Hull Daily Mail from Hull, Humberside, England • 15

THE DAILY MAIL THURSDAY JUNE 25 1981 15 Trader: I can see future for Hessle IT'S OPEN A giant rail ticket for Coun Nellie Stephenson from personality girt Julie Shaw during the opening of tne Humberlink service at Barton Bus-rail link 'A new concept' Bridge viewing area for a year has been there for a month Last week it dealt with about 2000 queries mostly from English tourists about 200 foreign visitors and between 300 and 400 local people "Most of the inquiries are about the Bridge and what sort of walks there are in the area and the places to visit" said Mr John Sunley supervisor FAIR AMOUNT "But we do get a fair amount of inquiries about toilets and there any down here except mi the playing fields or in Hessle square which is a good walk The lack of facilities has caused not a little distress to Mrs Elizabeth Gosling whose home in ClifT Road is closest to the Bridge She used to allow elderly people in need into her home until one Sunday when her hospitality was abused Now she lets no one in but desperation still leads people into her garden HESSLE residents greeted the opening of the Humber Bridge with cautious optimism and a certain grudging pride There was little sign of an excited rush to the foreshore to watch the first vehicles cross yesterday and several residents said they would wait for the ceremonial opening by the Queen Some shops which are normally closed all day or for a halfday on Wednesday were open in the hope of getting extra trade Fruiterer Mr Barry Thompson is among those who are optimistic (torn a commercial point of view about the effect the Bridge may have on the town He opened a shop in Preston-gate 10 months ago because of his belief that the Bridge would bring more custom "I think people will come from the Barton side and I can see a future for Hessle That is the reason we came he said Mrs Hillary Broughton of 12 Trinity Grove Hessle was waiting to catch a bus out of Hessle without a second thought about missing the opening Like many people her attitudes range from awe at the beautiful structure of the Bridge to doubt about its purpose Judging by comments from other Hessle residents a large number are eager to foot it across once the Bridge is opened to pedestrians They include Mrs Beatrice Whinham (72) of 11 Pickering Homes Gipsyville who lived in Hessle for over 40 years She and a woman friend who is 69 years old are waiting' to take the long walk Mrs Dora Ballam of 98 Seaton Road Hessle was expecting to be driven across last night by her son-in-law Mr John KeaL who lives in Barton The tourist

Brief ONLY 65p 3-Piece Lounge Suite ambition fulfilled--the opening of the greatest Bridge in the world and he was first across As I set off I had a foaling of considerable satisfaction that after all thee years the Bridge was now in use" ha reflected on the events of a few hours earlier Despite the problems over tha years our efforts have been successful After all there were people who said it would nevor even bo finished" ha went on But I bed no doubts about only a tremendous confidence that tha day would coma whan it was completed For me tha day was all and more than I expected Of course wo had Intended that tha real occasion would bo on July 17 the first day of the Bridge would be whan tha Quean opened It But obviously that couldn't bo so with all tha public and madia attention In a way I suppose we were taken for ride by the populace end the Press "Bo much for our low key celebrations" ha laughed But July 17 win still be tha day as far at I am concerned" Coun Clarke looking a bit tired after the oxhultatlon of an amaalng first" reflected on the events which almost marred the opening ceremony When I heard there waa supposed to be a bomb I was a bit sceptical" he admitted After a while though nettling seamed to bs happening and I aekad about going ahead and they said they couldn't find tha driver "That was rather strange" mused Coun Clarke because he knew he had to taka us across at 1130 am" Now able to tea tha funny aide of It ha joked with perhaps just a hint of seriouaness: I thought maybe there was no bomb but someone had popped the driver into a car and rushed off with him Ha added It turned out of course that he waa told to get clear with everyone else because of the bomb hoax Evan so I was a bit worried and wondered If It wasn't a hoax after all Coun Clarke's one reget was ha confessed that the hoax and the missing driver had diverted all the public attention away from the Bridge's and it caused delays for the hundreds of people waiting to gat across for tha first time It was a long tiring day in anyone's book but for Coun Clarke there was no rest: Another meeting tonight" he said without a hint of resignation in his voice KNITTINGYARNS
