ETTON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: - The Light Dragoon has been closed since 2019. No indication of that anywhere online so not my fault! - The Hudson Way is 10 miles long, not 10 km
How interesting, I rented in Etton for a year in 2007 and it was the year it flooded on the side of Main St I was residing. A most miserable year as I recall, saw the flood waters rising with waves lapping against the cottage as I began moving my possessions upstairs. A strange place, I was reported by a local for not having matching net curtains in my upper and lower windows, got a written warning by the village conservation lot! As if there aren't more important things to worry about in the world! Glad you made it out of there safely and the pitchfork brigade didn't go for you :)
@@GHExploration Yes indeed, you find an odd minority with such pathetic things to get them in a stew! Net curtains of all things, heaven help them if they ever got the noisy neighbours from hell living there!!!
Thank you for the programme on Etton. Did your research show that just a half-mile north was a large boarding school in the form of a camp for Hull evacuees escaping the blitz, it remained open for many years. I am 90 and spend some rather unhappy hours there in 1942/1943! Its history is worth a programme to itself! BOB
@@TheVillageIdiot Wow! I don't know when it opened, or its origins, soon after 1940 I guess, perhaps used as an army camp, which it was like in appearance and run by Hull Council. It was called a Pasture School with low level buildings round the 'parade ground'. Dormitories for boys, and girls, with their ablution facilities, were only loosely 'guarded' but I'll say no more about that. A fleet of EYMS buses came on Saturday afternoons bringing mums and dads to visit. I THINK it closed soon after 1945 and when I passed it recently it had been razed to the ground. It is worth a little research, it was a big chunk in Hull's wartime history - and mine. Keep up the good work. I now liive in Thornton le Dale, my idea of Paradise!!! or
No, I didnt. That will be covered in another episode. I wrote a post about this yesterday. Because Kiplingcotes is split between two parishes it made more sense to talk about it in the other one because it has the Winning Post located within it

Very interesting, well researched and presented, long may you broadcast Andy
Thanks Bob. With any luck I'll be doing this professionally soon
Looks like you had a nice day in lovely part of East Yorks . Walked and cycled the old railway line very nice in either direction.
It really was! The next three episodes in East Yorkshire were all on the same day. Get ready for more blue sky!
Great video, it's a village I know well as I am from Cherry Burton, although I live in Thailand now!
Thanks for watching! Cherry Burton comes next Saturday :D
Hoping to do the railway walk later in the year Andy
It looked like a nice walk from my research. Not too long, and flat! Worth a go I'd say
We used to live there
whens cherry burton coming.i suggest you pop into a few pubs for a full outlook on village life.Chez has a fantastic history
Cherry was done straight after this. Its up Saturday
You forgot to mention the Kiplingcotes Derby, the oldest annual horse race in the English sporting calendar and some say the world.
No, I didnt. That will be covered in another episode. I wrote a post about this yesterday.
