For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Catterick

The cinema was managed by my paternal Grandfather. He was Harold Patterson. Married to Dot Patterson.
They had two sons Brian (my dad), and Donald *. This is where my mum and dad met, mum worked there as an usher.

I visited Catterick Camp in 1954 as a member of a visiting shooting team from 35 base workshops R.E.M.E. During breaks we used visit a house near the range where the lady of the house, known as Ma, would sell us mugs of tea and wonderful home made apple pie. Has anyone else have memories of this lady?
