Does anyone remember Nether Poppleton in the late forties?
I am Angela Watson (nee Piers).  I lived in Nether Poppleton as a small child from 1947 - 1950.  We lived in a house in the middle of the village called Bankside.  There was an enormous tree in the middle of the road where the bus used to turn round.  I remember Miss Gains who lived in a cottage opposite, Mrs Dibbs over to the right, Mr and Mrs Fountain who owned the farm next to us and the Hillyards lived up a long drive beside our house. My best friend was Pat Tomlinson who lived at "Water Willows" just beyond what was then The Fox Inn.  

Mr Brown was the Vicar.  I went to Sunday School in the village hall which was run by a Miss Coates who was one of three sisters from Upper Poppleton known as The Three Miss Coates!  I remember enormous floods from the river between Upper and Nether Poppleton.  The Post Office was an old railway carriage up the road past the village hall.  The village shop  was run by Mr Brown and was a sort of shed up some steep steps down on the right towards the river.  The Clarkes lived down there - Norah was the mother and she had Judith and Susan.  I had a friend called Raymond Hayes who had a squint and wore glasses.   My father taught at St Peters York.  Olwyn Pinder used to take us children for pony and trap rides I remember.  
Is there anyone out there from that era?! Angela's email address is petang.watson@ukonline.co.uk
