Hull Daily Mail Flashback series

15/2/2018

0 Comments

 
The fantastic Hull Daily Mail Flashback series has published several pictures which document people of African descent in Hull and East Yorkshire over the decades. We are delighted that we can celebrate the people who are featured and include their presence in our project.

Some of the photographs we have come across contain people who have engaged with our project such as the picture below showing David Gambe playing in the Beverley Blue Brass Band with John Jessop, Alan Whittle, Mike Palframan, Pete Barnecutt and Marian Grimes at a parade in 1987. [1]

David Gambe is one of the 30 contributors to our Contemporary Voices series of oral histories.
  • Hear about David’s journey from Rhodesia to England via a trade union scholarship, and about how he eventually settled in Hull with a near 30-year career in social work.
Picture
Another recent feature has been Clive Sullivan and other friends of Tom Wilson’s at the former Hull City and Goole Town defender’s testimonial fund dinner in 1978. [2]
  • Read our feature on Clive’s professional career and a fascinating account of how he met his wife Ros (in her own words).
Picture
​The photo below shows Hull City’s Alex Dyer with Tom Wilson presenting a trophy to Peter Coulson, the captain of the Croxby School football team for winning the Beverley and Haltemprice B league for under 11’s. Sadly, this picture is undated, but it is believed to have been taken when Dyer played for Hull City in the 1980s. [3]
 
Hull City AFC was founded in 1904 but it was not until 1986 that Black footballers became part of the squad.
  • Read our feature for more about The Tigers' Black footballers which began with Ray Daniel and included Dyer himself in 1987.
Picture
​There are other pictures which have featured in the flashback series that we would love to know more about, such as the image below which shows Peter Brough and his dummy Archie meeting ‘war orphans’ in January 1954 at the Regal Cinema, Hull.

If you are one of the children or know someone in this photograph, please contact us. We are looking to produce a story on children orphaned during the First and Second World War soon so any information you are willing to share would be greatly appreciated. [4]

​With thanks to Dr Nicholas Evans for bringing these images to our attention.
