South Humberside memories
The Lee Family
John Lee lived in Frodingham in the 17th century (poss16th century), he was a cabinet maker.
Old Brough
When I came to live at Brough there were two shops, plenty of banks and churches and two pubs, the Buccaneer and the Ferry Inn. I visited both on numerous occasions. I worked at both the timber yard and what was then Hawker Siddleys. I was 25 years at Brough. I visited a month ago and didn't know it, the merger with Elloughton is amazing, the new housing is vast . It is not like the old Brough at all, though Station Road hasn't changed that much since the old days.
Brough County Primary School
My twin sister Pat and I attended Brough School from the age of 5 years old, along with other children from Brantingham. We travelled on the bus to School every day, which stopped outside the Triton near the War Memorial. Sometimes in winter when the bus didn't turn up because of the deep snow we would have to walk to school which was quite a long way for a child, and then had to walk back home again after school. We attended Brough school until we took our 11+ exams which we failed and we were then all moved on to Welton school. We made many friends in Brough while we attended the school there and we then moved to the other school with them too. We got to know Brough quite well as we continued to visit our friends homes as they each lived in different parts of Brough. Like all villages over the years it has... Read more
Cowgate
The view is of Cowgate looking south. The white building in the background is the Green Dragon Inn - once a haunt of Dick Turpin. The beck, mill dam and church are just to the left. Welton once had 3 water mills - the last of which was working into the 1950s
Welton School
My sister Pat and I attended Welton School along with pupils from Brough and Brantingham after the 1950s. I am one of the Medforth twins from Brantingham (Roslyn). I remember we had a canteen at the school which served up some good dinners, except some of the puddings, tapioca was one, we all called it frogspawn pudding! The toilets were way out at the other side of the playground and were freezing cold in the wintertime. I remember some of the teachers there, Mr & Mrs Hood, Mr Scott, Mr Marshall, and Mr Freear was the headmaster, not a man to be on the wrong side of as he kept a cane or two in his office, which a few of the boys had a taste of, much to their sorrow! We had a variation of lessons, besides the usual ones, we had Cookery, Needlework, Art and Science. The boys had their Woodwork and Metalwork classes. We also belonged in the choir at school, and we entered some of the... Read more
Hollidays
This picture shows Hollidays livery. I am George Holliday's great grand daughter. My aunt used to talk about where the shop was and while I don't remember it, I do remember her talking about it. It was fascinating to find this picture, which ties in exactly with what she said!
Great Grandad's House
My great grandad lived and worked on the right of this photo. I'm not 100\% sure which house but the location fits with census returns and what I've been told. The sign may say his name, I can't make it out clearly enough to be certain.
