The demolition of St Stephen’s Church, a special performance by Hull-born singer David Whitfield and a period of heavy snowfall were just some key events that took place in Hull way back when in 1955.
As Christmas draws to a close and we look forward to the New Year, there’s no better time to take a dig around in our archives and unearth some very nostalgic pictures of Hull and East Yorkshire 70 years ago, taken by photographers of the time.
Our trip to the past reveals a very different-looking Hull city centre and the East Yorkshire coast and gives a fascinating glimpse into what life was like in the area at the time.
As we approach 2025, take a look through our snapshot of 1955 in the gallery below.
