About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Flickr Image Description

The back of the photo says 31 August 1924 and the Wheatsheaf has a fine "Magnet Ales" sign - and a noticeboard header for East Yorkshire Motor Services.

Having searched a bit - I think this pub is still going if its the one on Hailgate.

The original Flickr poster is correct; the pub is still going strong in Howden, as can be seen from the StreetView image - looks nice!
