Fascinating, thank you

I live in Scotby and it's a wonderful village. Finding out about its past has been really interesting - thank you for putting this together.

I wondered if you know anything about the Quaker burial site on Broomfallen road. It's in a woodland near Ladysteps. It's mentioned online but only briefly. Many thanks for a great film!

Good evening Stephen we are moving to Scotby next month and found you talk very interesting. We are moving to the private road named "Ladysteps" previously known as "Midland Road" named after the railway. I have been trying to find out why it was changed to "Ladysteps". Can you shine any light on this, I have searched on line with no success.

I dont know the answer to that but I Do know that it is the site of the old quaker graveyard.

In addition to the books mentioned at the end of the video here, there is also a book written by the former headmaster of scotby Village school that documents the history of both the school and the surrounding village, its name and the name of the author escapes me, but I have it somewhere.
