Hi everyone, only just found your info on the hesslewood orphanage.
My dad, John Bernard Lawson and his older brother, George Herbert Eric were there from 1921/2 until 1928. Their younger sister was also in a home but not sure which one. I have one photo of a large group of the boys which includes my dad and his brother also fragments of a photo of the orphanage band.
Both dad and his brother played in the band and continued playing in their works band years later.
I have ordered from our local library (I live down in Kent) the book, Postcards of Hull, could be interesting.
Iam thinking of a trip up to see what the Hull History Centre can turn up.

Hi Carol
The photo was a panoramic view of the band about a foot wide, it was always kept rolled up, it eventually broke into pieces. I have put it back together but about two thirds of it got lost over the years.
My dad always spoke of his time at the orphanage as one long round of fights, nothing but trouble. Dad told my sister years ago that when his dad died it was like going fron riches to rags overnight. A very unhappy time. He was only seven when he went in.
Thanks for prompt reply

Hi Carol, I have just finished reading through all seven pages of info. I see that you have a newspaper article from the 1930's, my dads sister was in the orphanage about 1930/33. Also you mention photos from the 1920's both my dad and his brother were there at that time. Any chance you could e-mail them to me please.

Regards
Banjoles
