South Humberside memories
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... ...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.

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.

Extracts From Barnoldby-Le-Beck & South Humberside books
This picture is one of the great views of Cornwall, looking down St Stephen’s Hill towards the valley of the River Kensey, with the jumble of houses clinging to the hillside beyond, capped by the castle on its hill 500 feet above sea level. To the left is the tower of St Mary Magdalene. This view remains almost unchanged today, but with one very important exception: the spire of the Central Methodist church, built in 1870, was demolished in 1984, changing the skyline for ever.

Race Hill was once the main road into Launceston from the south; it leads down to the South Gate, which is the last remnant of the old town walls. The North and West gates were demolished in 1832 and 1812 respectively. The Plymouth and Devonport Inn, whose sign can just be seen to the right of the arch, is now the Newmarket.

This photograph was taken from Windmill Hill, the only point in the town that is higher than the castle. The road curving up to the left of the castle is Roydon Road, known at this time as Zulu Road. In the foreground, the area right of the road is now a new estate, and opposite is a 1930s brick terrace. The little stone building on the left still stands, and is used as a store.
An extract from from"Hull Town and City Memories".
Launceston Castle is of the classic motte and bailey design: a high central tower stands on a mound surrounded by the bailey defences. The apparent slight lean of the tower is no optical illusion, nor is it the fault of the photographer; it actually leans more than three feet in its forty-foot height, and had to undergo serious repair work in the 1960s to prevent it collapsing.
An extract from from"Hull Town and City Memories".
This, the south gate to the castle keep, is today the main entrance, but it is thought that in the castle’s heyday the north gate was the main access. Today the wooden gates are gone, and so is the fountain in the road, erected by the Hender family in memory of their son Leonard, who drowned near Land’s End in 1894. The fountain was removed during road improvements in the 1980s; it was rescued from the council dump by the Old Cornwall Society, and was re-erected near the reservoir on Windmill Hill.
