Grandma's Guest House.
A Memory of Scarborough.
My husband Chistopher John Hill was born in Scarborough.
His Grandma, Mary Gloyne, ran a small Guest House there 61 Ramsey Street, after her husband, Percy Gloyne, was killed two days before the end of World War 1. She brought her young daughter Agnes up there.
Agnes met a young soldier on her train journeys to work in York, they courted in Scarborough mostly at a Church Hall.
They married in Scarborough Church and had their reception at Boyas Cafe.
Chris and his sister Elizabeth spent their summer holidays at Grandma's house with their Mum & Dad. Many hours were spent on the beach and in the Open Air Swimming pool, as well as in Peasholm Park.
Going back to Scarborough on holiday is like going home for the family!
Best wishes Margaret Hill 😊
