In the early years of the war people from Hull moved into the Wakefield area for various reasons.Children came as evacuees and my family came with others to build food stores so food could be stored inland away from the docks and bombing in Hull.
Prior to the war the Rev. John Barton was the vicar of St Stephens church in Hull.This was the parish church where my grandparents attended.The church was in the centre of Hull and was destroyed by bombs.
After leaving St Stephens,Rev. Barton and his family came to Chapelthorpe Church in 1937.As a family we would come to Chapelthorpe.I was only 6 or 7 years old.I remember a party for children from Hull being held in Crigglestone,I think,at the school.Rev.Barton and his sons were there and their grandmother nanna Barton.
What I remember most were pieces of gristle in the potted meat sandwiches.
