Hull Bygone Days

Another in the series documenting Hull's History, presented by Ronald Fairfax.

[@commie3000]

Wow. I adore my hometown of Hull and this is a beautiful tapestry of its history. We've had it hard, we were left behind and overlooked but look at this place now. What an amazing time to be a part of this glorious city.

The very brief shot of the blind fella at 0:48 who used to play his accordion down Whitefriargate in the 80s and early 90s. Wow.

[@ClotEastwood]

I caught him as well . . . Like seeing an old mate.

East Yorkshire.

@@railway-share3820 East Riding of Yorkshire. Either way you're wrong. She was referring to Humberside not Yorkshire county.

Excellent vid about my home town. Left four decades back , but extremely fond memories of growing up there....not so of Hymers College though which had some truly dreadful and uninspiring teachers .

[@gdavidyorke7066]

These videos are brilliant.

[@nervo6321]

Really well put together.....brilliant....

[@fearlessjoebanzai]

"I got it in the Boyes' sale", brilliant. Not much has changed in the East Riding.

[@alanward4506]

Great films thank you.The HRI footage interested me,my grandmother lived in Norway Terrace,Lansdowne Street which ran alongside the hospital building and waas demolished to make way for the nurses home in about 1957.Although the street still exists it no longer has a name plate,although Linnaeus Street opposite retains a name sign but no houses.

[@Hugh.G.Rectionx]

im sure this guy was a teacher at my primary school. all i can really remember about him was he was called Mr Fairfax (obviously), he filmed a few documentaries and he was a descendant of Sir Thomas Fairfax. i think he also created some early computer games but i might be getting him mixed up with another teacher on that one

Well done Hull Bygone days, what an enjoyable, well edited video, some educational in formation too. I did nt realise Cecil theatre, and i were the same age, i remember what is now willimingham tip, was the Foster st train station, where i would cross the road with my gran to catch the train to Withernsea, I believe the B O C M factory was located at the bottom of the street, leading to the old wimcomlee swing bridge, st saviours church was at the top of Foster st, which is now Brookes tiles, it double as an air shelter....Withernsea st next to Foster st was bombed flat, probably trying to hit the rail line....

[@judyroper633]

Unbelievable. Wish we could turn the clocks back

[@markhp99]

[@pufango4059]

No body speaks like this in Hull

[@PaulSaether]

Sounds like a 'Hovis' advert. ("Father always used to say...") "I Remember lots of this and I cringe to think of these as "Bygone Days". Mind you, when he was seven or so, my son once asked me: "Dad, What was it like in the OLDEN DAYS?" I'm 72 and I do not believe that we Hippies lived in The Olden Days. But, I guess, we did. Punks are Grandparents now.

[@davedixon2068]

My wake up call for my age was walking round a museum in Bourton on the Water and seeing an MG 1100 an exact type I used to own when I was about 20.

[@jeffoliver2298]

Third largest port in the kingdom, it says. This obviously refers to the amount of trade. It's curious how Hull never got a lot bigger, in terms of square-miles of land and population, as a city then. London was obviously the largest port in terms of trade, I'm guessing Liverpool or Glasgow was the second. This would mean Hull was bigger commercially than Liverpool or Glasgow - whichever one wasn't the second - and bigger than Bristol. Hull is still much smaller, in terms of the size of the city, and population, than those places - and prior to World War 2, before many of the estates of Hull were built, Hull was even smaller still. It's a strange thing.

[@g13n79]

We over saturated the fishing industry in Hull and it stifled production.

[@jemmajames6719]

I think we had a lot higher population before the war!

[@carlhancock6991]

Came hoping to see the history of bishop lane, You covered Scale lane, do you have any Info on bishop lane? The properties are haunted down there!

[@Adam_Outdoors]

No they're not. Grow up.

[@DamonWatson]

@@Adam_Outdoors you grow up idiot, I lived in one

[@Adam_Outdoors]

@@DamonWatson So have I! So what? You "thinking" they're haunted doesn't mean they are. You're talking utter nonsense. You hearing things and mind playing tricks on you doesn't mean that spirit exist or that if they do they're n the buildings. Again, grow up you fool.

[@DamonWatson]

@@Adam_Outdoors clearly your deluded. I know what I experienced, don’t speak to people like a dickhead you know nothing about me or that situation so shut up.

[@Adam_Outdoors]

@@DamonWatson Firstly it's "You're" not "Your". They're two different words/meanings. Second, How am I the deluded one when it's you who thinks ghosts exist and doesn't have the mental capacity to understand why he has experienced these things?

Does anyone know what happened to Wm Jackson / Grandways? We had a Grandways in Bridlington a long time ago.

[@S3aChange]

They closed in Hull in... either the late 90s or early 2000s and became Jacksons Locals, now I think they're Sainsburys locals (or the ones I remember are anyway!).

[@dnakatomiuk]

They closed down and became Jackson's but then Sainsbury's bought them out I believe now they are all shut down. There's I think about 5 I know of Sutton Road, Charterlands, Newland, Beverly road/Clough road and Princess AVE but they used to be one on nearly every corner
