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.

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

Abbey walk
I remember the old houses opposite our house being flattened to make way for the multi-storey car park. It was exciting watching the construction traffic. I was 4. Once the shell was built the workforce always finished at 7 in the evening and all the floodlights went off. I think it was completed in early 1970 because I recall playing on the ground floor on a summer Sunday when the car park was closed. My mate and I were playing football with the lads from Garden Street. The ball echoed as the car park was empty. The other place for football was 'round the back' in Gresswell's garage yard, an enclosed stadium! It is now Somerfield's supermarket.

Extracts From Patrington & 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.

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.
