YHA Burley Wood Head - 1957 - a photo on Flickriver

YHA Burley Wood Head - 1957

            My first experience of youth hostelling: a cycling & trainspotting trip to York with my brother. We stayed here on the way to York and on the return to Lancaster, April 1st + 4th 1957. This trip opened up a new life for me - cycle touring!

Official YHA postcard purchased at the hostel. The hostel opened in 1945 and closed in 1972, this photo is reputed to have been taken in 1950.

Scanner: Brother MFC-L2700DW.

Taken in: UK / England / Burley (show map)
