There are quite a few new photos taken
by Lindsey Devons (Harrison 1969-73) April 2002, including
this nice one of Cook's Monument with Roseberry in the background. |

Not far from Cook's Monument one can
see Ayton Village spread out far below - a sight many will
remember, especially when they realised they had too little
time to get back to School for Tea! Photo - Lindsey Devons

Roseberry
Topping - from the path up to Cook's Monument. Photo taken
in 1989.
New
good quality photos of Roseberry are always welcome - this
is now a view on can tire of easily.

Roseberry
Topping - photographed by William Pine in January 2006 from just outside Great Broughton. A bit of winter to contrast the late summer sunshine from the photo above. |
 |
| Another winter photograph from William Pine taken at the same time and place as the one above. Who from School doesn't remember the snow this deep, getting wet and no where to dry things out? |
If
you walk up Station Road and past the Station you come to
the White Cottages pictured here. If memory serve correctly
these cottages played host to John Wesley mid 18th Century.

This is for those who walked - in convoy - to Ayton
Station at the end of term; sadly a shadow of its former LNER
splendour!
How could anyone replace the beautiful original Victorian station with a recycled bus shelter?
The
photo below gives an idea of what it used to be like.

This photo of Ayton Station turned up
in the Archives. It was probably taken in the early 1900s and
depicts a group of Ayton scholars, together with a number of
adults, waiting for a train so it must have been end of
term.
What a difference in the station
building! The railway came to Ayton for passenger traffic in
1868 and it was a busy station with many Ayton village
residents commuting into Middlesbrough. |
