To Hull and Back

Memoirs of the youngest child of a family of ten, borne in Barmston Street, Hull, East Yorkshire, England. These are memoirs which span 1942 to the 1970's. No it is not primarily another book about the Second World War. It starts there but moves through the whole life of my family and I until now I am the last one standing, but I now have a new family, my children, the grand children and great-grandchildren of my family. My journey is back to find the Hull I once knew and cherished dearly as a child and young man. The Hull where I experienced terror, fear, happiness, joy and love, and learned responsibility and to be proud of my background and family history. I wanted to leave a record of my family that brought me through my early life, and pass on to 'my family' the importance of a family.
