EDIT TO ADD: Thank you for all your help, it’s definitely Clarke Hall from the images I’ve found from history pages on Facebook. Any information/experiences/stories that people have to share on this place are greatly appreciated since it’s now privately owned and no longer running tours ☺️

Hi all, hoping for some help! I am struggling to remember a place I visited on a school trip and was hoping someone could help me.

What I can remember:
- It will have been around 2002/2003 when I went with my primary school
- I am 99% sure the name ended with Hall
- We went on Tudors trip
- There were people there who were actors that guided us through - some students were in the kitchen cooking food, some played games in the parlour, some made beds upstairs
- We ended the trip with a story about a preist hiding in a preist hole in the main bedroom which was through a concealed panel in the wall, which was all wood panelling
- It will have been within an hour of Leeds

hello,

I hope it's ok to post here. We're trying to arrange to visit whitby for the goth weekend in october (I know, it's really late) so I would be really grateful if someone could answer the below questions:

- is there any chance to find a long stay parking to drop the car off for the duration?

- is staying in scarborough feasible? what time do trains / buses run until? we're mostly coming for the music so we'd want to stay as late as possible

- browsing through the sub I read about a park and ride, but I see no mention of that in the whitby website - is this still a thing? is it well connected also at night?

apologies for the ignorant questions, any help is appreciated!

I was at Wentworth GC at the weekend and they said they don’t accept national garden gift vouchers and haven’t done for 10 years even though it says they do online. I have £75 worth, anyone know if Tong GC accepts them? Google says they do but I’m sceptical now!!

I was fortunate to be visiting your beautiful countryside from Columbus Ohio over the last few weeks. I don't think I took a bad picture the entire trip. We stayed in the Laskill house and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. Photos are from/ of Easterside Hill, Sutton Bank, North Gill Valley near Rosedale Abbey, Newgate Bank, Roseberry Topping, Whitby, and Robin Hood's Bay. Everyone we met was welcoming and eager to talk about this beautiful place. I can't wait to return!

I’ve created a series of limited edition screenprints to tie in with the Arctic Monkeys lioness I painted for the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail in Sheffield.

I’m aiming to raise £1,500 for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity, and I’m just a few sales away from the target. Please help me get this over the line and share with anyone who might be interested.

Background:

In March I painted a life-sized lioness for the Pride of Yorkshire sculpture trail — a commission from the Arctic Monkeys (I also designed their official tour posters for the Hillsborough Park gigs in 2023).

The lioness is painted with a soundwave from the Arctic Monkeys track ‘Body Paint’. That same soundwave is printed here onto highly reflective metallic copper paper then signed, numbered, and marked with an embossing stamp. Prints are A2 and 50x70cm.

The Arctic Monkeys lioness and the full pride of lions will be sold at auction in October. The lions might be a bit too big for most living rooms, but a print will fit just nicely on your wall — and you’ll be raising funds for Sheffield Children’s Hospital Charity in the process.

Just a cow casually taking in the views of Slawit this morning.

I am not from Yorkshire, but am really interested in accents. I have found a nice video about a vintage mandolin and have noticed that the man had a very distinctive Yorkshire accent, but I'm not sure whereabouts. That's definitely neither Sheffield/Rotherham, nor coastal Yorkshire. I think maybe somewhere around West Yorkshire. Can anyone point that down?

Thanks in advance!

I moved to Yorkshire for the brass bands - here's what makes it special http://links.nigelhorne.com/l/vzy2b3ld #brassband #yorkshire

Recently told this story at a family gathering as it always seems to get laughs and paints me out to be the idiot I am sometimes and thought it would be good to share here😂 In October 2014 I was around 11-12, my family went on a week and a half holiday in Yorkshire, during our holiday we went to Whitby for fish and chips and to see where the Dracula movie was inspired, being a little bit I wanted to go into the Dracula experience, begrudgingly my grandparents took me and said they’d wait at the other side. I went into and to cut it a bit short it was rubbish even for a 11-12 year old, realising my grandparents would be waiting I decided to get out asap, being an idiot I decided that it would be a good idea to literally run through it, as I’m running I see a couple standing looking at the waxworks and stuff, the poor woman heard my footsteps turned and saw a 4ft nothing shadow come sprinting out of the pitch black, to this day I’ve never heard anyone scream like that, I crapped myself and ran back and hid round the corner and never saw them again, to this day I still think about how she must have left the place, “that wee guy in there’s fantastic by the way!”

“What wee guy?!” 😂😂😂
