North Humberside memories
Place of Birth
I was born in Catfoss at Astral House. Is there anybody out there who knows of this place and where it is today? dmoore@leedsth.nhs.uk 8,ls14 1 br
Curious Old Woman
I have no memory to share. My interest in Dunnington Castle is that Dunnington is my maiden name. My mother had once told me that three Dunnington men came to the United States and had settled in different sections of the country. My Grandfather Dunnington settled in Wisconsin. It would be interesting to find that they came from Noth Humberside, wouldn't it? I would like to see a picture of the castle if anyone has one.
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.
Henry Y Whytehead may have been a doctor.
We have an old black and white photo of the house but don't know when it was taken.
You could have a copy if you wish but I'm not sure how to send it by e-mail. I'll investigate if you like.
We would like to know when the house was built and if a member of our family commissioned it.
We'd like to know where family members are buried if in this area.

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 Rose which was then the Black Swan. I loved to walk up the lane through the church yard to the playing field where there was a metal frame to swing on, and I also remember at the top of the field was a great big log we used to play on, I don't suppose that is there any more. They were very special days. I believe the old house has now been renovated. My grandfather was a wonderful character much loved by the people of Beeford and his granddaughter!
ATWICK HOLIDAYS
Our family (from Bradford) would rent one of the chalets on the cliff top at the end of Cliff Road, 2nd in on the left I think. Me and my 2 sisters would walk down to the farm at the end of the road for fresh milk. Each year the garden got smaller as the cliff collapsed.
We had the WW2 pillboxes on the beach to play in. RAF planes would have target practice over the sea.
The yearly trip into Bridlington for a trip on the Yokshire Belle or the Boys Own round to Flamborough Head.
Evacuated to Great Hatfield
I and my sister were sent to live with Mrs Prest and her daughter, Olive at "Brooklands", Great Hatfield. We were from Middlesex just outside London. We attended school under the watchful eye of Mrs Pearson of Hornsea. We were there for a year and three months. Prominent in my memory are the Clappisons, Hesks, Stainforths and a kindly lad called Howe. I heard of a request on the Wilfred Pickles radio show regarding my family. "Where are they now?". I was in England visiting from Canada in 1973 with my wife and daughter. I got the bus all the way up from Devon to Hull and finally got to Great Hatfield. Miss Prest was surprised to see us show up. What a nice time we had. Farmer Robinson showed my daughter young farm animals and she loved that. So glad I did this and we kept contact with Olive for a number of years. I remember the landmine that exploded nearest to "Brooklands" in 1940. Though about a... Read more
