Grand Central Railway 11/12th June 2011
The East Yorks Living History Group attended the Grand Central Railway event on the weekend of the 11/12th June 2011. There were plenty of the public in attendance on the Saturday but the weather on Sunday reduced numbers somewhat. However, the group still had much interest in the display and Darren was kept busy giving talks. Here is a selection of photos with a link to more, provided by Michael.
Haworth May 15/16 2011
Corporal Lycett has provided a few pictures from the Haworth weekend, reporting that is was a somewhat colourful and exotic procession this year, if I may paraphrase him. The highlights however were the appearance of Vincent White's family and the very amusing and handsome Mr Hunter.
Ryedale Folk Museum, Easter 2011
The group had a great Easter weekend at Ryedale Folk Museum, Hutton le Hole. The weather was very hot and sunny (apart from 1 hour on Saturday night where we had thunder and lightning and hailstones the size of marbles!!!)
There was a fantastic turn out and the group was joined by the Haworth Home Guard Army Catering Corps and a contingent of civies including Land Army, WVS, Civil Defence and the woman from the ministry, promoting the virtues of offal! It wouldn't have been easter without chicks and chocolate (unfortunatly the chocolate was on ration!)
The group received briefings from the Inteligence officer on the 'enemy' and the RAF we're promoting Wings for Victory. Private Hancock was very generous and 'donated' his months wages to the appeal. Here are some photos of the event provided by Christine.
