Humber Accord
HUMBER ACCORD (Caves, Cottingham (AWAKE (Anlaby, Willerby & Kirk Ella), Howden, Hornsea, Swanland, Hessle, Wolds, Pocklington, Beverley and Hull) Open door arrangements for U3A members Several years ago the U3As of Beverley, Caves, Cottingham, Hessle and Swanland formed the Accord network in order to share information, experience and ideas for their mutual benefit. Subsequently AWAKE (Anlaby, Willerby & Kirk Ella), Howden and District, Hornsea and District, Wolds, and Hull have been welcomed into the group. Meetings are held at approximately 3 monthly intervals and are attended by 2 Committee members (usually the Chairperson or Secretary and one other) from each U3A. There are some rules/guidelines to ensure the system operates fairly and is not abused. Individual U3As may vary the detail but are asked to honour the principles. PROTOCAL FOR RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS: 1. To avoid confusion and/or problems, it would be helpful to develop common practise so all know how the system should work. 2. The system can apply to our Interests Groups, monthly/general/regular meetings and other events. 3. For all interest groups – the leader has total discretion about whether their group can accommodate an increase in membership or has space for guest visitors on an occasional basis. There will be no control of Groups by the local committees. 4. Members should always contact the leader of the group that they wish to attend – before attending. They should not just “drop in” on an ad hoc basis. 5. Leaders may wish to prioritise membership of their own U3A. This can be done by limiting external access until after a stated cut-off date or any other suitable system.

Amy Johnson CBE, 1903-1941: a Brief Biography Amy Johnson Is One of Those Historical Figures Who Have Generated Many Myths and Half-Truths
Amy Johnson CBE, 1903-1941: A brief biography Amy Johnson is one of those historical figures who have generated many myths and half-truths. She is, for example, often portrayed as a champion for women’s rights. In fact, she largely pursued her own agendas, though she was certainly an inspiration to many women. She was also “the typist who flew to Australia”, the plucky amateur so beloved of British society. Amy did spend some time working in a legal office, but was educated far above the level of the average 1930’s typist. And although her early flights were not exactly methodically planned, she became a highly professional pilot. Then of course there are the numerous theories about her death, which seem sometimes to attract more attention than her numerous achievements. The real Amy is far more complex and interesting. Amy was born in Hull on 1 st July 1903. The family home at the time was in St. George’s Road, in the western part of the city, not far from the docks. Her father, John William Johnson, was a partner in the family fish processing business. This had originally set up by Amy'’ Danish grandfather, who moved to Hull and anglicized his name to Andrew Johnson. “JW” Johnson was a shrewd and resourceful character and somewhat of a pillar of local society. As the family business grew, the Johnson family found a better house, acquired two cars and generally enjoyed a comfortable lower middle class lifestyle. “JW” joined the Rotarians and was a staunch Methodist. He also proved to be a loyal and energetic supporter of Amy’s career, once she had set her heart on being a pilot (for example he contributed half of the £600 needed to buy her first aircraft).

ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE by K. A. MACMAHON, Senior Staff Tutor in Local History, The University of Hull © East YQrk.;hiT~ Local History Society '96' ROADS AND TURNPIKE TRUSTS IN EASTERN YORKSHIRE A major purpose of this survey is to discuss the ongms, evolution and eventual decline of the turnpike trusts in eastern Yorkshire. The turnpike trust was essentially an ad hoc device to ensure the conservation, construction and repair of regionaIly important sections of public highway and its activities were cornple menrary and ancillary to the recognised contemporary methods of road maintenance which were based on the parish as the adminis trative unit. As a necessary introduction to this theme, therefore, this essay will review, with appropriate local and regional illustration, certain major features ofroad history from medieval times onwards, and against this background will then proceed to consider the history of the trusts in East Yorkshire and the roads they controlled. Based substantially on extant record material, notice will be taken of various aspects of administration and finance and of the problems ofthe trusts after c. 1840 when evidence oftheir decline and inevit able extinction was beginning to be apparent. .. * * * Like the Romans two thousand years ago, we ofthe twentieth century tend to regard a road primarily as a continuous strip ofwel1 prepared surface designed for the easy and speedy movement ofman and his transport vehicles.

Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson Was Born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the Eldest Daughter of a Fish Merchant
Amy Johnson – Flying from Kingsbury Amy Johnson was born in Hull, in East Yorkshire, on 1 July 1903, the eldest daughter of a fish merchant. Her home town rightly celebrates a young woman who became a famous pilot, but it was the time she spent living and working in what is now the London Borough of Brent which paved the way for her flying career. Recent research has identified the house in Kingsbury where Amy Johnson lived, and this article will give readers a taste of her story, including her local connections. A postcard picture of Amy Johnson in 1930. [Image from the internet] After school in Hull, Amy went to Sheffield University, thinking that she would probably become a teacher. She graduated in 1925, with an ordinary degree in French, Latin and Economics, but then spent the summer at a secretarial college, and took a job as a short-hand typist at a Hull accountancy firm. In early 1927, she moved to London, first working in a shop for a couple of weeks, before getting a position in April as a secretary in a City law firm. A year later, a bus ride to explore the surrounding countryside brought her to Stag Lane Aerodrome, on the border between Kingsbury and Edgware. She sat down and watched the planes for several hours, and went back to her rented room knowing that she wanted to fly. An aerial view of Stag Lane Aerodrome in 1926. [Source: Brent Archives - online image 582] Amy found out that the De Havilland School of Flying charged £5 for a one hour flying lesson (more than her weekly wages!), but that if she joined the London Aeroplane Club, also based at Stag Lane, for three guineas, lessons cost “only” thirty shillings.

Despite all attempts it refused to start again and slowly the plane began to glide towards the shark-infested waters below. Instead she bought a Percival Gull monoplane, one of only nineteen ever made. Back in Britain she obtained a B licence permitting her to fly commercially and this led her to set up a passenger air service. There were bodies packed into the communal grave and finding her remains amongst the others would have been impossible; a simple plaque was erected on the wall above the grave.

DELIVERED TO HOMES IN IN THIS ISSUE LYMPNE, LYMPNE AIRFIELD SURVEY LYMPNE NEWINGREEN, RESULTS, PARISH COUNCILLOR COURT-AT VACANCY,SPEEDWATCH UPDATE, NEWSLETTER STREET AND HOUSEHOLD WASTE WEST HYTHE AND MUCH MORE AUGUST 2021 ROAD LYMPNE AIRFIELD MEMORIAL PARK—SURVEY RESULTS We would like to thank everyone who has completed the online survey and taken the time to write to the Parish Council with their comments about the proposed project.As a reminder, the project known as L.A.M.P. has been proposed after an offer in 2018 by Homes England the current owners of the Airfield for the Parish Council to tenant part of the land. The offer at the time was rejected at a public meeting held in the Village Hall for two main reasons 1. The length of the tenure and 2. the size of the plot being offered. Since then the Parish Council have been negotiating with the owners to meet the wishes of the public meeting. The idea of creating an area for the village and visitors to remember the history of the site and to support the varied wildlife seems to have hit a positive note with the owners and this prompted the issue of the survey to see what support there may be from the village. The Parish Council in no way condone the use of the field which is official private land, but realise that many people use it for walking and exercise. The survey closes on the 31st July and this article was written on the 27th July. 72 people completed the survey on line and several people contacted the Council via email– The survey consisted of 8 questions which asked people to make their comments or answer direct questions- Q1– Asked if you were a resident of Lympne Parish 71 replied yes 1 replied no Q2- Do you use Lympne Airfield and if so how often– This prompted various replies ranging from walking the dogs, running for fitness and walking through the area, for studying the history.
