Progress has been made in the Redhead house. I took my youngest son to the game last weekend & he loved it. I'm taking him again tomorrow, my older son has just asked if he can come along too. Just need Mr Baldhead now & I've got a full house.

Interesting. My grandma was Amy's cousin. Bet my grandma knew yours!

She always brings to mind that wonderful song, [url=http://www.trailertheater.com/video.php?id=M3B1SVV1a25vOUE=&title=come-josephine-in-my-flying-machineCome Josephine in my Flying Machine[/url.


Amazing isn't it, MR, but not wholly unexpected given Hull's limp-handed reputation for not shouting about itself and our Council's addiction to destroying anything of historical interest and value (see current Trinity House scandal...will they approve the Car Park???)

It's an ace name too - Ebenezer Cobb Morley. Wonderful. I discovered this about 5 years ago and was astounded that more hasn't been made about this. Hull, [ithe[/i major Rugby League city with the only true derby [iand[/i father to the creator of soccer. What a fantastic legacy we have and how little those with any influence use it. The world's most popular sport and not even a blue plaque to show for it.

Another amazing Hullensian was, of course, Don Suddaby. At least a film was made about him. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo's_OilIt took the Americans to do it though[/url. He even played himself!

Billy Berry

And [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_MackaillDorothy Mackaill[/url from the Amy Johnson period, again. She went to Thoresby Primary school, where my children also attended. Only found out about her from the school history. Proper film star!

Who's she?

OOOh. His first film was [url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/films/Turn-of-the-TideTurn of the Tide[/url. Fantastic film made even better because we saw it in a picture house converted from an old chapel in Robin Hood's Bay.

Leo Walmsley's three "Bramblewick" books are amongst my favourite ever reads.

Binky Griptite and the Mellomatics.

Great name for a band that.

One of the apprentice winners. Says she's is from Hull on wiki, but she sounds foreign to me

Michelle Dewbury was the apprentice winner from Hull wasnt it

Michelle Dewbury and Yasmina Siadatan are both Hull born.
