  • East Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities
    East Yorkshire Countryside Directory for People with Disabilities second edition Whatever your needs, access to and enjoyment of the countryside is rewarding, healthy and great fun. This directory can help you find out what opportunities are available to you in your area. Get yourself outdoors and enjoy all the benefits that come with it… With a foreword by The Hon. Mrs Susan Cunliffe-Lister, HM Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire This directory was put together by people with a disability for people with a disability, though the places and information included will be useful to anyone. With a wealth of hidden treasures, East Yorkshire is often referred to as ‘Britain’s best kept secret’. Savour its traditions, stately homes, stunning nature reserves and colourful seaside life. East Yorkshire has many claims to fame; did you know, for example, that Britain’s tallest man came from Market Weighton, and that Hull is home to England’s smallest window? For people interested in wildlife and conservation there is much that can be done from home or a local accessible area. Whatever your chosen form of countryside recreation, whether it’s joining a group, doing voluntary work, or getting yourself out into the countryside on your own, we hope you will get as much out of it as we do. There is still some way to go before we have a properly accessible countryside. By contacting Open Country or another of the organisations listed here, you can help to encourage better access for all in the future. Revised March 2015.

  • Historic Hospitals
    Mental Hospitals Introduction Until the early 19th century most people with mental health problems were either cared for by their families or housed in workhouses .Only those people considered to be a danger to the public were kept in separate institutions for the insane. The main institution for the whole of Yorkshire was York lunatic asylum. In 1808 the County Asylum Act allowed each of the three Ridings to make their own provisions and an asylum was built at Sculcoates in Hull but it was not until 1865 that the East Riding built its own asylum at Walkington. An alternative, which developed in the late 18th century, was the private asylum housing a small number of patients whose families were willing to pay for their care or who were paid for by the parish. Many of these were run by people with medical experience or spinsters and many only cared for one patient e.g. Mark Fielding, a surgeon in Cottingham and the Misses Binnington in Beverley. To house more than one patient a licence was required and the premises had to be inspected three times a year by a JP and a physician. These were called the Commissioners in Lunacy. Fourteen private asylums existed in Hull and East Yorkshire in the 19th century but most only existed for around 20 years. Some housed only private patients but others admitted paupers paid for by the parish. Moor Cottage Nunkeeling De La Pole This was a private asylum opened in 1821 by John Beal Building began at this large hospital in 1881 on land acquired by Hull Corporation from the and his wife Jane.

  • U DDGE Papers of the Bishop Burton Estates 1194 - 1931 of the Gee and Hall-Watt Families
    Hull History Centre: Bishop Burton Estates of the Gee and Hall-Watt Families U DDGE Papers of the Bishop Burton Estates 1194 - 1931 of the Gee and Hall-Watt Families Historical Background: Bishop Burton is about 4 kilometres west of Beverley on the main York road at the foot of the East Yorkshire wolds. It is an estate village dating largely from the lordship of the Hall-Watt family from the late eighteenth century. Before the Reformation the manor had been owned by the Archbishop of York. After reversion to the Crown in 1542 it was sold a decade later to John Dudley, Duke of Northunberland who forfeited it a year later on attainder. It then went through leasing and sale before being bought by the Crompton family, who in turn sold it to William Gee (d.1612) in 1603. It subsequently descended in the Gee family until being bought by Richard Watt in 1783 (Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iv, pp.3-4). The Gee family came from Rothley in Leicestershire. Henry Gee of Rothley was the common ancestor of a senior branch of the family who remained in Rothley and the father of William Gee who first moved to Hull as a master mariner. William Gee became a Merchant of the Staple and acquired great wealth through this means and through public office. He was sheriff of Hull in 1560 and mayor in 1562, 1573 and 1582. He was the benefactor of Hull Grammar School, donating £80 and 20,000 bricks in 1583 for its rebuilding, as well as founding a hospital for ten poor women and providing the town with a gold chain to be worn by mayoresses.
