	The North Eastern pre 1930s This early picture of the North Eastern appeared in Goole Times sometime in the 1970s. It was handed to the then manager, Mr H A Rodgers by a customer and shows the hotel before alterations/extensions of the 1930s. The sign over door reads 'William Ross Cattanach, licensed to sell British and foreign spirituous liquors, ale, porter and tobacco'. Another notice reads 'Commercial hotel, refreshment and dining rooms. Dinners daily, four courses 2s 6d. Luncheons, teas and suppers for any number on the shortest notice.' The photo was taken by Goole photographer William Westoby, who was taking pictures in Goole in the 1880s/90s. Information and the above photograph courtesy of Susan Butler.

	Looking down Boothferry Road This photograph shows the view down Boothferry Road with the North Eastern on the right hand side. It is uncertain when this photograph dates from but notice the absence of railway lines, even though there is already a subway. The mixture of white lines on the roads and a horse trotting down the street would date this photograph probably around the 1930s or 1940s.
