Not far from Pocklington is Wilberfoss, once a home to the ancestors of the slave emancipator, William Wilberforce. Here past the beck is Bridge Cottage on the right, and hidden behind the left-hand tree is the 12th-century church of St John the Baptist.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Lived here in the 60's, went to school at Pocklibgton, and eventually ended up working at Cooke Throughton & Simms in York. Can remember some of the names, and now have lived in Cape Town for the past 40 years.
