Grimsby Voluntary Fire Brigade, Theatres & Market Photo Search

A Memory of Cleethorpes.

My mother (maiden name Joan Patrica Hubbard) is in her early 90s now and often recalls her childhood and early memories of Grimsby. She tells me of a picture with her father John (Jack) Hubbard) in it when he was in the voluntary fire brigade (he lost a leg and died when she was only 5yrs old, possibly through fighting a fire). She has no idea where the picture disappeared to. If anyone knows of such a picture (not sure if it was a photograph or actual painted picture), i would be so grateful to have sight of it just to be able to show it to her again after so many years.

Also her mother (Mary Ann Robinson/Robertson, but may have had a stage name) was on the stage (her brother William/Bill Robinson/Robertson) was too probably early to 1900-1930. Any photographs of either or the theatres they may have performed at would also be greatly welcomed. Her mother was also in the underground shelter in the Market Place when it was bombed in 1940s second world war. Would anyone have any photographs of this too. Fortunately, they got her mother out alive, but my mother believes she never fully got over that and her mother sadly died of cancer at the end of the war in 1945.

Thank you.
