My Family
I have just started to trace my family tree and found that my mother was born in the pub in Patrington market place in the year 1922. The family name being Melbourne. Does anybody have any memories of the people who owned that pub around that time or even a little later. It would make interesting reading.
Withernwick Primary School
I attended Withernwick Primary School, starting 1996, now closed. The building still stands - I think they're not quite sure what to do with it! I hope the old conker tree still stands in the corner of the playground - everyone who attended will remember it.
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
My First And Last Jobs in Hull
This is a photo of the Derringham Branch of the Hull Savings Bank where I started as a junior bank clerk at the age of 16 on 31st August 1965, probably around the time when this photo was taken. It certainly looks right.
This was my first job after leaving Riley High School, just down the road from the bank. The heating in the building was powered by a big coal fired boiler in the cellar and one of my main tasks was to shovel coal down the coal chute and stoke the boiler, not what I had expected when I had applied for a job as a bank clerk and all this for the princely salary of £325 a year.
What a lovely buiding this was, especially in 1965. Polished wood panelling everywhere; solid mahogany counter; highly polished (and dangerously slippery!) parquet floors where the staff worked and a beautiful mosaic floor in the customer area with the Kingston Upon Hull three crowns crest set...

Summer Holidays
My Mam was from Hull and I was born there. We moved to Wales when I was three. We used to go to visit my Gran in Glebe Road, and my Aunt Hilda. We loved the patties and fish and chips. They were the best. I remember the trams, the parks and riding bikes. Us children, my brothers and I, did not like the smell from reckits factoryl My dad used to laugh as we held our noses walking past there. They were great holidays.
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.
