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.

My Mam was from Hull and I was born there. We moved to Wales when I was three. We used to go to visit my Gran in Glebe Road, and my Aunt Hilda. We loved the patties and fish and chips. They were the best. I remember the trams, the parks and riding bikes. Us children, my brothers and I, did... [more]

My first and last jobs in Hull
This is a photo of the Derringham Branch of the Hull Savings Bank where I started as a junior bank clerk at the age of 16 on 31st August 1965, probably around the time when this photo was taken. It certainly looks right.
This was my first job after leaving Riley High School, just down the road from the... [more]

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... [more]

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.

I was order boy for quite a few proprietors, one being Mallorys in Prestongate. This photo is slightly earlier.

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]

Villages of Yorkshire Photographic Memories
Seven miles to the east of Hull but totally isolated from urban ways, Paull has a history stretching back to the days of Charles I. When the King blockaded Hull in the Civil War, a military battery was built just to the south of this picture. This position was later used in the Napoleonic wars and finally in the 2nd World...

Two ancient churches occupy sites in the Old Town: St Mary's in nearby Lowgate, and the Church of the Holy Trinity, shown here with its attendant market stalls. The church stands on the site of an earlier chapel, and was consecrated in around 1425. The fabric contains large areas of the earliest surviving medieval brickwork in England, and it is reputedly the largest parish church, by area, in the country.

This house, according to tradition, was owned and built during the 16th century by the Lister family, who entertained King Charles I here in 1639.

During the 18th century the house was the home of the wealthy Wilberforce family. It was here in 1759 that... [more]
