Such wonderful memories of the excitement of saving up pocket money for Hull Fair. The walk from Bricknell Ave down Chanterlands. I was 10 in 1965 and my father who was in Hull fire brigade would be on fire duty. The smells of hot dogs, burgers and stalls with pomegranates and coconuts. Oh happy days and nights. ❤

We used to walk from Bricknel Ave very evocative. I have been wondering about someone I knew around 1985-87 Pippa Laws who worked in a shop outside Hull Grammar. We exchanged letters when she moved to London but lost touch. I saw your name and thought it was worth asking if you are by any chance related?

@@barrytraversen2850 sorry, no. Laws is my married name and I left Hull in 1971. I did have a friend though, who's parents ran the Marrowbone and Cleaver pub. Also my brother attended the grammer school. Life was so much fun in those days. Kelvin Hall was my senior school. William Patterson (Bill) was the headmaster,

Great film record. I was there in '73 as a young teen. Every time I hear Elton John's Crocodile Rock, I think of the waltzer at Hull Fair.

Priceless memories, I was 10 years old in 1973 and would have been at the fair virtually every night, in your video I have seen images such as The Caterpillar that I haven’t seen for 50 years…thank you so much.

I twagged school for a week to work at Hull Fair, looking after the worlds smallest horse for the worlds smallest man which basically was a Shetland pony owned by an alcoholic dwarf who spent too much time in The George on the corner of Walton Street.
