North Humberside memories

We rode our bikes round Little Swits and often visited Humberfield quarry to watch the train come out of the tunnel. There isn't much... [more]

I spent many happy hours down at the Haven, fishing and playing in general. I also collected coke from the gas house round the corner down what was then the weigh bridge, dodging the steam from the locomotives.

We used to go to Hull to visit relatives. My mam and dad had friends who used to have a shop on the front in Hessle. I went to Little Switzerland as it was called. One year we went there and a man had a barbeque, he put chickens on it, I think he kept them. I spent happy days watching... [more]

At weekends, visitors to these little boats could be seen painting them, and charging batteries with wind powered car... [more]

Opening of the 'New' Hull Police Station
My great-grandfather, Richard Gillett, was an Alderman and laid the foundation stone for this building. I don't suppose that there is a photo of the Foundation Stone anywhere, is there? A member of our family has the engraved silver trowel and gavel which were presented to him at the time.

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]

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]

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]
