North Humberside memories
Holderness Hunt
Started work here at the Kennels, Old Joe was the head groom, Mr Harold Horbury, huntsman and Earnie, the whip. Young Starky was the terrier boy. I lodged with Mr and Mrs Horbury. Wage £2.10 - board £2.00 per week. Made friends with the Tate family. (nee Jane Jennings)
Brumby, Wilson The Sweet Shop. 1966 Onwards.
I can remember going to the sweet shop in front of the church and spending my pennies. It always fascinated me that a shop was also someone's home. I can recall the long summers playing out in the long orchard (probably not long at all) which was at the end of Edwins Garth, we would call on The Towse children. I must have been a real tomboy as I can't recall playing with any girls in the village.
I can still recall going to meet and see my dad at "Stivvies" Farmand being sat on the pony there.
We would go to Spring Wells and the monkey run at the top of Londesborough Road as we got older.
My favourite memory was travelling to Beverley on the train to Market Weighton with my Auntie Doris, and coming home again to mum and dad after a weekend away.
I loved to go to watch the Kiplingcoates Derby. "Fezzie" watching with my brothers and dad.

Postcard
The cyclist in this picture is my father John G Heward. He would have been 35 at the time and we lived in Brook Street.
Flying Man of Pocklington
I remember going to Pocklington, in the effort to find family from our family tree. We went to Bishop Wilton. But, in browsing in Pocklington, we found out about the Flying Man of Pocklington. He said he could fly, and went up to the top of the highest building in the village at the time, which was the church, tied a rope to his leg, just in case, and proceed to fly off the top. He went to the extend of the rope, and slammed into the church wall. He was buried at the bottom of the wall, from where he hit the wall.
That was very amusing, I wonder what kin he still has in Pocklington ... a family skeleton no doubt ...
Wednesday Market Place
Hi, I would just like to add that the old photographs in this collection of Beverley, Market Places, are indeed old photographs of Saturday Market. That is, all except B80045 which is a photograph of Wednesday Market. The Fiveways Cafe in Wednesday Market was named Fiveways as you can arrive at it from five different roads.
The Lock
I was looking through the photes of Beverley, the man in the picture of the Lock, in the flat cap and shirt sleeves must be Mr Block. He used to come round to my house when I was a boy selling mushrooms that he collected on Figham.
Beck Side
My father lived at 7 Beck Side North as a child having moved there from Hull. The gardens were long and contained fruit trees. His father was a keen gardener. The neighbours kept cows and sold milk! My father fell in the beck aged 3 but managed to get out.
