North Humberside memories
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.

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

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

Extracts From Keyingham & North Humberside books
The village lies some nine miles from Hull. Near the centre
of the village is the base of an ancient cross, consisting of
the lower part of the shaft and elevated on three steps. On
the sides are blank shields. The photographer pictured the
structure at such an angle that it appeared as if the telegraph
pole was mounted on the Cross!

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.
An extract from from"Humberside Pocket Album".
Protected on the north-east by the
great headland of Flamborough,
there are long stretches of fine
sand both north and south of
the harbour. Away from the cold
winds, the Victorian gentry were
able to pursue their favourite
pastime - a gentle stroll.

This used to be the most genteel of the Yorkshire seaside
resorts, a view that is exemplified by the promenading of the
nouveau riche in this 1920s photograph.
