I was brought up down Plane Street off Anlaby Road. Remember "Pools Corner" ."Bentleys Snowflake Laundrey" and the big methodist church. Used to go to Albert Avenue Lido in summer. Would walk into town
envying the "Ford Cortina's", "Hillman Avengers" and "Morris Marina's" at "Crystal" , "Triangle" and "Parish's" respectively. Would buy record's from "John Sheridan's" , "Strardisc" And downstairs in "Syds".Also "Barry's"
ex juke box stall in the market. Clothes shop at "Discount Menswear" (formerly Lipton's as mentioned earlier). They would never let you out!!. You went in for a shirt. you would come out with a shirt , Jumper, trousers & socks. Also "Western Jean Company" down Whiefriargate. Food delights included Bob Carvers chips and the dodgy hot dog cart in front of the ABC cinema. Finally used to walk home because of the stupid "Limited Stop" buses. Once got on one. its sailed passed Plane Street and wouldn't drop me until it got to "Fiveways"!! - Happy Days.

Born and bred Longhill, then moved to North Hull (craphole) then to Bransholme (The Garths) bearable up to a point. Spring Cottage, great, then York for several years, then elsewhere.
can you remember the 'ot cake man who used to go round derry bank, calvert road, priory road and setting dyke selling out of the back of his van. he used to bake em at his home on hove road i think? i never did find out what he shouted when he rang the hand bell. went summat like: "Opty 'ot cakes.....meat pies....fruit cakes..........and sugar doghnuts" Anyone know what he said?
that is true, even though he was told he didnt have it. sorry to be gruesome but i believe he put his head on the lines in front of a train near snuff mill in cott. he was very very depressed before he died, and like many around the club with me at the time, saw right through Don Robinson and Clifford Waite!!!
Poor Fred Ramsden , then again poor train driver..
I use to get my clobber from Arthur Masons , Levi Jeans , Tonics , Prince of Wales check , Brutus shirts Ben Shermans . Harrington jackets .
( I still wear the same stuff now )
A sheepskin from millets store ,
Quite often these things would be Free for some reason..
Also had a girlfriend who worked in Northerns
Before that army and navy store for Hob nail Army boots a quid a pair picked out of a pile of old Boots . Grandad vests , braces of course..
ee when we were lads and we lived in a shoe box in middle of road...

There where quite a few "mobile shops" back then, seeling Pop, Tea, sweets and basic groceries. But I very seldom crossed the railway tracks, that seperated Bricknell to Priory, when i was a kid living on fairfax ave (went to Appleton Primary, then Wyke Junior school, before moving to my Grandparents on 21st Ave). I used Jeff Barmby's newsagent, and got to know him and his wife quite well (still have a chat if we bump into each other at matches). He took his lad all over for Football training (was always dressed Liverpool kits).And in those years used to knock around with Nick's Mrs ( when she was Mandy Telford who went to Bricknell School, with Peter Hird, (who lived on Chants, and I believe has taken over his dads crane/lifting company), and her mate Debbie Adams used to live with her. We used to go St Aidens Disco, and Wyke youth club.)
Here's me blabbering on ,yet again.
Maybe I should try and write my memoirs, before I turn senile.
I remember that nutter !
Didn't he do a Custers Last Stand, when he was being evicted?
I haven't heard that name for years, my Grandma's house backed onto Flatty Dyke and she had a back gate that opened straight onto the path that ran along the bank. I used to go every Saturday, we'd go straight out the back to see if any new bikes had been chucked in, she was certain we'd drown one day.
I was born near East Park, but moved to Kirkella as a kid(Wolfreton School was considered quite posh at the time), went to London early 80's, moved back up to Beverley a decade later and have now been in North Cave for over 15 years.
Barry Nuttall, though wasnt that down Derringham Street?
Wyke Youth Club, we used to drink a keg of beer on the way and then go cause mayhem lol.
Great thread Boothferry
0 - 5 yrs = Routh, limited memories for obvious reasons but did make a start at Tickton Primary School
5 - 16 yrs = Kimberley Street, bit of a culture change but grew to love it, the hotcake shop at the top on (big) Kimberley Street, the little shop on West Parade that used to sell 'seperates', Hick's bakery shop were I used to get a breakfast bun on Clarendon Street, every morning while walking to Wilberforce, played on the bombed buildings, in Gloomy Wood (Hymers) collecting salamanders, duck eggs and having my first outdoor shag, she knows who she is
, playing tig in the woodyards, got locked in an airtight fridge in the old derelict Co-operative on Londesborough Street (****ing scary btw!) while playing hide & seek, crossing Argyle Street bridge whilst walking on the wall, sliding down the feed pipes on the upright oil tankers at the bottom of (little) Londesborough Street, eating the chips that I'd cooked that were covered in red sauce whilst sat on the hearth with one bar glowing on the gas fire, going next door to borrow 10p for the gas/leccy meter.......... and them returning the compliment, Thomas Stratton, Wilberforce (Margaret Street), Riley High, Stan Leeman's, the girls from Kingston High, Saturday morning Mecca then Picadish for gravy & chips then getting a train to Hessle to 'educate' the lasses
16 - 20 After the houses on Kimberley Street were torn down we moved to Bransholme, another culture shock but one that I just about coped with, at least the house was ****ing warm My Vespa 150, yeah I know Lambo I couldn't afford a Lambretta, my girlfriend who has now been my wife for 32 years, yeah I blame Bransholme for that too

I was born in the green keepers lodge corner of Willerby road and Hotham Raod & near Broad high way Pub, my Grand father was the first green keeper at Springhead when it opened. Moved to Anlaby common spent all my childhood there, went to Anlaby CPS then Wolfreton. Used to take the number 9 bus to Calvert lane to go to Boothferry park, Johnny Stephens who played right wing got on the same bus, always walked home to had money to buy some sweets.
I used to play for Schultz Youth Club, Fred was always there and Jack Taylor and his wife, brilliant people who gave up their time for kids to have somewhere to go. Fred may have been depressed about the situation at City mussy but i think they were closing Schultz school and i dont think he was relishing retirement. ****ing disgrace the council let a great sports facility like Schultz go to ruin.
Fred used to have a dossier on every player who played for him, how they got on etc. Skipper, O'Berg, Bob Hatton and ones that didnt make it too. I wonder what happened to all of his stuff.
