A picture postcard of Boulby Grange, a former Georgian farmhouse (Grade II listed) taken from The Cleveland Way. Paul Dodsworth tells the Archive: “Regarding Boulby Grange; my grandfather, Robert Dodsworth was a Police Inspector covering the area of Loftus, etc., and during the Second World War was put in charge of the movement of meat, as everything was rationed and he was based at Boulby Grange. I, Paul Dodsworth his grandson had the pleasure of visiting the property as a kid. I seem to just remember a orchard and if I am not mistaken there was a marble fireplace in one room; also I remember something about secret passages”.

My grandfather, Robert Willis, was born here on 7 April 1894.
