ATWICK HOLIDAYS
Our family (from Bradford) would rent one of the chalets on the cliff top at the end of Cliff Road, 2nd in on the left I think. Me and my 2 sisters would walk down to the farm at the end of the road for fresh milk. Each year the garden got smaller as the cliff collapsed.
We had the WW2 pillboxes on the beach to play in. RAF planes would have target practice over the sea.
The yearly trip into Bridlington for a trip on the Yokshire Belle or the Boys Own round to Flamborough Head.

Summer Holidays
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 not like the smell from reckits factoryl
My dad used to laugh as we held our noses walking past there. They were great holidays.

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 bank. The heating in the building was powered by a big coal fired boiler in the cellar and one of my main tasks was to shovel coal down the coal chute and stoke the boiler, not what I had expected when I had applied for a job as a bank clerk and all this for the princely salary of ...read more here

my family
I have just started to trace my family tree and found that my mother was born in the pub in Patrington market place in the year 1922. The family name being Melbourne. Does anybody have any memories of the people who owned that pub around that time or even a little later. It would make interesting reading.

Extracts From Aldbrough & North Humberside books
It is believed that there was once a Saxon settlement nearby that now lies beneath the sea. It was probably destroyed during the 12th or 13th century, when the coastal weather was particularly bad. Here a lady can be seen trying to coax a child down the steps to the beach.
An extract from from"Yorkshire Coastal Memories Photographic Memories".
This street, in one of the largest of the Holderness coastal villages, used to be called Poskett Lane. A mile away there was once a moated castle that had belonged to the landowners, the de Melsa family, which died out in 1377. The village church of St Bartholomew has two tombs and effigies believed to be of the last of the de Melsas.
An extract from from"Yorkshire Coastal Memories Photographic Memories".
The name of the village means ‘castle’ or ‘entrenchment’. This quaint public house was probably built on the site of a coaching inn. The present building was constructed in the late 17th century, and it underwent remodelling in the 19th century. It is a focal point of the village.
An extract from from"Yorkshire Coastal Memories Photographic Memories".
The church of St Cuthbert is of Early English origins, but
was restored in 1877 and partially rebuilt in brick. There
was once a south aisle, but this was removed, as was the
chancel arch. A small turret clock, with two dials, was erected
in the tower in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s jubilee.
An extract from from"Humberside Pocket Album".
The Hall was built in the early 18th century, when the parkland was
laid out; it includes the oldest monkey-puzzle trees in the world. The
house and grounds were bought by Bridlington Council in 1934 and
opened to the public by Amy Johnson. After her death on one of her
long-distance flights, her father gave her memorabilia to the Hall, and
the Amy Johnson room was opened in 1956.
