Can you help contribute to a forthcoming exhibition celebrating the 75th anniversary of the granting of Goole's Charter or Incorporation?
Do you have any photographs, objects or memories relating to the 1933 charter celebrations, or to any of the anniversary celebrations of the past. This could include anything from a poster to an outfit worn to one of the celebratory dances that were held.
What do you think are the key events in the last 75 years of Goole's history?
If you live locally and would like to volunteer to help put together the temporary exhibition, then please contact Sarah Ellington, (Volunteer Co-ordinator) or pop into the museum.

Seems like nothing has happened in 75 years, try your luck with a longer time span? (tongue in cheek).
I wonder whose idea it was to have 'Vikings' as supporters on the Goole coat of arms with horns and other peculiar objects on their helmets. There is no historical or archaeological evidence whatsoever that Vikings had horns or other adornments on their helmets (check with Jorvik Viking Museum in York). This is believed to be simply a bit of Victorian imaginative creativity that has, unfortunately, become embedded in popular consciousness.
Would like to contact the gentleman who remembered being on the pug engine with my father Freeman orange. Would be pleased to contact.
Would the writer of a recent posting a grandson of Ivy Rowley get in touch . My husband Brian Freeman Orange is the son of the Freeman Orange who worked on the railways and is more than likely the man you mentioned in your feature.
I have the chocolate tin presented to the children of Goole by Prince George in 1933. I will send you a picture of if you give me your Email. You can forward it on to the museum.
