St Stephens Neighbourhood Centre, Greatfield, Kinston Upon Hull

The sisters and their keen volunteers at St Stephen's have been busy with Adrian growing some fine looking spuds on a verge nearby.

These are now in flower, and make a great addition to the streetscape.   Just round the corner behind St Stephens itself is some more container growing, with potatoes, herbs, squash, broccoli and tomatoes on the go, and more to follow.

St Hildas Church, Greatfield, Kingston Upon Hull

The gardening club are doing great with a good crop of spuds about to flower, some fine looking runner beans, peas, and some strong looking brasicas too.  Much of their fruit and veg is grown up the fence so anyone passing by will be able to pick their own.

Tresure Corner - some of the amazing and less so things we have found digging

Its got nothing to do with food, but it is rather fun to look at some of the the things we have found across our many sites.This first batch is from Boulevard.


Here are a few pictures, and keep coming back as we will add new pics of things to this post. So far the oldest thing is a clay pipe from 1640 - 1700 shown below. Its a rare find by any measure.  At that point Hull only had a few thousand people living in it, and it was found on the Boulevard, which was the edge of town then, and possibly open fields.

Most other finds are 20th century including coins, one dating back to 1902.  The action man is of 1970s vintage, the car below is 1970s too.

 How it came to have a bramble root through it is pure chance, but it looks great.

How a 1980s ski binding got there we will never know and the car starting handle I'm sure was missed by someone, its a 1950s one we think. Remember that style of peps can, late 1980s, along with an old marmalade lid, a 1960s light switch and a Victorian brass tap.
