Hi
My Grandad was born and married in the Sculcoates area, His name was Alfred John Smith born at 5 Wawne Terrace, Hodgson St, and his father before him, George John Smith was down as living at 4 Durham Terrace, Hodgson St. George John married Ethel Goodison, 122 Hodgson St.
Does anyone have any old photo's of the area, and is there anyone with these people in their tree.
Thanks

Hi Patsy
Hull County Council have historic photographs. They used to be available to view on line, but they are not at the moment. Their website states:
Our extensive photographic collection includes photographs and postcards held at the City Archives and The Local Studies Library which provide a visual history of the City and its surrounding areas from the late 19th century to the 1980s.
The photographs include those originally taken to support the work of the Housing Department and the City Engineer providing a unique record of the slum clearance programmes from the 1930s to the 1980s and the damage suffered by the City during the Second World War.
The postcards include the highly acclaimed Renton Heathcote collection, with postcards from the early 20th century to the 1990s, as well as collections deposited by individuals over the years.
At present only the details of the photographs are included and no images are accessible from this site. However, work is on-going to attach the images to the text and we hope to have this service available in the coming months.
In the meantime, if you find a photograph you would like to view or order, please call either the Hull City Archives or the Local Studies Library for further information.
They have said "In order that staff can prepare for the move to their new home in the Hull History Centre, the service is now closed to the public".
When the photographs will be available to view on line again, I have no idea. I see from the Hull History Centre website that the new building is supposed to be finished in Autumn 2009, so I'm not sure why they had to close the Archives service to the public so many months ago.

I bought loads of photos from them last year but, unfortunately, none of the Hodgson Street area, as none of my ancestors lived there.

Hello postylady
I have a living relative by marriage, who can reminisce all day about the Sculcoates district of Hull. Unfortunately, he's currently laid up in the York hospital after an unexpected op, otherwise I would phone him and ask him about the areas you mention. I will try and do this when he is better. 
In the meanwhile, if you're interested please have a look in my thread of "Lynch of Hull".
cheers

I have recently received an e-mail from Mr Richard Hayton, who runs the Yorkshirehistory.com site, who tells me that the Hull History Centre is due to reopen its new facility in September, this year.

From this list it looks like there's 3 photos of Hodgson Street for sale:
http://www.hullheritageprints.co.uk/list%20of%20streets.htm
My family lived in the Durham Street area and I didn't see any online photos of the short Terraces so I doubt if you'll ever discover an official photo of Durham Terrace.
If I can't find an old photo I look for the next best thing on the property for sale websites.
Cheers,
Rena

Hello Postylady
Albert's discharge from hospital was a little delayed, but we had a long chat to-day, and he remembers first hand, Hodgson St, very well. 
He says that there used to be a tannery there. The cowhides were tanned in preparation for attaching to the underside, fronts of the trawlers, so as to protect the fishing nets.
Next chat I will ask about your relatives, as he chatted for ages about his very good hospital experience! 
Cheers
Danchaslyn

Hi Dan
Thanks for the info, i didn't know there used to be a tanyard there, i know there is one down bankside area, or has that one closed now.
Glad to hear your relative is doing well. If you need any names of my relatives just ask, my relatives lived down york terrace, which was down hodgson st, and Durham Terrace off the same street.
Me my mam and dad used to go drinking on a weekend in a pub down Hodgson street, around 20 years ago, before i started doing my family tree, it's just strange that we never knew of the relevence of this street and our families.

Hello
Yes, Albert would love to know the names of your relatives,..........
Firstly, he wondered, LizzieW, if your relative, George William Wright, is connected in some way, to the William Wright Docks for the larger ships than the fishing trawlers? 
He also gave a very interesting description of the subway at the end of Witty St, which was the access to the fishing trawlers dock, which used to flood!
And, a pub, sounded like "Rainers", where the fisherman stopped in on their way home, after long trips away fishing nr Scapa Flow, pockets bulging with their wages, and splashed the cash'!
He remembers the tobacconist/sweet shop, selling newspapers as well.
AND, the customs man, who used to stand waiting for disembarking fishermen, and accost them, even though away on their trips, they hadn't actually landed anywhere else! 
He was always exempt from these searches, as he was wireless man, therefore allowed to disembark early, and never was accosted!
Cheers

Hi Dan,
By the way i'm Posty
Thanks for getting back, my grandad was called Alfred John Smith, married Beatrice Brumhead 1933, his father before him was George John Smith married Ethel Goodison, but maybe he might have known some of their siblings.
Alf was born 1910 in a place called 'wawne terrace' down hodgson street, then 'york terrace' before he was married, his father was down as a dock labourer, although he had served in the boer and ww1.
I have heard of the pub 'rainers' i'm sure it is still standing, will have to find out.
Thanks again Dan
