Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Re: street info in hull please

I lived at 9 Florance Avenue in Courtney Street between 1954 and 1966 I believe it was demolished around 1970. Note the spelling of Florance - which is the correct spelling - I had a hard time at school explaining that to many of my teachers who didn't think I could spell my own address!
I also went to the chapel at the bottom of the street - was a Baptist Chapel run by Mr and Mrs Finch. We had annual Sunday School outings to Withernsea and got on the train at the station at the top of Courtney Street - just across Holderness Road. I stood on the footbridge with my pals many a time while the steam engine came underneath us and we all "disappeared" in the steam for a while!
Sorry - no pics.of the bridge. I also remember waving to the train driver on many occasions while they stopped to wait for the signal man to close the crossing gates on Dansom Lane.
