So interesting to read of the continuing interest in the Roll of Honour, and the UKniwm record.
However, the craftsman was James William Robinson,( 1876-1924) a Journeyman carver and cabinet maker who lived at 112 Sharp Street, Hull.
 I,m not certain if those named on the memorial were Sharp Street residents, or perhaps from surrounding streets.

Well as you can see from the memorial, only 10 of those named died, and their details will be on the Commonwealth War Graves Site, so if you can find the actual names, their parents names and home addresses will be on that website:

The other 129 names, are those that served, but survived, and their details may be on the Absent Voters list 1919 for Hull

Thanks, Tom.

When I looked at it long time ago I didn't know how many of our extended family came from that area.

I'll pay it a visit in the new year to see if I recognize any names.



happy christmas

I drove past this the other day, it looked as though Goodfellows had been demolished?

Goodfellows has gone and there are to be houses built on the site.  The memorial is in storage somewhere I believe and is to be reinstated when a suitable location is available. My mother-in-law lives down Sharp Street and had a letter about it a while ago. If I find out any more I will let you know on here.

Hi All,
As of a few months ago the WW1 Roll of honour was been held in the old Newland Primary school which is now a council drop in centre.It is upstairs.A few months ago I went to see it to take some photos of it and to find out why it had been taken down and was it going to be put back up.

This is my first posting on this site and I have registered after reading the entries with great interest, as I was born (1935) and lived at 122 Sharp Street prior to moving to Canada in 1964  (Just 5 houses away from 112 where the Robinsons lived.) At that time Joe Robinson lived there and he was the local barber.
I can report that, prior to and after WW2, the roll of honour was on the outside wall of Beals Joinery which was a large carpentry firm owned by Roland Beal who lived in the last house at the bottom of Sharp Street across from the Warrington family who where the local milk producers and delivery family in the area.
I am pleased to hear that the memorial is in safe hands at the Wyke office in the Newland Avenue school (which I attended as a child) and I hope to be able to see it when I visit my family in September.   George Barrett.
