Sir, – Does anyone remember hutments in Guisborough or Stokesley which were occupied by the Women's Land Army? There is casual mention of them in articles but there appears to be no further information. Does anyone know anything about the Land Army at Crayke Castle, Dishforth, Thirsk or Catterick? Does anyone know if there was a hostel at Aldborough near Piercebridge? Do you have any photos of the hostels or social life around the hostels in Yorkshire?
I am writing a book about the WLA hostels in Yorkshire and I need some further information.
If anyone has any information about other hostels in Yorkshire please contact Mrs Marion Jefferies, Stockton House, 105 The Village, Stockton on Forest, York, YO32 9UP or telephone 01904 400217.
