Old photos of Eastrington, East Yorkshire

 

This gallery is a collection of pictures of Eastrington which show the village and its inhabitants and which, I hope, will evoke a few memories. Below, to start things off, are pictures taken of the Eastrington show committee, of fancy dress winners and pictures taken at the village jubilee celebrations in 1977. If you can name any of those shown please get in touch!

If you have an old village picture which you think would be of interest to others I would be happy to display it here.

Click on the thumbnails to see a full size view.

More old pictures of local villages and towns (Howden, Goole, Reedness etc.) are available on the old photographs page ... also see the mystery gallery of unidentified local East Yorkshire places and people from the 1950s onwards. Can you help identify any of the pictures?
