I am always adding new photos to my OLD PHOTOGRAPHS PAGES - click here for pictures of Goole, Howden and the surrounding villages...
Recently added - Gilberdyke history and Laxton history
These pages are the beginning of a series which will eventually include material on the history of Goole drawn from my own archives. I have been writing and teaching about the town's history for over 30 years and have a wealth of information, booklets, maps and pictures about most aspects of Goole's history.
On these pages I wish to share some of my information with anyone interested in Goole's history.
I also undertake family, local background and house research on a professional basis and can provide digital copies of old photographs from my large collection covering Goole and the surrounding area.
