I lived in Hull in the 60's and went to Endike Lane primary school and then the Grammar School for a while. Does anyone remember the Albert Avenue baths with the freezing cold open air pool?! Also Hull Fair with its flea circus, wall of death and freak shows?

McManus		03-Feb-2011 09:37
My parents and I were wartime refugees here from France. A tragedy for my parents but maybe lucky for me who grew up bilingual. We lived above the National Provincial bank on Hessle Rd. then in Salisbury St. I last saw Hull in 1978. Thanks for the memories, you're a great photographer!

First of all - great photos. In answer to Shiela's post. I lived down (little) Wyndham Street from 1947 to 1958, and I rememebr Elliots Fish and Chip Shop well. In fact I was never out of there! I went to St Wifred's RC School in Saner St, just off Anlaby Rd. I don't suppose anyone has any photos or street maps of that area around that time?

janej		13-Jul-2010 15:30
Has anyone got any old photos of fountain street on anlaby road round about 1958, the street was knocked down round about 1970,

Sheila		20-Jun-2010 17:54
Hi Anyone remember Wyndham Street off Argyle street. Frank Elliotts fish shop at the corner was always full, and Newnhams corner shop was at the Wenlock Street end. I lived down Crystal Avenue in the 1950s-1960s.

Brian Wilkinson		13-Jul-2009 03:42
Really great shots and catches most of my feeling of Hull....Long gone many years. Not sure if this is the correct venue to request and if not perhaps someone may advise on how to seek 'all of the Norwood Street crowd from the early 1950's---Ken Mumby, Patricai Snell, Jennifer Wood, Brian Smith, Jeff Dixon, Gilbert Barnett, Hilda Thomson, Val Fox..... Anyone like to make contact with Brian Wilkinson,' bwilkinson@cuel.co.th.

Excellent site!!Lived in Wyndham street(Lincoln Villas)from 1948 until 1958 and went to Londsborough Street school! At the bottom of the street was a coal merchant near to the railway called Arny Hawkins.At the age of 10 moved to Greatfield Estate and went to Hopewell Road juniors later Jervis High school Bilton Grange. Later married and moved to Leeds then abroad. Pictures bring back lots of great memories, Locarno, ABC Cinema etc; Any photos from these times would be grately appreciated...a real pity that the old hull pictures are no longer on this site

Lovely pictures, brought back loads of memories, I used to live in Beverley - went to Hull often. Fond memories of the Kardomah cafe! Bladons, and Thornton Varleys! and Hull market, worked in Hull for a while, I remember all the ships, the docks used to be so busy...... I am searching for a picture of the Regal Cinema (1956 approx) in Beverley, anyone know where I can find one?

Gary Clark. The city of my birth, my wifes birth, my parents and all three daughters and four grand children. I love Hull. This site is excellent and well done to all involved. There are countless more views/buildings/places/ people to photograph. I hope you managed to include many more ie; The Avenues, Beverley High Road (some beautiful houses) Newland Park, Oak Road park and lake, Bankside, The Whalebone pub, The Polar Bear pub, I could be here all day, very well done.

Amazing collection of images. I've just purchased a Canon Powershot G9 and was looking online for some ideas of landmarks around Hull to go and put it through its paces. Feeling really inspired. Thanks for sharing.

T.M.Cawthorn		17-Jun-2008 12:40
Interesting trivia from 1941.The week of the bombing of the Cecil cinema in 1941 the film showing had been Charlie Chaplins "The Great Dictator".Aprox "2 weeks later The National cinema on Beverley road received a direct hit whilst also showing "The Great Dictator".The next scheduled showing of the film was at the "Monica" cinema on Newland avenue during which week a bomb landed on the property next door.Was Hitler trying to tell us something?

ann athraby		27-May-2008 01:27
no-one seems to mention the fish and chip shops of hull very often . there was one down st marks street cant recall the name and greenland fish shop near lister street and cogan street. it was a man named nasser athraby that owned it . he was a arab and i married his son . hence the surname.my aunties also owned second hand shops ... aunt kitty down craven street and one opposite some years later and aunt irene and winnie down beeton street and then holderness road . they actually got another one further up holderness road later on . my uncle ronnie used to sell hotdogs around the clubs.my name then was ann joyce.my father was called bill and my grandad was tommy giblin they used to sell icecream for stevens.. does any one also remmember gus who used to go round with an icecream van. i used to go to st mary's school down wilton street . i would love to hear from anyone who did also.
