SUTTON in

HISTORY
Posted
on this page will be
links to
Online Books by
various authors
pertaining to the
older history of this
area; books that were
formerly thought of as
only being of interest
to 'antiquarians',
books that were rare
or very expensive.
A deeper interest in
the history of our
area, back into
ancient times perhaps
makes antiquarians of
us all.
Some of
these books are from

THOMAS
BLASHILL
SUTTON-IN-HOLDERNESS
THE MANOR, THE
BEREWIC, AND THE
VILLAGE COMMUNITY
1896.
This
first historic
book can only be
read online, by
going to the link
above, which then
opens in a new
browser window.
Using the above
link, this book
has over 340
pages, downloads
into your PDF
reader, and takes
a little while to
load; it's around
15Mb in size. Once
loaded, it's fully
searchable, and
zoomable, just as
with any other PDF
document.
Another interesting
link, to read
BLASHILL online
directly, and at

I have to admit, it
is good, an
impressive way to
read online.
The pages actually
'turn' as well.
And YES, it is FREE.
The HULL
POLL BOOK of 1835,
a list of all
voters, and just as
interesting, listing
all the streets in
Hull. There's
80-something pages,
the first pages are
blank; use your
mouse wheel within
the book to scroll.
Additionally, there
is a 'window
scroller' at the
side which works
independently of the
main window.
HULL POLL BOOK
1835
George
POULSON 1841
The history
and antiquities of
the seigniory of
Holderness
Use online, or read
here below.
As above, the first
page shown is the
cover;
use your scroll
wheel within the
book to scroll down.
Once loaded, it's
fully searchable,
and also fully
zoomable.
I'd be
first to admit, this
and others below are
not quite so easy to
read,
for a long read, as
Bashill's very clear
Sutton history above.
So think of them for
dipping into, for
research, and
accessible at home!
JAMES
JOSEPH SHEAHAN ..
1864
General and concise
history and
description

of
Kingston-upon-Hull

Considering the
discovery of King
Richard's bones under
a car park,
this may prove to be
rivetting reading to
serious historians.
But it is hard going
...
HISTORICAL
DIRECTORIES
for ENGLAND &
WALES
This link is a real
discovery
if you've never seen
it before;
Trade and
Business Directories
not just for Hull,
but many areas of
England & Wales.
If you're also
researching family
links in other towns
and counties,
this link could be a
real boon.
It has to open in a
new browser.
The first page has
separate links to 10
areas and regions;
choose yours, and away
you go.
For
a bit of light
reading,
continuing in the
historical genre,
a story of blood,
intrigue and
revolution;
A TALE OF
TWO CITIES
Book the Second
(being the
second of three
volumes of the
story)
by Charles
Dickens.
Enjoy.
Or this version ...

Other eBooks, or links
to them, may well
be added here in the
fullness of time.
