    Lewis Carroll got the idea for the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland from a statue in St Mary's Church in Beverley.

    Was the shop close to St Nicholas Avenue, not far from Pickering Road (and KHS)? I remember John Alderton's dad as being a connoisseur of fine wines because he used to have a sign in the window that said "Plonk - Matured In The Wood" .

    My three were all born in Hull - Johnson, MacKaill and Whitfield. All became famous after leaving Hull. Mackaill ran away as a teenager before ultimately reaching the USA to begin her acting career.
