Holderness Hunt
Started work here at the Kennels, Old Joe was the head groom, Mr Harold Horbury, huntsman and Earnie, the whip. Young Starky was the terrier boy. I lodged with Mr and Mrs Horbury. Wage £2.10 - board £2.00 per week. Made friends with the Tate family. (nee Jane Jennings)
Brumby, Wilson The Sweet Shop. 1966 Onwards.
I can remember going to the sweet shop in front of the church and spending my pennies. It always fascinated me that a shop was also someone's home. I can recall the long summers playing out in the long orchard (probably not long at all) which was at the end of Edwins Garth, we would call on The Towse children. I must have been a real tomboy as I can't recall playing with any girls in the village.
I can still recall going to meet and see my dad at "Stivvies" Farmand being sat on the pony there.
We would go to Spring Wells and the monkey run at the top of Londesborough Road as we got older.
My favourite memory was travelling to Beverley on the train to Market Weighton with my Auntie Doris, and coming home again to mum and dad after a weekend away.
I loved to go to watch the Kiplingcoates Derby. "Fezzie" watching with my brothers and dad.

Wednesday Market Place
Hi, I would just like to add that the old photographs in this collection of Beverley, Market Places, are indeed old photographs of Saturday Market. That is, all except B80045 which is a photograph of Wednesday Market. The Fiveways Cafe in Wednesday Market was named Fiveways as you can arrive at it from five different roads.
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.
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.
Beck Road South Now Waterside Road
I lived with my family, the Widdowsons, at 6 Beck Road South from 1938 to the late 50s. Dad, Douglas, was the Branch Manager at the Co-op at Register Square in town. I remember playing cricket on Crane Hill with our friends. Because we were not 'professionals' the ball was given a swipe and inevitably ended up in the Beck - all the time. We had an old bucket on a piece of string to fish it out. It was the only ball we had - 'it was wartime' we were told over and over again. The ball was always wet and black and smelly. The Beck was heavily polluted in those days. But we never caught anything and, thankfully, never fell in. We played on the road as well because there were no cars, and I have plenty of scars on my legs and arms from falling between the wickets as we tried to score runs. I remember the Cherry twins, Bette and Mary and the Scaife... Read more
Highgate
I used to stay in Beverley with my Aunt who lived at 45 Highgate. She used to knit toys and sell them at her front door, the money she raised went to Beverley Minster to buy cassocks for the choir. Her name was Gertie Forest, she lived until she was 104 years old. My grandparent Taylor had a farm at Figham called Brookholme which I understand is now a housing estate,my grandfather used to grade the leathers at Hodson's Tannery.
