Little Switzerland

A Memory of Hessle.

I remember going there on many occasions in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Catching the bus from Hessle Road (we lived in Bean Street) and this was a great day out for kids “in the country” The method we used of getting to the quarry was to go under a low, dingy and usually muddy tunnel/bridge actually under the railway line. The “pond” in the quarry was full of newts and collecting brambles and eating them was always a highlight. Actually playing on the quarry and some old rusted equipment that was still there would send the health and safety people nuts today. Great memories of this place.
