Aerial View of Linen Mills looking NorthEast
 | (Picture kindly contributed by Colin Narramore)
This view looking roughly NorthEast shows in the foreground the Pattison-Yeoman mill which is the present Linen Way housing estate.
This is separated by a long high brick wall from the Wilford mill which is at the other side of the beck. The winding line of trees shows the upstream view of the beck and the Wilford mill can be identified by the tall chimney which was demolished in Nov 2003.
At the top right corner is the old Windmill which has been recently restored (story being prepared now and coming soon).
Running from R to L just beyond Wilford's mill is Station Road and at the very bottom right can be seen the tower of St Thomas church and the north side of Church View running across the bottom right hand corner.

Aerial View of Linen Mills looking West
 | (Picture kindly contributed by Colin Narramore)
This view has the Wilford mill in the foreground and the Pattison-Yeoman mill beyond the wall.
The railway can be clearly seen and the area between the Wilford mill and the railway had sidings originally, for loading and unloading coal, flax and finished linen. The coal yard is still working but the coal is now delivered by road.
The "field" beyond the mills this side of the railway is now housing.

Northallerton Silver Lining Week 1947
 | (Picture kindly contributed by Colin Narramore)
This display by W& J Pattison Ltd at Northallerton Silver Lining Week Exhibition was held in the Town Hall November 22nd – 29th 1947. Many other local manufactures also displayed their wares.
As the name Silver Lining implies, the idea of the savings week was to encourage people to save in order to provide the banks with money which could then be loaned to businesses. Available cash was in great demand for rebuilding the economy during this difficult period of austerity after the end of World War 2 in 1945. The campaign over this period raised around £35,500.
