TALES
FROM THE EAST RIDING
Martin Limon
. . . a collection of local history
stories already published by magazines like the Yorkshire
Ridings Magazine and The Journal.
This fascinating new collection of tales of the East Riding
contains momentous events, true crimes, surprising incidents and
biographies of the area's famous sons and daughters. The stories
cover an area from York down to Hull and include such tales as:
Across the Humber, The Civil War in East Yorkshire, When Cholera
Came Calling, Mary Wollstonecraft in Georgian Beverley, William
Wilberforce, Airships Over East Yorkshire, Rogues' Gallery and
many more. There are stories of some the county's other famous
residents, Kay Kendall and Amy Johnson, as well as some
forgotten aspects of the region's past - including the crime
that shocked eighteenth-century Long Riston, as well as health
care in the area long before the arrival of the NHS. This book
will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of the
region, and also awaken memories of a bygone time for those who
worked or lived here.

... is a new
local history publication,
and is the sequel to 'Tales From the East Riding'
published by Tempus in November 2006.
Now on sale at local bookshops,
including Waterstones and WH Smith branches in Hull, Beverley and

NOSTALGIA IS A THING
OF THE PAST
For folks longing for a semblance of the past, even the
distant past in that far off childhood country called
Nostalgialand, we have a few copies of a new book to offer, by
former Sutton resident and long-time friend of
this museum, Andrew Suddaby.
The memories captured within are more
general to Britain of the 1940s and 50s,
but with nods to some Hull memories that
are not specific to Sutton, this short book
in a nice-sized font for easy reading in a
general tour of what we did, watched, bought
and listened to in the UK over 50 years ago.
Priced at £7.00 including UK only postage;
it is on offer inside the museum for £5
Sorry, overseas postage cannot be offered
right now, and in any case, the cost
would probably exceed that of the
book. See notes
above re postage to NZ!
All profits from sales of this book benefit the museum.

plus £2 p&p to UK only

SUTTON
BRANSHOLME
AND
WAWNE
no
longer a 'book',
but only on DVD-ROM --
also via online £5 download
Church
and People - a Celebration
by Merrill Rhodes
Sad to say,
this acclaimed book is now effectively 'out of print'. The
replacement of the book on DVD-ROM is still available.
This is a digitised copy, complete with all photos, all maps,
every paragraph exactly as Merrill wrote it, now on DVD and at
exactly the same price as when we last sold the book.
Not only that, we also offer a Digital Download of the complete
disc. See further below.
please note: this DVD is made for computers, PCs and laptops
running MS-Windows ;
not for TV via domestic DVD players.
Digital download should work on anything!
(works on some Tablets too, please check)
For anyone interested in local history, or who has an
interest in the historic families of
Sutton & Wawne, or who has recently moved
into the area, we think the DVD will be
just as popular as the book.
Files are in HTML format (same as web pages) and images are
JPEG; a whole-text version of all 12 chapters, without images,
is in doc, docx and rtf formats for easy searching and research.
This new photo-DVD, incorporating all of Merrill's book
including maps and photos, plus many more images of Sutton and
Wawne, including both ancient churches, is now on sale.
On-line Orders can now be taken, and the price is £10, plus any
post & packing as required.
As of July 2017, we have to state that
postage charges for destinations abroad are now most
prohibitive; the rate now to send one of our books to New
Zealand is over £8, effectively as much as the book. It seems
not that long ago we were sending DVDs to NZ for around
£4 -- so now much, much too expensive !
So much for Royal Mail
privatisation.
Sir
Roland Hill would have been disgusted!
Privateers would be a more apt description, akin to
highwaymen. I used to have such respect for our Royal Mail,
but now feel it's moved away from the great institution it
used to be.
What may be of greater help to folks abroad will be to be able
to view and read the entire disc online, being Merrill's book
in its entirety, and all the added photos and extras. This
became available on 30 October 2017 for the first time.
Payment for a physical disc by post, or the online version, can
also be taken by
BACS, or via PAYPAL;
we will send the account payment details to you.
The account details shown at the
bottom of our Friends page
is for where such donations can be made.
Please email us first, and let us know when you have sent your
payment through, and of course, your postal address, and on
arrival in our account, we will post you the disc, or email you
the online access link and password.
Once you have that, you are free to share
the details between family and friends.

OUR
PARISH BOOKLETS
are
our own mini publications by
The Sutton & Wawne Museum
We now have available two booklets;
one on each of our old parishes, copies are available inside the
museum on Fridays.
The one for Sutton and St James' parish is
a 12-page booklet giving a brief history of our ancient village,
also outlining the very close relationship with St Peter's at
Wawne. Also with brief details of how our Old School museum was
founded some 20 years ago.
The one for Wawne and St Peter's
is shorter,
at 8-pages, and is also a brief history of the ancient parish
formerly spelt at Waghen.
It also mentions the founding of the abbey of Meaux and the
religious influences on the wider area, in particular on both
St Peter's
and the founding of the more
distant St James' at Sutton.
They are ideal little booklets for
visitors to both villages, or our museum, who are seeking a
basic outline of these respective areas, perhaps having found
family history links here and visiting to research a grave or
school records, etc.
Much greater detail, a definitive
history of the whole area for the serious student, is available
on our own DVD-ROM above, containing the whole contents of the
now out-of-print publication by Merrill Rhodes, first published
in 2000 and reprinted in 2006.

HULL'S
OWN
AIR FORCE
STATION
by Leonard C
Bacon
in softback, A4 size.
ONLY AVAILABLE NOW ONLINE
via THE WAYBACK MACHINE
where we can show you how to download it.
We actually also have every page
downloaded already ready to copy to a memory stick for you.
We must add our own thanks that Len completed this history before
his untimely death on 23 Aug 2007.
I'm sure Len would have been
more than happy we are still able to make available all his hard
graft for like-minded veterans and all those 'who served' and
it wasn't in vain.
It is packed with information about all the units that served
at RAF Sutton on Hull until its closure, along with b&photos
and diagrams, and is a thoroughly comprehensive study of a time
that is still fondly remembered by older Sutton residents.
|
Whether recounting the days of the RAF
School of Fire-Fighting and Rescue, or of the wartime balloon
barrage crews, it is a fascinating read and the sales of the
book financed Len's project of the placing of a Blue Plaque
commemorating the RAF station inside Bransholme Library.
