SUMMARY:Bradford Family History Society
DESCRIPTION:Presentation “Life and Death on Yorkshire’s Waterways” \nDrawing on his extensive research into 19th and early 20th century Yorkshire watermen families\, David Scrimgeour will share what he has learned about the BMD facts so important to family historians.

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Workshop 9: First person narratives
DESCRIPTION:If you are interested in history\, here’s your opportunity to stimulate those “grey cells” over the summer months and perhaps even meet some like minded folk over a cuppa and a biscuit. Thanks to the award of a Hull Maritime Community Grant\, Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society is running a series of twenty heritage workshops at Goole Museum during the spring and summer of 2024. \nEvery Tuesday\, a session will run from 10.15am to 1pm\, combining an opportunity for visitors to raise questions about their own ancestors\, perhaps donate photographs or stories for inclusion on our website and have a look at some of the new stuff we will be publishing during 2024.  You’ll maybe learn some new tricks and perhaps how you too can help us to illuminate the lives of the hard working watermen who plied their trade on the waterways of 19th and 20th century Yorkshire.  \nNo appointment is needed although each workshop will have a 30 – 45 minute presentation starting at 11am which you won’t want to miss. Each presentation will feature a topic of interest and explore how our volunteers have researched\, captured and published what has been discovered. \nThis week’s presentation: First person narratives \nA number of sources recall knowledge of the waterways written by folk who were there at the time. We’ll share the story of how we are making their written stories available on our website and tell you about our exciting plans for making them even more entertaining. \nOur computers will have access to the main family history websites. Light refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Goole By Barge Exhibition by Rich and Lou Duffy-Howard
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition of photographs\, videos and music\, documents the artists’ two-day journey from Hull to York\, via Goole on the working barge\, George Dyson. It is the latest chapter in Rich and Lou’s Open Bridges project (www.openbridgeshull.com).  \n\nGoole by Barge documents our trip on January 24th and 25th 2020 when we were passengers on the Deans Marine Services barge George Dyson. We accompanied vessel owner and skipper John Dean who owns the last remaining working dry dock on the River Hull on a two day working voyage from Hull’s Albert Dock to York\, with the job of removing hundreds of years of rubble from its city centre 15th century Guildhall on the banks of the Ouse. \nThe destination on the first day\, on a high tide\, was the port of Goole. John drove the barge into the sunset\, mooring in Aldam Dock just before seven. A few hours later\, before first light on the next tide\, Goole was the start of the next day’s adventure. Goole became central to the journey and exhibition\, depicting the town as both crossroad and harbour for road\, rail and river workers and travellers. \nRich photographed the journey from the barge and explained\, “Taking photographs in low light without a flash is always a challenge especially at night on a moving barge. I wanted to capture the stillness and silence of Goole docks away from the daily bustle”. \n\nAs well as 60 of Rich’s photographs you can see three videos and soundtracks made by Lou\, ‘The George Dyson Entering Ocean Lock’\, ‘The Goole Captain’ and ‘The Scenic Route to York.

SUMMARY:Snaith and District Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:Presentation:  Life and Death on Yorkshire’s Waterways\nDrawing on his extensive research into 19th and early 20th century Yorkshire watermen families\, David Scrimgeour will share what he has learned about the BMD facts so important to family historians. Illustrated with examples peculiar to life on the waterways this is not a presentation for the faint hearted. The happy events of births and marriages are outweighed by the many unnatural deaths associated with what was a very\, very hazardous occupation for the watermen and their families.
