Another visit to Goole as it used to be - the shops, the people, the popular haunts and everyday ways of the town in the years after the last war. Moments of mischief at school when milk-bottle tops paved the way for a first kiss... the days of steam trains, of sitting around the radio, and the 'big' night-out at a cinema when Goole had three. Relive Whitsuntide processions of former times... the day the canal burst its banks... a night of disaster in Goole's river. Meet again some of the people prominent in Goole's past from the man who sailed the river 7,000 times to the man who taught thousands of local people to swim, and the town's first woman Mayor.
