a result, it proved impossible to park anywhere near the town. The closest park we could find was a field charging £5. We declined. A further disappointment was that the road to Whitby...

... well half one! Not much stitching got done this weekend. The progress on 'Open House' was achieved on a long car journey on Friday afternoon. We were off to Pickering in North Yorkshire, one end of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. This weekend no train travel was involved. We were attending a carriage restorers convention. Although I own a carriage myself I'm not really in to fixing them, until...

The fair was huge and there were all sorts of things on display – steam engines, fairground organs, vintage cars. There were also funfair rides and little sideshows for entertainment. We had finished walking round...

While it is good that you were encouraging readers to enjoy a "Great British Walk", it is very disappointing that you have not selected walks easily accessible by public transport. Worse still are disparaging comments regarding the availability of buses. Hole of Horcum (10 June) has a daily bus service from both Malton and Pickering and also daily buses from Leeds, York and Whitby; Sparsholt...

With significant opposition to US Missile Defence across Europe, the proposed bases in Poland and the Czech Republic may never be built. Around 70% of Czech citizens oppose the base and in Poland this stands at 53%. Here in the UK we have Menwith Hill and Fylingdales involved in US Missile Defence. Why was the U.S. so interested in developing the system at Fylingdales? RAF Fylingdales is one of the...

Beacon Hill siege castle Pickering North Yorkshire It is suggested by many historians that this low scarped mound, some 500 yards to the West of Pickering castle, is in fact a siege castle, not a ‘motte’ as marked on the Ordnance Survey map. Visible from the South Gatehouse of the castle, and also from the summit of Pickering Castle’s 20 metre high motte, the earthworks are visible...

Spire View stands as an example of ingenuity at every stage of its creation: even the name of this development of 15 homes in the North Yorkshire market town of Pickering represents a clever way out of a problem.
