South Humberside memories

Ashby Broadway

Shopping Centre c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I lived in Ashby as a child, and when I started attending Ashby Girls' School on Ashby Turn, I had to walk from the bottom of Ashby to the top every day, rain or shine. When I was 11 in 1948, Broadway was nothing more than an overgrown field, I realise now there must have been houses there that had been pulled down ready to build Broadway, but as a child all I saw was a field fronted by a picket fence. When they built Broadway it was so exciting to go in the Co-op, and climb the central stairs up to the clothing and underwear counters, the stairs were wide and had benches half way up on a wide landing, people including my mother and myself would sit and look over onto the makeup and perfume counter below.

Hollidays

High Street 1904
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This picture shows Hollidays livery. I am George Holliday's great grand daughter. My aunt used to talk about where the shop was and while I don't remember it, I do remember her talking about it. It was fascinating to find this picture, which ties in exactly with what she said!

Great Grandad's House

High Street 1904
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My great grandad lived and worked on the right of this photo. I'm not 100\% sure which house but the location fits with census returns and what I've been told. The sign may say his name, I can't make it out clearly enough to be certain.

This Brings Back Such Lovely Memories

High Street c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was really shocked but pleased to find this photo - it is of my mum and nana in 1955 on Scunthorpe's High Street - we lived in Allanby Street. I was 10 years old when this picture was taken - it has brought back fond warm memories thank you - Linda.

The Lee Family

John Lee lived in Frodingham in the 17th century (poss16th century), he was a cabinet maker.

Great Grandma's House

Temperance Road c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This house is where my great grandma lived as a child. It was demolished not long after this photo was taken.

Back in The Day...

My gt-uncle, Thomas Higgs was a Footman here in 1911, although how the heck he got here from Spratton, Northants, where he was born is anybody's guess!
I'd love to know.
