Thank You for acknowledging my entry and thank you for the offer but I would prefer not to put this heirloom into public domain as it has family members who are sadly no longer with us. However, to give you a perspective, my father was born in The Temple in 1928 and became the eldest child in a large family, as was quite usual in those days. I believe that other members of my family may have some other photos, and I recall a newspaper clipping from The Hull Daily Mail when they ran a story on The Temple, I believe in the 1970s. I came upon your website whilst looking for information on Carnaby in general and I thank you for helping to preserve our history.

Good morning George thanks for sharing your family history. It’s lovely to think of the temple as a home rather than the sad structure it is today. If you would be happy for me to use your photo please email me. Thanks again.

Cool

Yes, it is said that a member of the Strickland family introduced turkeys to Britain, and as you will know the turkey is on the family crest. But the tower was not built until centuries later, so that bit of the story is a myth. Thank you for getting in touch.

Agreed. And very much looking forward to your book on wind. Thanks for your compliments on the images. I am lucky to have friends old and new who generously help me out

Thank you Garance. I’m pleased you enjoy learning about the north, but I am hoping that my ramblings can now take me further afield. We Flâneuses suffer acutely from wanderlust!
