Some years ago a customer emailed me these rather fine pics from her home town of Goole.
I have always liked them and I think it`s time to share them with the world.
I believe they depict the offices of the Goole Times.
Goole Times still exists, though now based in different premises, and, along with it`s sister paper the Selby Times, proudly boasts of being "the area`s only locally-owned newspapers" (both belong to the Goole-based Chronicle Publications).
I don`t know if the building still exists. If anyone can answer that, I`d be interested to hear from you.
I`ve noticed a couple of sites online that may be interesting if you want to know more about the history of Goole. One is Howdenshire History, the other is eastyorkshirehistory.blogspot.co.uk . I expect there are others if you search about a bit.
Footnote - I`m grateful to Susan Butler of the Howdenshire History web site for answering my question about this building. I`m pleased to be able to tell you that this building does still exist and is currently in use as a Cancer Research Shop. It was the second building to be used by the Goole Times and I would think it was purpose built for them.
If you have a few spare moments you could do much worse than visit Susan`s site, which is well worth a visit.
