Although I never met my father as he died when I was a year old, my late mother told me he worked for Stephensons. I think he started work on a horse and rully because my mother used to have one of the brushes he used to groom the horse. During the war he used to take my mother and neighbours out into the country to escape the bombing to a farm at Coniston, they lived quite near to the docks ( Estcourt Street in East Hull) I think at this time he was actually diving a lorry. He later woked for Hull Corporation as a driver.  I am new to this great site.
