Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,AEOLA Date: 29 Nov 12 - 01:49 PM what a sad state of affairs. hopeeverything gets sorted quickly and you recover your possessions. the cat will find you!! |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Noreen Date: 29 Nov 12 - 12:56 PM There's no access for anybody to bring anything out, Mo, that's the problem. The access path is now 30ft down the hillside. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Mo the caller Date: 29 Nov 12 - 12:31 PM If they are going at it gently will they bring the furniture out, or let people bring it out themselves. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Noreen Date: 29 Nov 12 - 12:15 PM Demolition now will be probably starting Friday afternoon, after they've laid a metal roadway to get a cherry-picker in: "Accessibility is absolutely diabolical. There'll be a man going up in a man-riding basket with a bucket and a hammer and basically he'll be knocking it down brick-by-brick. It's going to be a long, laborious task." (-Councillor Mike Cockerill, cabinet member for harbours, assets, coasts and flood protection- that's some job, in that area!) Good luck, Jude. x |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: The Sandman Date: 29 Nov 12 - 11:03 AM I have known Jude for many years from the days when she ran a club at Linthwaite, back in the 1980s, she is great fun and a kind person. nobody deserves this kind of thing, and certainly not Jude,I hope you cat gets found and accomoadtion gets sorted for you quickly. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Pete Jennings Date: 29 Nov 12 - 10:33 AM I echo Muppet. My heart goes out to you. Watching the TV news I couldn't begin to imagine the awfulness of the situation. Pete |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Muppett Date: 29 Nov 12 - 10:07 AM I echo everything that's been said, best wishes to you and I hope Boudica turns up safe and well. Muppett XXX |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: kendall Date: 29 Nov 12 - 09:51 AM This happens so often all around the world; it seems that nature resents us. It must be a horrible feeling to witness this. You have a cat named Boudicca? We have an antique car that we call Boudicca. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Jack Campin Date: 29 Nov 12 - 08:29 AM Cats usually hide in inaccessible places without going far (during a fire, all five of ours piled into the space between the washing machine and the wall, and they stayed there for two days). Not a great idea if the house is going to be bulldozed. Let's hope the demolition goes slowly enough for Boudicca to get out. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Wyrd Sister Date: 29 Nov 12 - 08:23 AM Whoops I think that above was me! I don't think I know you personally, Jude, but we know so many people in common (unsurprisingly!)and I've had my share of Folk Week barbecues 'up top'. I'd like to add our good wishes for the very best outcome possible of this state of affairs. Possessions can be lost in a moment, memories and friendships not so easily... |

Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,SteveT Date: 29 Nov 12 - 05:47 AM Best wishes to Jude – I hope you'll soon be able to find a new place to settle permanently. I have fond memories of the singarounds you hosted in the Station in the days when I used to get up to Whitby. Cats are great survivors – hope its been found now. |

Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: katlaughing Date: 28 Nov 12 - 11:35 PM When i read about this earlier today i wondered if Mudcatters knew Jude as i've heard so much about Whitby. Good to know you are safe and the insurance co. is helping. A Have-A-Heart trap may be a good way to entice the cat back, I will *see* her surrounding by a light of protection and safely returned to you. Best wishes from Colorado, kat |

Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Brian Peters Date: 28 Nov 12 - 07:18 PM Not seen much of you, Jude, in recent years, but glad to see your spirited response to such desperate circumstances. Best wishes, Brian |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Gillie Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:53 PM Thinking of you Jude, Hope that indeed you do manage to salvage posessions. Best of luck in in all, hope taht the cat turns up. xx |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Gurney Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:47 PM No personalities mentioned, but the collapsing terrace even made the international news segment in NZ! |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,999 Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:42 PM This is slightly off topic, but not really. Cats I've seen in emergencies do not react 'normally'. They get scared and flee, anywhere. They need about 24 hours to re-orient themselves. Possibly it's gone to a neighbours or back to its usually place in the building. Put out food for it--(not sardines) its usual food--and call for it now and then. Cats aren't very bright, but they aren't stupid, either. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Joe G Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:27 PM Great to hear from you Jude - been thinking of you since hearing the news from Brian - hope everything works out as best it can and look forward to seeing you at new year x |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST Date: 28 Nov 12 - 06:17 PM Jude Sad to hear the cottage has to go, glad to hear you may get some stuff out tomorrow. Which cat and what colour? I will keep an eye out while I am walking the dogs. Chris |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: The Sandman Date: 28 Nov 12 - 05:31 PM jude, i am glad you are alive and kicking. I send you a big hug. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Colin- The Station Inn Date: 28 Nov 12 - 04:49 PM Jude, if you do manage to get anything out and need somewhere to store anything for however long we have plenty of space here. Col x |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: gnomad Date: 28 Nov 12 - 04:27 PM Ah, good that you are with friends, and that you still have your mobile, even without coverage in Staithes. Hope you are able to get a few more of your things out tomorrow. Anything we can do to help? I propose to stay away unless I hear differently, as there will doubtless be an excess of ghoulish interest, but if you want some company just sing out. If you do get to go back in, even briefly, a few photos of any stuff you have to leave may help with the insurance. I am sure all your friends here will help out with storing anything you do recover. All the best, PaulS |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,999 Date: 28 Nov 12 - 03:32 PM I don't know you and will never meet you, but I'm very glad things are working out. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,aelfleda Date: 28 Nov 12 - 03:21 PM Hi Everyone - it's me - alive & kicking! I've now done 4 TV interviews but would have liked a more pleasant way of achieving my 15 minutes of fame! Hanging out in Staithes now with Fil - down side to this is there's no mobile phone signal down here so sorry for not replying to all the lovely text messages that I've had from everyone. Insurance people have been great (really) & are moving extremely quickly which is good news. 6 Aelfleda reduces to rubble tomorrow morning & I MAY be able to get a few things out from the back of the house (they're going to knock a hole in the wall) or, I might not. Still - most instruments are saved along with some old photos, pictures, CDs & the like - you know, the most importanht things in life! Thanks all Jude |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: vectis Date: 28 Nov 12 - 02:59 PM Oh! Crap! I saw this on the national news and thought I recognised the back of Jude's place. Poor lass. I hope she can get in and get at least some of her personal belongings out and check that Boudicca hasn't gone home before the place is torn down. Now where will the cable car go to??? (All folk week Station Inn singers will understand this). |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 28 Nov 12 - 02:30 PM Raymondo, as this issue has been the subject of protracted legal arguments between various parties I would suggest making uneducated assumptions based on hearsay is not the thing to do at present. It could, at worse, be detrimental to Jude and her legal team. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,Joe G Date: 28 Nov 12 - 02:27 PM Awful news - I first found out from Brian Colley on Facebook - feel so sorry for her - I'd be beside myself - hope she gets her most treasured possesions back at least |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,old git Date: 28 Nov 12 - 02:26 PM Sad to see this. I too have stayed with Jude in this lovely house. love and hugs to Jude. geoff t |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: r.padgett Date: 28 Nov 12 - 02:08 PM Demolishing Thursday it seems, guitar safe, dunno bout cat poor thing Insurance looks to be ok and Jude will be looking for rented property at least initally! Possessions a problem as building unsafe Featured on local North evening news again (above based on my understanding of these reports!) Tim Binns seems to own the property at the bottom of the cliff which suffered some land slippage [Wath Morris Man] 5 properties to go and from back, brick by brick, seems water was routed under the properties from the Abbey a bone of contention!! Ray |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: The Sandman Date: 28 Nov 12 - 12:26 PM that is awful,I hve stayed at her house a few times, i hope the cat is found and that she gets her guitar out. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: nutty Date: 28 Nov 12 - 12:26 PM Thanks for the correction 999. I should have checked the spelling before I posted. Judy has lots of friends on the folk scene and is particularly well known for organising numerous folk event over the years based on the Station (formerlyTap and Spile) hostelry in Whitby. I do hope she gets to read these messages and that she lets us know if we can help in any way. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: MoorleyMan Date: 28 Nov 12 - 10:01 AM I too was devastated to see the news item. Jude's most likely to be sans-computer and unable to read this, and will have more than enough to worry about, but I do hope she can be re-housed PDQ and wish her all the best. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Herga Kitty Date: 28 Nov 12 - 09:52 AM I've just found the latest reporting in the Whitby Gazette - and as if being homeless and possessionless wasn't bad enough, one of Judie's 2 cats is missing too. I hope at least that Boudica is found safe! Kitty |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: GUEST,999 Date: 28 Nov 12 - 09:41 AM My apologies for placing this here and no offence meant, but it may help people checking news sources. The spelling is as follows. Aelfleda Terrace, Whitby I hope your friend is able to relocate soon. Sounds like she has many friends over there. |
Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: r.padgett Date: 28 Nov 12 - 09:15 AM O dear, yes this has made BBC and Yorkshire Tv local news and of course, many of us have stayed with her (or next door) during Whitby ff week and had barbecues etc the news has travelled fast and we all hope that she will be ok She has been there some 26yrs and the houses were built 150 years ago Demolition will mean rehousing O hell Ray |

Subject: RE: Judy Knight - House Collapse From: Herga Kitty Date: 28 Nov 12 - 08:56 AM Hazel - I'm shocked to see your message (Harrow is too far south to get Look North!). I just hope Judy will be comfortably rehoused soon! Kitty |
