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.

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

Extracts From Tickton & North Humberside books
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.

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.

One mile inland is the church of St Mary, which includes the nave of
the Augustinian priory founded here in 1119 by Walter de Gant. It was
saved from destruction at the Dissolution as it was already in use as a
parish church. The Bayle Gate across the green, built in 1388, was at
various times a courtroom, barracks, a prison and finally a school.
