  • The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an excellent place to visit if you are reaching out to the past in search of your ancestors.  In Hull the Family History Centre is located on Holderness Road (HU9 3JA) and it should be placed very high on you 'to do' list if your ancestors were part of the mass emigration from Europe to the UK, USA and Canada.  With plenty of on-site parking.

  • Beverley Treasure House is the home of the East Riding Archives Service, Located in Champney Road, Beverley (HU17 8HE).  Parking around the Treasure House is for Blue Badge holders only, but there are a number of car parks within walking distance and the bus and rail stations are within a ten minutes walk.  The archive holds a huge collection of records relating to Kingston upon Hull and the East Riding and there is a small on-site cafe.  For something a little more special make your way to Wednesday Market where there are some very enticing eateries to enjoy.
