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.
Contributed by Brenda Reeve
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.

Extracts From Beverley & North Humberside books
There is no disputing the claim that the Minster is one of Europe’s
most beautiful and finest churches. The Early English east end was
begun in 1220, and the magnificent Perpendicular west front, with
its richly pinnacled towers, was completed in 1420. Inside, amid
the immense display of ornament and sculpture, is a rare stone
sanctuary chair known as the Frith Stool.
An extract from from"Humberside Pocket Album".
In the Saturday Market is a
market cross built in 1714. It
is an open octagon with pillars
supporting the domed roof, which
displays the arms of England,
France and the two local Members
of Parliament who donated it.
An extract from from"Humberside Pocket Album".
Here we have a closer view of the Market Cross, showing
the vast amount of setts needed to cover the road. Streets
such as this are often wrongly described as cobbled streets.
In fact, cobbles are circular and very rare, whereas there are
stone sett streets in most northern towns.

This photograph shows the layout
of Beverley well, with North Bar
leading to the Market Place. It
also reveals more detail of the west
front of St Mary’s Church.
An extract from from"Humberside Pocket Album".
The Hayride, which takes place in Walkington on the
third Sunday in June, began after the Second World War.
A colourful procession of splendid Shire horses pull ancient
corn wagons around the area, a tradition known nowhere
else in Britain.
