No Houses!
This photo shows the street on which we lived around 1948 - but before the houses were built! We lived at 15 Woodcock Road, right across from what was known as Donkey Lane, which was a short cut to the centre of the village and to the school. There was a fisherman's shack on Donkey Lane, where we could get some freshly boiled crabs legs to eat on the way to school. Later, in the early '50s we lived on Flamborough Head, where my father was the manager of the Flamboro Head Golf Club for a number of years. Really, my most favourite childhood memories took place in these homes. Posted: 25/02/2007 01:07 by Kathy Bousquet |

 Bridlington, the Yorkshire Belle 1955 (ref: B206261) |
Year: 1955
The Yorkshire Belle
I spent many holidays in Bridlington as a child, my aunt and uncle lived here in a prefab near the Priory Church so each summer this is where we came. I have fond memories of the Yorkshire Belle, it seemed much bigger somehow then but perhaps it was me who was much smaller! I have now retired to Bridlington and the Yorkshire Belle still does it's sailings to Flamboro Head and back. Posted: 28/11/2006 07:46 by Susan Peel |

Black Bull
I will always remember nights sat outside the Black Bull with my parents and 2 sisters. Although it was August, the weather was chilly. There was a juke box out back on a sort of covered terrace and every time I hear 'Johnny Remember Me' by John Leyton, I am transported back to Barmston. We stayed in a tiny caravan on what is now the huge Barmston Beach Haven site and there was just one tiny shop.We had to walk into the village for certain things and as it rained plenty,the road was covered in huge slugs!! We did have the odd sunny day and have photos of us near those huge conrete blocks that sat on the beach.I remember the corn stooks in the fields,so much nicer than the rolls of it you see nowadays.I now have a caravan at Ulrome and visit the Black Bull when we are over but as us children were never allowed inside,I can,t say whether it has changed or not but the back terrace has and alas,the jukebox and 'Johnny Remember Me'are long gone.Happy days that I will always remember.

Wynton cafe, on the clifftops
I would love to hear from anybody that remembers WYNTON CAFE that was situated on the south cliffs at Barmston. My parents, Terry & Ida McGuire owned & ran the cafe from approx 1966 to 1970. I was just a boy at the time and have very fond memories of Barmston, the hot summers and the cold, isolated snowy winters. I remember standing and watching several bungalows and chalets disappear over the cliffs, my mum would always tell me off for what seemed to me at the time a very exciting adventure. I would go on 'expeditions' alone except for our alsatian 'Zena' and lurcher 'Sheba', and me - equipped with a catapault, a fishing line and a bag of sweets... I would walk on the cliffs or the beach to Barmston drain and just play around for hours in and around my den which was an old WW2 blockhouse which I believe is still there today. I often go back to Barmston - I take my children and tell them of my fascinating childhood adventures. Wynton Cafe has long gone, in fact earlier this year I worked for 'Park Resorts' holiday camp at Barmston and had a walk round the old cafe site. I found the remains of the original cafe footings along with 'Tom Watsons' amusement arcades footings. I must say it really did bring a tear to my eye... Yeah, I loved my childhood at Barmston, except for the long cold walk down to the Skipsea school bus pick up point outside the Black Bull pub! Aaahh, great days.......

 Ulrome, Top View Stores c1955 (ref: u34059) |
Year: 1950
Top View Stores
I lived at the house on the left - The Chalet. I lived here from 1938 -1959. The eastern end of the house was the village shop and was known as Top View Stores. Records of the house were traced back as early as 1784. When the roof was recently refurbished, the original timbers and roof joists were un-trimmed and had the branch stumps attached. The footings for the walls also consisted of large boulders dating back to its construction and were obtained from the beach nearby. In 1947 the snow was higher than the walls and fences at the front of the house. During WW2 the west end of the house was used by troops based nearby for recreation and village whist drives.
