Coronation Year

A Memory of Holme.

I moved to Holme on Spalding Moor, just after Easter 1953. My gran had a pub in Hull called The Black Boy, and she retired to Holme to run the Railway Inn in Holme and as I then lived with her I moved too. I was very excited to live in the country, as I had always lived in Hull before, which was a very dirty and sooty place in those days. I went to school in Market Weighton for the last few weeks until the end of that term, left school on the Friday, and started work on the following Monday at the Northern Dairies factory just across from the pub. My job was in the quality control laboratory, and I learned such a lot. I worked there until October of the following year and then got a job in Bridlington. I was also married in Holme church on the hill, on Sunday in February 1958, and had the reception on the New Inn at the bottom of Church Hill, which was managed by my Aunt and Uncle, Frank and Hilda Cawley, and always remember Holme with pleasure. p.s. went back just a few years ago, didn't recognise anything.
