Hull seamens and general orphanage was originally at the Iceland food site but moved en masse to ferriby road hessle.  The site is now hesslewood business park.  The orphanage closed in 1985.

Hi
I was at Hull Seaman's and General Orphanage between 1963 and 1971.  I remember Simon and his brother Sean and also the Birkitts and many others.  I played in the Orphanage football team and possess a DVD of a football match against Doncaster scouts and a sports day.  I obtained the film off Billy Braeme many years ago.

Indeed, the orphanage did originate at Spring Bank where the Iceland shop is today.  The kids marched to their new home at Hesslewood after it was bequeathed by the Pease family who where merchant traders in hull. 

I have come across 3 photo's on the net when Mr Pastry visited in 1966 when I was 10.  Mr pastry happens to have his hand on my shoulder.  I have not seen this picture before this week.  To view type in the search for Mr Pastry at Hesslewood.
