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.

I spent many happy hours down at the Haven, fishing and playing in general. I also collected coke from the gas house round the corner down what was then the weigh bridge, dodging the steam from the locomotives.

We used to go to Hull to visit relatives. My mam and dad had friends who used to have a shop on the front in Hessle. I went to Little Switzerland as it was called. One year we went there and a man had a barbeque, he put chickens on it, I think he kept them. I spent happy days watching... [more]

The statue of William III, originally erected in 1734, stands proudly in the centre, bisected by the tramlines. William has moved several times over the years; he now sits above a Gents urinal. The tower of the Holy Trinity Church peers over the fine silk and jeweller's stores.
