South Humberside memories

1876 drowning of my great grandfather

I recently visited Goole in search of records of my maternal ancestry. I discovered that my great grand father Bernard Knowles Brook and his 6-yr-old son George from Goole were drowned at Keadby on 9 July 1876. I understand that his wife and probably also my then 1-yr-old grandfather Matthew Moorhouse Brook were nearby on the "Eagle" when the drowning occurred... [more]

Ashby Broadway

I lived in Ashby as a child, and when I started attending Ashby Girls' School on Ashby Turn, I had to walk from the bottom of Ashby to the top every day, rain or shine. When I was 11 in 1948, Broadway was nothing more than an overgrown field, I realise now there must have been houses there that had been... [more]

The Village Shop

One of my fondest memories of my childhood visits to Ealand was visiting the village shop, which stocked a wide variety of goods and was owned by two sisters, Miss Gertie and Miss Laura Sales. Miss Gertie was in charge of the shop and when I called in the shop soon after arriving in the village by train from Manchester via... [more]

Family ties with Ealand

My parents, grandparents and I visited the village of Ealand every year from about 1954 until the 1960s. Our connection with the village arose from the fact that my paternal grandmother had two sisters, Mary and Lizzie, who both married farmers who hailed from Ealand. Mary married Jim Foster and they originally lived at Field House Farm, before Uncle Jim retired... [more]

98 & 100 High Street

These two shops in the High Street in Crowle were owned by my grandmother Rose Raper. They were handed down to my father and aunt. My dad Raymond Raper had the grocers shop at number 98 and we lived above the shop until I was ten years old in 1963. My dad continued to work in the shop until his retirement... [more]

Old Brough

When I came to live at Brough there were two shops, plenty of banks and churches and two pubs, the Buccaneer and the Ferry Inn. I visited both on numerous occasions. I worked at both the timber yard and what was then Hawker Siddleys. I was 25 years at Brough. I visited a month ago and didn't know it, the merger... [more]

Evacuees from Hull in WWII

I have never been to Gilberdyke, but I recall that my grandmother, Ivy Ruston, took her 2 younger daughters, Mabel and Dorothy, to lodge in Gilberdyke when the bombing began in Hull.
My grandfather, Harry Ruston, a signals inspector on the LNER railway, knew someone connected with the railway in Gilberdyke who offered Ivy and the girls a safe home... [more]

Willow Garth

My Grandparents Arthur and Gladys Gossop lived at Willow Garth, opposite the White Horse Pub.  Grandad bought it with his Army money.  He built a workshop, and began a business which included Wheelwright, Joiner and Contractor.  He made coffins and walked in funeral processions with his best top hat on.  He put piped water, WCs and a bathroom into the house,...

Extracts From Burton-Upon-Stather & South Humberside books

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Burton-Upon-Stather, inspired by Frith photos.

Humberside Pocket Album

The Sheffield Arms dominates the scene, and still does to this day. The corner shop has gone, and Darley's Ales are not available - the hostelry is now part of the Pubmaster chain. For the pub to be advertising a 'large car park' at this date suggests that the clientele came from outside the village, and that they were somewhat up-market to be car owners in the '50s. ...

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories

The Avenue leads round to Normanby Road, which recalls the landowners of the nearby Normanby Hall and Estate. Normanby Hall is now a public recreation area, and contains a museum and magnificent gardens. In this picture, at the end of the road we see Blacksmith's Cottage and stables behind. Now in private hands, up until the 1950s it and much other... [more]

Hull Town and City Memories

Two ancient churches occupy sites in the Old Town: St Mary's in nearby Lowgate, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, shown here with its attendant market stalls. The church stands on the site of an earlier chapel, and was consecrated in around 1425. The fabric contains large areas of the earliest surviving medieval brickwork in England, and it is reputedly the largest parish church, by area, in the country.
