Hessle Road · Our living archive
Gone from the street. Still in our memories.
A street number, a family photograph or a remembered shop name can be the start of a new archive entry.
A landmark remembered through maps. Hull City Council’s 2025 appraisal identifies St Barnabas Church on an 1890 map and notes that St Barnabas Court replaced it.
Exterior photographs, memories of services and family documents that identify dates. We are looking for evidence before adding a detailed chronology.
The same 1890 map records a former cricket ground in the Hessle Road area. It is a reminder of how much an old map can reveal about places we no longer see.
Look for club names, programmes, photographs or a marked map. Please tell us where your information comes from.
The Council appraisal records the demolition of these buildings and the creation of St Andrew’s Retail Park. The addresses give us a precise starting point for collecting the memories of what stood there.
Share a shop name, the kind of business, who worked there or an old photograph. Approximate dates are welcome when clearly labelled.
Send us the name, address, approximate date and your memory. If you have a photograph, tell us who took it and whether we may publish it.
