Malc Ripley.
Hi no 19 is not Patricia Horseman, she was in class below this been aged 8 at this time. Also she doesn’t recall a Barbara Ketley
The only one I knew personally was Peter Gant, who lived down Ketwell Lane and was in a partnership with his father, but didn’t know he’d eventually gone to London. I was a friend of his younger sister Rita and I remember him building a canoe from the (then) new fibre glass.
Jim,
I was a good friend of your Dad, we used to talk cricket usually whenever I came into Hedon , he used to be out with his dog sometimes.Albert used to wave to me when I was Umpiring at Middle Lane – that’s a long time ago however…… His Dad – they lived in Elder grove then , had a coat with a Hull City badge on it, I recollect, this was before they moved onto Westlands. Happy days!
Hi Malc
My Dad is at No2 he would have been 10 in 1948 I also know Siggy ( Roy Sigsworth ) He moved out Keyingham way.
My dad went to school With hos Cousin Colin Nelthorpe who may be one of your unknowns but I.m not 100 percent sure. After this pic my dad had to go to Withernsea school everyday becauae South Holderness wasnt built then….
By the way Thanks for the pic Malc.
Angela /Lisa
Half time at the rugby League, thanks for that, yes good days, please give them both my best wishes too!
Lisa, please tell Malcolm I’m still Umpiring , 53 seasons on – come April, all being well! As he played for SHCC also. Cheers, Malc.
