Iris Thelma Jones Banks , England - Wednesday, November 12, 2003 at 17:59:44 (GMT) It always amazes me to read about all these younger people who say there is nothing for them to do in Driffield. Instead of thinking about me, me, me, why don't they start thinking what they can do for the town to make it a better place to live in. I'm sure there are a lot of elderly people there who could use a little help even if it is just tidying thier gardens or sweeping the path in front of thier houses, just little things like that that can make a differance in thier lives. If we just take from a place and never give anything back then pretty soon it is bled dry. It would give the young people something to do as well as making life a bit easier for the elderly. Why don't they adopt a street and pick up the trash etc. If they really looked around they would find plenty to do. It might not be as entertaining as they would like but it is a start. Limey Mississippi, USA - Tuesday, November 11, 2003 at 23:28:57 (GMT) just wanna say goodbye to driffield. lived here all my life, and now, i am thankfully leaving. i had good times cuz i grew up here, but if i do ever come back here, it will be far too soon. i wont miss the place, and there will be very few ppl that i miss. remember - driffield aint the only place in this world, and when you leave, (if you ever do) yu will realise that collecting ur dole every other thursday, and your friday nights in mavericks are all pretty mundane. (you all know who you are) ppl in driff made my life hell! well, now im leaving you all behind, with your narrow minds, and your intense need to stir trouble for anyone who does not fit into your "group". driffield is good for people who dont wanna go anywhere in life, perfect for you guys (agen - u know who you r!) so - here it goes, im goin, n i definatly wont be looking back. goodbye driffield, - Wednesday, November 05, 2003 at 16:07:14 (GMT) Hi to anyone who knows me and Dave, We have been here in Spain for two months now, so when feeling a bit homesick this site is really good to visit.

The powers that be say it will re open in the next few days, after temporary repairs are finished. But the East Riding Council keeps waffling around the question of major refurbishment. It now looks like next year ---- at the earliest. Councillors have agreed to set aside some money but if the spending budget gets cut - as it may do - then the project may be in danger. Questions need to be asked now So, people....start asking them...... the charlatan driff, - Tuesday, July 15, 2003 at 17:53:53 (BST) Hi everyone. Great site. Hold on. Thomas Porks from LA.

I was born in Nafferton in 1941, attended Bidlington School by means of the infamous "Driffield Bus" from 52 to 57. Then I joined the Army and found that there were many worse places than Driffield. Does anyone remeber me? I`m retired now, residing in Rossington near Doncaster.

I'm sure that old people can find alot to do but what about the teenagers. We don't get anything because the council spend there money on computers houses for some of the small villages. Who's dumb idea was that, i've never seen one been used yet. And we have driffiled show every year which is fun if your about 4 or older than 40, why don't we arrange some open air concerts and stuff? And all the people who keep complaining and trying to stop the skatepark been built because of the damage the skateboarders cause on walls and stuff. What do you think they're going to do if you stop the skatepark. They won't have anywhere else to go so they'll carry on skating the walls and banks in driffield so if anything you should be supporting the skatepark.

We were billeted in private houses on the Road to Nafferton. Our stay was only a few weeks as we departed for the Far East within two months. I remember Driffield fairly well and it was a very pleasant place to be, pity I could not have stayed longer. Just prior to leaving for a Troopship at Southampton we moved from Driffield to Nafferton where we were billeted in a Church House which may have been the rectory or manse.

I went to the old council school Mr Dukes was the Headmaster, on reflection he did have a terrible job with us lot during WW2 when all male teachers were away at war. But he did a fine job all the naughty boys were lined up at the assembly on a Monday morn. & the "Gaffer" used the knotted rope!! I had a calling to go to Sea and went as an Engineer that was in 1951 after years at the Hull Tech. and an apprenticeship. it was quite a problem catching the 6.30 am bus to Hull and then getting back home after night school at around 10.30pm Oh Happy days. I left the sea after becoming Chief Engineer and finished up working in London (opposite Harrods) for some 25 yrs with one of the major oil cos. Lots of water has gone by since those happy boyhood days even during the war years when all food including "goodies" were on ration. I did an errand boys job at Walter Wilsons uncle Tom Julian was Manager. My friend Arthur Adams (who also went off to sea worked opposite at Jacksons) I remember his mum also worked their. We made our own fun in such wonderful surroundings which you do not appreciate at the time. My best Pal was Horsley Dawson who's dad had a small printers/shop in middle street, we used to "borrow" some of his Dad's printers lead and cast toy soldiers which we sold in his Dad's shop!!Only pocket money you understand. Could go on forever on recalling the good times in those bygone days. Hope whoever does tread this tiny account will not be too bored, also anyone who may have been around then.....

Bryanna Saskatchewan, Canada - Friday, November 01, 2002 at 05:03:30 (GMT) I am reseraching my family and have found that my grandmother, Amy Marion Spencer was born in Driffield around 1888 and was the daughter of Thomas Spencer and Helen Spencer (nee Pope). The family owned a grocery business, which was at 12/13 Mill Street, and Thomas's brothers Alfred owned a baker's at 39 Exchange Street and William a wholesale business at 19 Middle Street. They had seven children - Alfred who I believe inherited the family grocery business, and had a daughter; Alwyn who was a painter and decorator; Arthur who became a chemist, emigrated to Canada then returned when he contracted cancer; Amy who married my grandfather; Lily who married William Payne but returned to Driffield; Florence who married a Billy Hopper or Harper; and Evelyn who married a Norman Slingsby. If anyone has any further information on the family or knows of any of the buildings or anything else which may be interesting please contact me. I intend visiting the area after Christmas.

Have happy memories of the `service club' in Driffield that used to feed and cheer-up us lonely 'erks. I was a gas-turbine mechanic, working on Meteors. I also remember all too well those icy blasts that would sweep in from the North Sea over the Wolds, where I was shivering out on the runways. Les Wall - formerly S.A.C.

I can't wait to see Driffield. Thank you for the opportunity to read up on your town. As a committed Anglophile I found your site while surfing for English sites. Now that I'm semi-retired, I'm putting my fondness for English village life to good use (I hope!) in a series of cozy murder mysteries that I've had published. Look forward to being in Driffield next year.
