I lived in the square
I used to live in the square in one of the houses opposite the church. My father was in the navy at Spurn Head for a couple of years during the war. I went to the local school and I think my teacher was called Miss Skelton. I remember the awfull air raids, the night before we left for our other posting to Wales there was a terrible one, we were all sleeping at the local pub and my sister and I were so scared. My other sister joined the W.A.A.F, she used to do hairdressing in our front room. I remember there was a shop in the square, we used to play near the barn.My SURNAME was NURSE. ...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.

My first love at beacholme
I was probably only about 8 years old but I remember it oh so well. It was upstairs in the disco, she came from Leeds. We spent more holidays here than I can remember as a child, me, my sister Lorraine and my mam and dad Doreen and Maurice Horne. Sadly my dad's not with us now. We had some lovely times. I used to love the zoo which is now of course pPeasure Island. Oh and the paddling pool up by the boating lake.

Extracts From Easington & North Humberside books
Easington is set alongside the coast of the North Sea, some five miles north of Spurn Point. The road here winds down towards the sea, past the church of All Saints, with its decorative wrought-iron arch. Behind the church is an attached farm and tithe barn.
An extract from from"English Villages".
As with most rural churches, All Saints’ had
an attached farm and barn. The name ‘tithe’
indicates the building where tithes were stored,
a tithe being a tax or contribution of a tenth
part of one’s income for the support of a religious
establishment. ‘Tithe’ or ‘tenth’ derives from the
Old English word ‘teogotha’, and was usually in
the form of produce, not money.

The village is built up around the church, which had its 800th anniversary in 1990. Many of the villagers celebrated by taking part in a play written by Sheila Yeger, the famous playwright. The tithe barn with its thatched roof dates from the 14th century.
An extract from from"Yorkshire Coastal Memories Photographic Memories".
Greystone Bridge is ‘the fairest bridge in the two shires it links together’, according to Charles Henderson and Henry Coates in ‘Old Cornish Bridges and Streams’. Today it carries the A384 to Tavistock.
