Thanks for sharing.

My memories of Hull started decades ago when I was training, a 3am start at the fish docks.
My dad move to Hornsea to retire and I have many memories of taking the kids to Hull when we went to see him.
Very friendly people as well.
I go to Hornsea a lot just for a walk along the front. It's a pleasant village.
You've definitely given me a good idea for a future photo session for this thread. I'll see if I can get there maybe next week

I very nearly have these photos though because as I took my jacket out of my car boot this lunchtime, I didn't notice my phone had fallen out under my car.
I was panicking in the pub where I met my friend for a coffee so I retraced my steps and luckily I saw it!
That would have just added to my problems nicely!

No, you don't really want any more problems, unless you are a real glutton for punishment!

Re: Images of Hull
Great photos, Floydy. I have often been to Hull on Genealogy research trips. A lot of my extended family came from there - some stories/portraits of their exploits are now in the Maritime Museum there.As the family archivist I have inherited/been given several interesting documents - one of which is an apprenticeship indenture dating from the time of George III. The young man was training with a Hull Shipwright and, eventually, became a Master Carpenter.

Re: Images of Hull
FloydyExcellent photos, telling a story
Ships of all kind fascinate me
Is there still a working Shipyard in Hull, where many famous Ships were built?
I used to live in New Brighton Wallasey across the Mersey and at the Weekend all the Stevadores from Liverpool Docks use to come and frequent the Pubs.they seem to have lots of money to spend.
At closing time, they use to come out singing 'Maggie May'

The Maritime Museum has just been given a Lotto and government grant for a complete refurbish with some new attractions (obviously the glorious exterior of the building will not be touched) and I last went there in the spring to have a look around. It's very interesting and there is a rich history in Hull of course

I don't think there is a shipyard as such anymore but there are a couple on the Marina I saw that repair them, some large boatyards.
We have a Maritime Weekend each year that sees a lot of the old town pubs partaking in sea shanties and folk songs. People just simply turn up and tell their tales of the sea, mostly old fishermen. It's very interesting and also poignant too.
