My Father, Harry Hodge, was born in 1909 and lived at 26 Bilton Street in York. I just learned the address. Other relatives lived there too and their last names were Shorrock. Nine of the Hodges/Shorrocks moved to the USA in 1920.

My great grandad, John (Jack, Jackie) Neale moved to 29 Bilton St in 1910 with his family. He moved to 54 Redeness st in 1913 after he married Alice Elizabeth Craven. He worked in gum starch at Rowntree’s from June 1903 to 26 May 1954

My father, Dennis Durkin is 92. He was born at No 58 Layerthorpe. His parents were Martin and Dorothy. He lived there until he joined the forces (he was a Chindit). After the war he married my mother and they lived at 31 and then 27 Redeness Street. Myself, as the first of their four daughters, attended Bilton Street School. I left in 1956/7 when it closed. I have heard him mention the name Chipchase. Roughly the same age, their paths will have crossed most definitely.

My father in law – Lawrence Chipchase was born at 54 Bilton Street he is now 90 year old – he has read all the comments and found them fascinating – it was lovely to hear all the names and enjoy the comments from his childhood – Keith Jones is his nephew and is still in touch with him. It would be nice to hear from other old residents of Bilton Street.

After reading a lot of these wonderful comments of my birthplace, I feel compelled to join in and mention what I remember of Bilton St/ Redness St, Downhill St and of course Layerthorpe itself.I was born in no 54 Bilton St in 1941 and had an older brother and sister, Tony and Alma. Our mother was a war widow and brought us up by doing what countless thousands of other mothers did Post War.In the two up and two down terraced house lived my Gran Florence (Florrie)Chipchase her two sons Freddie and Lawrence (Fred and Lol)my Mum Doris (Dot) My brother Tony And Me. Our sister Alma was brought up by our Great Grandmother Francis Chipchase who lived on Layerthorpe opposite Ginny Wilson,s second hand shop with Mrs miller,s little shop next door. I often went in for half a gill of milk out of the churn. Many of the people I have read about so far are ex playmates, school pals and general pals larking about on the playgee!!!The memories seem like only a while ago dont they.I will join the site again when nostalgia becomes reality, so until then, take care to all the old Layerthorpe residents. Keith.
