Can you help? All these pictures have come to me with very little information. Many of them appeared in the Goole Times but I do not know when and in most cases I do not know who the people are or where the photograph was taken. A few are taken from glass negatives and are probably of villages in the Goole and Howden area but most were taken at events around Goole, Howden, Snaith and the surrounding villages. There are old photos of bonny baby competitions from Hook Gala, of school trips leaving Goole railway station, of old folks' parties, Goole nurses, golden weddings and many others dating from the 1950s onwards.

I would love to hear from anybody who knows anything about these pictures! If you would like high-quality prints of any of them let me know and I will give you a quotation depending on the size you would like.
