Would there be anyone on this list who knows Hull. I have two addresses from early 1900's .One of them I think may now be or was a garage . 44 Witham and 55 Sherburn St were both business addresses of my H CRAWSHAW relative. Please, is there someone who knows this area nowadays? Is it commercial or mainly residential? Old properties or rebuilt? Would be glad of any idea what the area was like. Valerie

Hi again, I lived in Hull some 35 years ago and pass through occasionally. From memory Sherburn Street is in an old residential area off one of the main roads into the city. Witham is an area close to the River Hull and predominantly industrial. I'm sure someone will come up with a better explanation. Incidentally if you can download Google Earth, I have just looked those addresses up and could see them very clearly' down to the cars on the roads. It is worth a try.

After you leave George Street you then cross over North Bridge, which spans the River Hull. On the East side of North Bridge you come to a road named Witham. With ends at the junction with Holderness Road. Sherburn Street is off Holderness Road. Victor R Lamplugh wrote: > Hi again, > > I lived in Hull some 35 years ago and pass through occasionally.
