North Humberside memories
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.

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.

Cowgate
The view is of Cowgate looking south. The white building in the background is the Green Dragon Inn - once a haunt of Dick Turpin. The beck, mill dam and church are just to the left. Welton once had 3 water mills - the last of which was working into the 1950s

Foreshore Houseboats
In the early 1950's walking past the little white cottage that is now The Country Park Inn, towards Ferriby, one could see a selection of little ships (Puffers) pulled up high & dry on the river bank. that were used as houseboats. At weekends, visitors to these little boats could be seen painting them, and charging batteries with wind powered car dynamos.
Behind the cottage was the Earles Cement quarry's, one, now the County Park. was connected by a tunnel that passed beneath the A63 to another quarry (to what in the 1980's became the now closed Humberfield Landfill). there had been a narrowgauge railway line through the tunnel to carry the chalk from the quarry to the works, where it ...read more here

Extracts From Bishop Burton & North Humberside books
This unforgettable village cupped in a hollow with a large wayside pond is the home of All Saints’ Church. In the chancel is a chalice brass to Vicar Johnson, 1460, one of the earliest examples of this kind of brass work. There is also a bust of John Wesley carved from an elm that grew on the green where he preached.

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.
