Rip Laura
This may not be relevant to many people or even to this photograph, but Laura Torn, sadly, brutally murdered, a resident of Owston Ferry, was a good friend to many. My main memory of Laura is biking down the village to the shop with her. She was a great girl, fantastic friend and super sister. RIP Laura - you will never be forgotten nor will our time in Owston Ferry as kids, playing on the reck, camping out, and enjoying life in Owston Ferry as many people did through the years, a lovely place. I look back on my time there with fond memories, and I am grateful to have known Laura Torn for the time that I did. What a tragic loss of life. Last edited: 13/03/2007 21:54 by Zoe Smalley |

 Epworth, Market Place c1965 (ref: E117008) |
Manor Court House A memory of Epworth, South Yorkshire The building behind the Market Cross with the arched windows is the Manor Court House, a grade II listed building. It is owned by the Epworth Mechanics' Institute Library, which still operates from the upper floor. The Library was formed in 1837 by William Read, who owned a business based at Albion House on Albion Hill. The Manor Court House is not the original, being built in 1803, but retains the character of the first building. The archways originally held the Shambles, a small market and the Market Cross has moved and used to be surmounted by a stone column. Last edited: 15/08/2006 00:40 by Peter Frost |

1876 Drowning Of My Great Grandfather A memory of Keadby, South Humberside I recently visited Goole in search of records of my maternal ancestry. I discovered that my great grand father Bernard Knowles Brook and his 6-yr-old son George from Goole were drowned at Keadby on 9 July 1876. I understand that his wife and probably also my then 1-yr-old grandfather Matthew Moorhouse Brook were nearby on the "Eagle" when the drowning occurred from a small boat from the "Eagle". I would like to know more about what happened. Is it possible that they were affected by the bore? The records in a Goole newspaper suggest that a strong wind gust overturned the boat at the time when a strong current was running. Any further information on Bernard Brook and his family and particularly about Matthew Moorhouse Brook would be most welcome. Posted: 14/10/2008 05:18 by Brian Deverall |

 Crowle, High Street c1960 (ref: C346025) |
98 & 100 High Street A memory of Crowle, South Humberside These two shops in the High Street in Crowle were owned by my grandmother Rose Raper. They were handed down to my father and aunt. My dad Raymond Raper had the grocers shop at number 98 and we lived above the shop until I was ten years old in 1963. My dad continued to work in the shop until his retirement in 1984. The shop at 100 was owned by my aunt Winnie Underwood. She had a drapery shop and her husband ran the post office at the back of the premises. Posted: 07/11/2006 19:14 by Rachel Ross |

19 Wrawby Street Brigg A memory of Brigg, South Humberside Mine isn't a personal memory as such but the photograph of Wrawby Street shows on the right handside a fish and chip shop. This double fronted shop is now a travel agents and still has the old bay windows that I have seen on an earlier photograph where a sign proudly announced that it was a Tea Shop and the caption said that the owner was a Mrs Sharp. Mrs Sarah Jane Sharp, nee Garthwaite, was my great great grandmother and I have a post card addressed to my grandparents, Mary Ellen Chadwick and Lionel McMahon, who were visting there in 1907, the year before they were married. Lionel was born in 1881 at 2 Forrester Street, at that time the home of Mrs Sharp, his maternal grandmother, although his family home was Bolton in Lancashire. Sadly Lionel's mother died when he was three and I suspect Lionel was brought up by his grandmother until his father, from Ireland, remarried another fairly local girl, Bertha Anne Doughty from Barton upon Humber. I have recently made a few visits to Brigg and thrilled that very little has changed, my grandfather would feel quite at home there if he was still alive!
