Re: Amy Johnson, my grandmother used to be a cleaner for the Johnson family when they lived in South Lane, Hessle. I am not sure of what years she worked there but it was probably before the first world war. My grandmother died in 1949 aged 60. John Alderton also went to Kingston High School. Hilary

When growing up as a boy in the 1950's we lived in Campion Avenue off Hessle High Road in Hull. John Alderton was our newspaper delivery boy and his mother and father had a grocery shop on the corner of nearby St Nicholas Avenue. My company has just finished the complete re-roofing of the Kingston High School (now know as Pickering High School) and whilst visiting the project I noticed that Amy Johnson's name is included on the Roll of Honour in the entrance.
