Historic house
« on: Friday 13 May 05 11:40 BST (UK) »
I was researching a friend's tree and found that on the 1881 census the dock labourer and his family were living at 5 Scale Lane in the centre of Hull.  Being nearby I went to see if the house was still there.  Not only is it still there but it has a blue plaque on it declaring it to be the oldest domestic building in the city, dating back to the 15th century.  I suppose in 1881 it was just an old house.  Just shows the value of checking out the addresses of our ancestors.
Godden in East Sussex, mainly Hastings area.
Richards in Lea, Gloucestershire, then London.
Williamson in Leith, Vickers in Nottingham.
Webb in Bildeston and Colchester.
Wesbroom in Kirby le Soken.
Ellington in Harwich.
Park, Palmer, Segar and Peartree in Kersey.

Thomas Bulmar Dunwell, Hairdresser, 19 Scale Lane, 1851, I was hoping the building was still standing, no such luck.
Yet I was delighted to see numbers 1 & 2 Bishop Lane, have survived the test of time my GGGrandfather William Dunwell lived in them both for some time. 2 Bishop Lane being the Queens Coffee House from about 1851 to 1870.
He also had the Gate, Lr union St. 1840.
The Grapes, Fawcett St. 1842.
The Neptune 3 Chapel Lane, 1846.
Any Dunwell's in the Hull area please get in touch.

Hi Sutton Trust,
I've found this link on the Hullweb site that has an excellent feature on 5 Scale Lane.

Enjoy.

Ian

Yes, thanks, Ian, I found that some time ago.  The Hullwebs site has great potential but seems to be on hold - you can't contact them.  Pity.
