Our Society has been carrying out archaeological work and surveys in Brompton by Sawdon over the last few years. On this wet Saturday we thought you would enjoy a film from the Yorkshire Film Archives that shows Brompton in sunnier days in 1946. There some familiar views together with excursions to Rosedale and Scarborough.

Made by amateur filmmakers Betty & Cyril Ramsden it is a lovely record of that time.

It's true, we are closing on Monday 6th ! You might have heard the rumours....It has been a challenging time with temporary lights, power cuts and water leaks and of course very low takings, we decided, enough is enough.
We will miss everyone who has supported us over the last 6 years, those we now call friends and those we have lost. Thank you. ❤️
We'll still be around and actually have a secret plan to hopefully reappear locally in the near future, so you haven't got rid of us completely !! Keep a watch out and when we find out more I'll pop it on this page.
Here today until 4pm, if you can find us through the traffic. Then TOMORROW SUNDAY we will hopefully open at MIDDAY as they are turning off the power for a few hours. Then back in MONDAY 10-4.
We have loads of books to clear and a few book cases if anyone wants any. We have the usual coffee, tea, hot chocolate and sweet treats including my award winning flapjack ! 😁

A massive book sale is now on, loads to choose from novels, biographies, Doctor Who, crime, thrillers, cooking , classics...If you have a holiday property why not put some books in there for your guests, lovely on a cold evening with a roaring fire. Come and have a look and we can help put a collection together.
