I remember Eva Smith, she was an alcoholic, used to see her round town, she used to hang around with " Billy Berry', he was a vagrant, and alcoholic also, they used to get drunk together, and would shout and ball at anybody just walking by them, used to scare me stiff...lol.. Both long gone now. You may get some info from the Hull Daily Mail's " Flashback" , lots of older people will remember them.
