    U DEW Archives of Ellerman's Wilson Line 1825-1974

    Hull History Centre: Archives of Ellerman’s Wilson Line U DEW Archives of Ellerman's Wilson Line 1825-1974 Historical Background Hull might be considered an unsuitable location for what at one time was the largest privately owned shipping company in the world, with its awkward 27 mile approach up the Humber from the North Sea. Nevertheless, here was founded the firm of Thomas Wilson Sons & Co. (TWSC), later Ellerman's Wilson Line (EWL), but known for most of its life and now remembered as the Wilson Line. Furthermore, the activities of this single company helped to make Hull Britain's third largest port by the beginning of the twentieth century. In March 1904 TWSC owned some 99 vessels, most of which had been built by the local firm of Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited, which had itself been bought by TWSC shortly before. Thomas Wilson, the founder of the firm, was born in Hull on 12 February 1792. He went to sea as a boy but then became a clerk with Whitaker, Wilkinson & Co., importers of Swedish iron ore, later becoming their commercial traveller in the Sheffield area. On 1 September 1814 he married Susannah John West and they eventually had 15 children. The story goes that, with a growing family, he asked his employers for a rise, was refused, and in 1820 chose to set up in business for himself, relying on various partners for the provision of capital. The first of these in 1822 was John Beckington, a merchant and iron importer from Newcastle. The firm of Beckington, Wilson & Co.

  • Sergeant Harold Lyon, East Riding Yeomanry – Lantern Slide Lecture Notes

    Sergeant Harold Lyon, East Riding Yeomanry – Lantern Slide Lecture Notes

    Sergeant Harold Lyon, East Riding Yeomanry – lantern slide lecture notes By 1920 if not earlier, Sergeant Harold Lyon, of Market Weighton, created a lantern slide lecture based around his experiences with the ERY before and during the First World War, entitled “The Tale of a Yeoman”. The slides clearly drew on the small Box Brownie images that he had taken at the time (many of these are also in East Riding Museums collections). Catalogued as 2001/89, there are three versions of the lecture, all incomplete. They seem to be a 1960’s re-writing of his script. The first, typed on pale blue paper sheets covers from 1912 to December 1916, breaking off at slide 57, when the story had reached Kantara and the Suez Canal. This is perhaps the first part of the completed version. A second handwritten fragment in pencil (on lined paper) covers the period from December 1916 to October 1917, overlapping slightly with version 1 at the beginning - it must represent part of an early draft, as the pages are numbered 39-50. There are numerous crossings out and evidence of two numbering systems for the slides. The final version seems to be an intermediate draft, as it is typed (in blue and red) onto the same blue paper as version 1. It is fragmentary, but covers the period April 1917 to July 1918. There are many amendments and several different numbering systems for the slides. This transcript attempts to put the three versions together as a coherent narrative, cross referencing to the slides and photographs in East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s collection using their accession numbers (the lantern slide images are available on the Museum Service website as 2001.88.1 etc.).

  • Memoirs of Lt Frank Wood

    Memoirs of Lt Frank Wood

    A few old memories after 4 years of war, by Lt. Frank Wood, Humbleton Hall, Hull Frank Wood was one of a long line of Yeoman farmers, who lived and worked at Humbleton Hall. Family sources indicate he was a fine horseman and with a family tradition in hunting, he was very much “typical” of early Yeomanry recruits. It is thought likely that he joined the ERY as a private. Wood appears as a Sergeant in several pre-war photographs in the album of Major Jack Lee Smith – who was Wood’s cousin, close friend and best man at his wedding. Wood was commissioned as an officer on 26th September 1914 and served until June 1921. These memoirs, typed and then bound into a blue cloth covered book were donated to Hedon Museum in 2013. We would like to acknowledge the museum and the donor (Frank Wood’s niece) for permission to use these memoirs. Notes have been added with regard to other ERY men who are mentioned in the text. Place names have been amended to more common spellings where appropriate. (66 pages) Having had an excellent time at Bisley during the National Rifle Association Annual meeting, getting third place and a bronze cross in the St., George’s competition and several other minor prizes, I had once more settled down to work at home, looking forward to the harvest. On Tuesday July 27th [1914] I attended drill at the yeomanry barracks at Walton Street, Hull, everything being just as usual, never dreaming that war was so close upon us, in fact we opened the new miniature rifle range by holding competitions in which I was fortunate enough to win first place in two events.
