Well done great to see you filming the villages of East Yorkshire. The bench was commissioned and bought by my late mother Maureen Grubb née Riley to remember he mother Joan Riley and a gift to the village, in which I try and clean and maintain at least twice a year. The stone opposite the post office is to remember the 23 servicemen and women who fought in WW2. Many thanks James.
There was an excellent Butcher's shop in Sproatley where I think it's now a hairdressers' business. Very popular and friendly, the Butcher was called Mr Knutt (David I think) and in the 1970's used to deliver meat in his Morris van personally to customers' houses around the Holderness area.
When I was in year 6(I going into year 9 now after the summer holiday) the teacher I had showed us a punishment book from I think 1921 or sometime around that and it was really interesting.

At the next village to us called old St Mellons they have a lovely playing field with something for everyone like there is at Sproatley!
There's a pub called the blue bell in Keyingham as well!
Love Nicki's parting quip but she obviously loves participating. Keep it up you two
Oh yes absolutely she does. You'll be seeing much more of her in the coming months

It's strange seeing the place signs with the white rose on nowadays rather than the old Humberside signs!
So weird to see a reference to Chichester so far up north! I wonder if it actually is the northernmost reference.
Could well be!
Sproatley is a commuter village for Hull like Patrington is!
You know when you are in the Hull area when you see the white phone boxes!
