 West Hull 13) ...for a street completely removed. (At one time, Haltemprice Street was more than twice as long as the remaining section. An unmanned railway crossing split the street where the fencing is erected. The now demolished Amy Johnson secondary school was built over the part of the street that lay beyond the trackbed. During the 1950s, the boy that became this page’s author lived at no. 2 Haltemprice Street – a house lost long before the recent process.)



 West Hull (14) Harris Street, one of four short cul-de-sacs off Haltemprice Street. Notice the unusual type of road surface. The building in the distance is Wheeler Primary School, the premises where the author passed his Eleven Plus exam.
