Walker Street, WW1 Memorial, Hull

Hull’s Walker Street war memorial is a grey, marble, obelisk, located outside the Church of Holy Apostles (Thornton Community Hall). It is dedicated to the men of Parish, killed in the First World War. Like most Hull memorials it was initiated by the local church, erected in the early 1920’s and paid for by public subscriptions.

It records 138 surnames with initials, mostly in alphabetical order. Each names is incised in gold lettering. There are no references to rank, regiment or the date that these men died. Like most memorials there are some errors, with misspelt names and incorrect initials. For example, Norrod should read Morrod and Granton is really Grantham. Dasdale, is actually Dosdale, and Elgy is Elgey. In an era of poor literacy, hand writing, and strong accents, names could easily be mis recorded. Men were also listed as how people remembered them. For example, Robert Reed is recorded on the Memorial as B Reed, after his nickname “Bertie”.

The names at the end of memorial are not in alphabetical order, suggesting that these names were added to fill the existing space on the memorial, before its completion.

Fifty Nine of the 138 men, served in the East Yorkshire Regiments and 28 of these died, serving with the Hull Pal Battalions. 13 men served with other Yorkshire regiments. There are also 22 sailors, including two Sea captains, 6 Artillery and 2 Cavalry men, listed on the Memorial. All the known men served in the British armed forces, apart from, Harold Coulson, who fought for the Australians. The Highest ranking soldier are four Sergeants, three of which served in the Artillery. Most of the casualties recorded were Privates. There are no Military Officers recorded on the Memorial.

Four of the names on the Memorial are untraced. They include S.T.E Coates, who does not appear in any Commonwealth War Grave or War Pension records. Similarly, C. Richards, and S. Miller, are hard to verify. John Walker Jederin is another man hard to trace. He appears on the memorial with his brother, Andrew Walker Jederin, but has no surviving Service records. Both brothers, lived at 14 Model Dwellings, Midland Street, which still stands today. It is only a guess, but these unidentified men may have been fishermen, discharged servicemen, or Munition workers, killed in accidents, who are often forgotten war casualties. They were obviously well known within the community, for someone, to include them on the memorial.

The casualties include sons, fathers, husbands, brothers, churchmen, workmates and sportsmen. Every person on the memorial was an individual with their own story and there are many stories to tell. For example, Edward Gohl, of 49, Waverley Street, was the son of a Naturalised German, who ran successful sweet shops, in Hull and Withernsea. The family experienced much anti German feeling during the war, despite Edward’s siblings all serving. His brothers were Charles Gohl, RASC, who served in France 1917-18; Harry Gohl, RE’s, France 1915-18; Richard Gohl who joined the Navy c 1917 and his sister Louisa Gohl who was VAD Nurse in France in 1916.

Another casualty on the Walker Street Memorial, is Private, Albert Parry, who was shot for desertion, on 30th August 1917, aged 43. He lived nearby, at 11, Empringham Terrace, Daltry Street. Also, Private, Charles Arthur Lockton, of 14, William Street, Hull, who was discharged from the army, with shell shock and died of insanity, on 13th November 1918, aged 38. Their families would have fought hard against social stigma, to include their names on the local war memorial and thanks to their efforts, we can tell their stories today.

The first Casualty was Henry Bricklebank, killed on the 28th October 1914, aged 19. The last Casualty was Walter Richards, aged 45, killed on the 14th December 1919, when his ship, “Isle of Man”, hit a stray mine and was lost with all hands. Again a reminder, that sailor casualties continued long after the war ended.

The casualties include the three Perry brothers, from 81 Hessle Road. There are also two Bricklebank brothers, two Scaifes, and two Snowden brothers, recorded on the war memorial. The three Wemyss names recorded, are a father and his two sons. Another father and son lost – were Alfred Brett (aged 57) and his son John (aged 39).

Most of the casualties occurred between the 30th May 1916 and 31st December 1917. William Hare was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, four men died on 13th November 1916, when the Hull Pals attacked the Somme village of Serre. Two other “Hull Pals” died at Oppy Wood, Arras, on 3rd May 1917 and are also recorded on this memorial. The men are buried at more than 70 cemeteries, worldwide, including Malta, Greece, Germany, and Turkey. Nine men are buried in Hull. Most men are commemorated in France and Belgium. At least 63 men have no known grave.

The youngest casualty, was William King, 12th East Yorkshire Regiment, who died of wounds, in Hull, on 12th July 1916, aged 17. The eldest casualty, was William Wemyss, aged 62. He was Master, of the Merchant vessel, “Nimrod”, lost at sea, on 18th December 1917. The average age of those killed was 26 years old. Eighteen of the men recorded on the memorial were teenagers.

Four men were awarded the Military Medal for bravery (Not shown on the Memorial). They were James Dobbs, John Dobson, Tom Hall and George Oakes.

The Walker Street area was badly bombed during WW2 and many of the original streets, where replaced by Council housing in the 1960’s. However, the war memorial survived, leaving Walker Street, the only Council estate in the country with its own WW1 memorial. The memorial stands today, as a constant reminder that this area was once a historic part of Hull, a time, when Hull’s population was increasing and Hull was expanding westwards away from the crowded city centre. It was then a largely poor, over crowded area, built on reclaimed marsh land, where new arrivals to Hull, first settled. It was a bustling, noisy, smelly, vibrant place, packed with terraced housing, factories, busy shops and pubs. Despite the many hardships, there remained a community motivated enough, to build a memorial that would forever remember their sacrifice during the First World War.

Although the layout of the area is different, the slum clearance and post war reconstruction, retained many original street names, like Great Thornton Street, Porter Street, Adelaide Street, Pease Street, Luke Street, and New Michael Street. Other places, like Cogan Street, Day Street, Goodwin Street, Wakefield Street and Staniforth Place have disappeared from memory. Other developments like the building of the A63 (Clive Sullivan Way), in the 1980’s, also changed the area. This major road effectively dissected the parish, into two and separated the war memorial, from the Streets, south of Hessle Road, where many of the men lived and worked. These included, James Street, English Street, Edgar Street, and Waverley Street, which still remain in name, but have been largely cleared of homes. There still exists some original terraced housing from the First World War, on Midland Street and Osborne Street. Other old brick buildings, including pubs, like the Darley Arms, on William Street, the Vauxhall Tavern and the Alexandra Hotel, on Roper Street, also give clues to what this area might have looked like, when these men were called to war. The area was bombed by Zepplins in 1915 and many of the surrounding streets, suffered in the First World War. For example, Adelaide Street, lost 46men in the war, Porter Street, 36; Osborne Street, 23; Great Thornton Street, 21, St Luke’s Street, 15, Pease Street, 11; and Linnaeus Street, 14 men.

There are many names not included on the Walker Street Memorial which should be. Walker Street alone lost 58 men in the war, but only a handful appear on this memorial. There maybe good reasons for this. People moved away from the area when the war memorial was compiled. Others left no relatives to remember them. Some perhaps, were commemorated on other church memorials within the area. For example, St Thomas Church, on Campbell Street, was the first Church to erect a war memorial during the First World War. Their memorial “Roll of Honour”, was dedicated on 14th November, 1915 and was probably the first Church in Britain, to start the idea of a war memorial. Similarly, Thornton Hall on Great Thornton Street and St James’, on Edgar Street, were magnificent Churches, that each had WW1 Memorials. Sadly, these churches were bombed during WW2 and their memorials were lost forever.

Many men were also remembered on the many Street Shrines, in the Walker Street area. May Terrace, Walker Street unveiled the first Street Shrine. This began a “craze”, and many streets in Hull, copied the idea and erected their own “Shrines”, to remember local men serving.

The Hull Daily Mail records, that, “Walker Street to Tadman Street, possessed 30 to 40 shrines – canopied with flags, from end to end and scarcely a house, is not gaily dressed with bunting and displaying portraits of the King, Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener, with Admirals and Generals, of Britain and her Allies. Even the Terrace yards and squares, where the poor families dwell, were a brilliant mass of paper flowers and patriotic mottoes, while every window displayed the photo, either of soldiers, blue jackets, or minesweepers, who have left that house to fight for their country.” It continues, “The remembrance of these (Shrines), filled the hearts of many women who crowded before the shrine and moved them to tears.” (Hull Daily Mail, 25/09/1916)

Hopefully, all the men that should have been on the Walker Street War Memorial where remembered elsewhere on these many Street Shrines. (See – https://ww1hull.com/hull-street-shrines/
