Newcastle, we want your houses on file! We’ve been talking about doing an inventory of our older houses in a more organized manner for some time – so now, as an adjunct to our digitization project, we are asking you to help us kickstart this project.
Email us and let us know about your old house - we'll reply with instructions on submitting photos or any other detailed info!
Donations to the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society can now be made online easily and securely. Donations are tax-deductible. We use CanadaHelps to process our donations and you will be issued with a tax receipt promptly.
Newcastle pins that were added to a personal collection out of town. We were happy to contribute to an educational and enriching collection!
● Town of Newcastle Pin
● Newcastle Sesquicentennial Pin (150 years)
● Municipality of Clarington Pin (1994 name change from the "Town of Newcastle" to "The Municipality of Clarington")
Share below a picture of any Newcastle Pins that you have collected over the years.
Lights, camera 📸, action...🎥🎥🎥
This older historical home known as the Ebor House is getting the attention that it deserves. While we love this house, so does the filming industry.🎬
Currently filming a Netflix series-Y The Last Man. The project is based on an award-winning graphic novel series of the same name. The series tells the take of a post-apocalyptic US in the wake of a deadly plague that has wiped out every person with a Y chromosome. In other words, it is suddenly a world without men... except for a lone college dropout named Yorick, who now finds himself and everyone he meets- questioning if and why he is the only man left.
So glad to hear about this!

HOPPY EASTER🐰🥚🥕
Hand drawn menu that was thought to be for an Easter Tea at St. George's Church. It may have been drawn either by Mrs.Frederick Farncomb (Jane Robson 1826-1905) or her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Alfred Farncomb (Hannah Mary Coldwell 1864-1935).
Note the price for ice cream! 🍨
Obviously a much prized treat!

The key 🔑 To Better Living!
We are excited to have received this lighter that originally came from the Karl Weyrich Wood Speciality store of Newcastle. Mr.Weyrich built a variety of wood products like office desks, chairs, tables, but the company specialized in radio and television cabinets. The store was built in 1946 (beside and behind where the CIBC is now). This would have been a promotional gift that his store gave away at one time.
