North Humberside memories
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.

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]
