Evacuees From Hull In Wwii
A Memory of Gilberdyke.
I have never been to Gilberdyke, but I recall that my grandmother, Ivy Ruston, took her 2 younger daughters, Mabel and Dorothy, to lodge in Gilberdyke when the bombing began in Hull.
My grandfather, Harry Ruston, a signals inspector on the LNER railway, knew someone connected with the railway in Gilberdyke who offered Ivy and the girls a safe home away from the bombing.
If anyone has any recollections of, or connections to, a family from Hull coming to live in Gilberdyke at this time, I would be very pleased to hear from them. If there was a station in the village, it might have been the station master's family who took them in.
