As part of the Humber Museums Partnership’s “Humber Stories” project, our volunteers have embarked on a short project over the Summer to share childhood memories of growing up on Waterside in Barton. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Waterside was an almost self-sufficient, close-knit community with its own shops, chapel, school and industries.
Waterside was described by the late Ron Newton as his “childhood playground”, and we’d like to know more. Our team are particularly keen to share memories of St. Chad’s School – the town’s other National School.
We are appealing for contributors to share their stories of growing up on Waterside, and are especially keen for new volunteers who might like to help with the project over the Summer – interviewing, transcribing and shaping a new display.
Our contact details are: wilderspinschoolmuseum@gmail.com or phone (01652) 635172
We’re proud to have curated this exhibition previously shown at the Museum last autumn, and on display at the Hull History Centre during March.
It’s a unique story of ambition and endurance; A ‘journey’ which began in Spitalfields, London, in 1825, and ended at Barton upon Humber and Hull twenty years later.
Admission is free: Tuesdays -Thursdays 9.30am* – 4.30pm; Saturdays 7 & 21 March 9.30am -12.30pm (*Tuesday 17 & Thursday 19 March 10am – 4.30pm)
