My dad used to laugh as we held our noses walking past there. They were great holidays.

My first and last jobs in Hull
This is a photo of the Derringham Branch of the Hull Savings Bank where I started as a junior bank clerk at the age of 16 on 31st August 1965, probably around the time when this photo was taken. It certainly looks right.
This was my first job after leaving Riley High School, just down the road from the bank. The heating in the building was powered by a big coal fired boiler in the cellar and one of my main tasks was to shovel coal down the coal chute and stoke the boiler, not what I had expected when I had applied for a job as a bank clerk and all this for the princely salary of ...read more here

Extracts From Hull & North Humberside books
The statue of William III, originally erected in 1734, stands
proudly in the centre, bisected by the tramlines. William has
moved several times over the years; he now sits above a Gents
urinal. The tower of the Holy Trinity Church peers over the
fine silk and jeweller’s stores.

The statue of Hull’s leading writer, Andrew Marvell, has been
moved; George Street became the new centre of entertainment.
Bars, bistros and night clubs flourish here.

The Humber is still a busy working area. However, the
promenade area has been taken over by the ubiquitous
bistros and wine bars.
