Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I walked and played down here. My aunty and uncle owned one of the house boats nearby and my father worked at Marshalls quarry/mill for a while. The area has changed a lot ,mostly to car parking. We rode our bikes round Little Swits and often visited Humberfield quarry to watch the train come out of the tunnel. There isn't much left of any of it now.

RE: RE: Foreshore

I used to go on holiday to Hull. My mam and dad were friends of Harry and Winney Marshal who ran a shop on the foreshore. We used to visit them. They had two sons, Rowland and Malcolm. They used to take us to Little Swits, it was lovely along the foreshore.
