'The secret of enjoying the history of the Yorkshire fishing industry involved two aspects' says Ron Freethy in this new book. 'Visit the museums and talk to the volunteers and visit the harbour and talk to the boatmen'. For those who for one reason or another cannot do either of these things, this book with its first-hand accounts, local anecdotes, well-researched stories and contemporary photographs provides the perfect alternative. The major local ports include Whitby, Staithes, Flamborough, Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough, Filey, Bridlington and Hull. By far the largest was Hull. This book captures the heyday of the local fishing industry and records for all time a way of life that has now gone for ever.

This fascinating book is a history of the inshore fishing communities between the Tees and the Humber. It describes the fishing seasons and boats and gear they employed and the patterns of domestic life that supported these unique societies. For centuries the knowledge which sustained the traditional culture was passed from generation to generation, but following the introduction of the internal combustion engine to fishing local memories began to fade. In the 1970s Professor Frank set about rescuing as much of that knowledge as survived and this much admired book is the result. The book is richly illustrated with photographs by Frank Meadow Sutcliffe and paintings by J.R. Bagshawe.

The East Anglian herring fishing industry can trace its roots back to before the Norman's arrived in 1066. The main ports, and great rivals were Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. This continued when local entrepreneur Samuel Morton Peto built a new fish market in Lowestoft to connect with main railways in 1882. It was then possible to land fish one morning and have the catch available in the fish market of Manchester or London by the next. In this book, Ian Robb who lives in Lowestoft and joined the local fishing fleet in 1962, draws together the stories of those who can remember, providing a lasting record for generations to come.
