The Candy Store Prestongate

The owner of the TV shop was Dennis Pelling not Pilling.

I do remember buying the Beatles , She loves you at a record shop on Preston Gate....I think they called it Crecent Library

Used to go into the Candy Store for Jublys @ 4d.
Also used to have my hair cut in Carlin's the barber, early mid 50's. Mrs Carlin was a teacher at Hessle C of E.
I always remember that barbers when I smell Brylcreme!
Also in Prestongate, Browns the butcher, had a licensed abattoir around the back I recall. Susan Brown went to Hessle C of E.
Top house was spit and sawdust, old men in the back room with dogs under benches.
Ridsdale and Walker had a coal yard halfway down on the right of the picture.
Used to get Sunday papers from a private house, halfway down on the left of the picture.
Wow all this off the top of my head after 50+ years.
Live in London now.

My grandmother's sister Mary lived in a house down preston gate which I believe is now a flower shop on the left hand side as you go down.
My grandmother Emily Hinson and her sisters were all brought up in a cottage down Eastgate, before her marriage her surname was Wallice, when she was married she live down Grove Hill and had 7 children.
I spent many a happy day as a child living and playing in Hessle
and down by the river.I was married in All Saint church in the sixties and have now lived in Spain for over 30 years.
My grandmother would never have believed all the changes there have been in my life and the village. Susan
