I READ with great interest the article written by Matt Clark (The Press, February 13) with regard to the Red Lodge in New Earswick. My memory takes me back to my days of being brought up in New Earswick from the age of five in 1933.
The Red Lodge was, as I remember it, just what its name suggested, a house where people lodged. I recall teachers at the village school living there.
I have not been to the village for some time and have not seen the changes. I do think it a very good idea to provide a good care home.
When I was young I used to think how nice it would be to live in a big house like Red Lodge and if I still lived in the village I would likely have had a chance, although it would be in somewhat different circumstances to when I was young. It was good to read about it and bring back memories.
