North Humberside memories

Beck Side

My father lived at 7 Beck Side North as a child having moved there from Hull. The gardens were long and contained fruit trees. His father was a keen gardener. The neighbours kept cows and sold milk! My father fell in the beck aged 3 but managed to get out.

The Lock

I was looking through the photes of Beverley, the man in the picture of the Lock, in the flat cap and shirt sleeves must be Mr Block. He used to come round to my house when I was a boy selling mushrooms that he collected on Figham.

My childhood memories of Beeford

Beeford holds many fond memories for me. My grandparents Charlie and Mary Walker took over the corner shop in around 1963. They then turned it into 'Ye Olde Wrought Iron Shoppe' which my grandfather ran until his late seventies. We spent most weekends there and as I grew up I visited often and had many a good night in the Yorkshire... [more]

The cyclist in this picture is my father John G Heward. He would have been 35 at the time and we lived in Brook Street.

Granny

Gertrude Margaret Whytehead (Daisy) was our grandmother. She was the daughter of Henry Yates Whytehead and we believe her mother was also Gertrude.
They lived at Bewholme Grange and Granny may have been born there in 1878.
She was the eldest of a large family. We know of Alice, Leonard and Frederick but we are sure there were more.[more]

We had the WW2... [more]

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Aike, inspired by Frith photos.

Hull Town and City Memories

This picture is one of the great views of Cornwall, looking down St Stephen's Hill towards the valley of the River Kensey, with the jumble of houses clinging to the hillside beyond, capped by the castle on its hill 500 feet above sea level. To the left is the tower of St Mary Magdalene. This view remains almost unchanged today, but... [more]

Hull Town and City Memories

Race Hill was once the main road into Launceston from the south; it leads down to the South Gate, which is the last remnant of the old town walls. The North and West gates were demolished in 1832 and 1812 respectively. The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the... [more]

Hull Town and City Memories

This photograph was taken from Windmill Hill, the only point in the town that is higher than the castle. The road curving up to the left of the castle is Roydon Road, known at this time as Zulu Road. In the foreground, the area right of the road is now a new estate, and opposite is a 1930s brick terrace. The... [more]
