This third volume of Goole's history covers the time between the two World Wars. Beginning with the dedication of the town's war memorial the books look at the celebration of the centenary in 1926 and the visit of Prince George in 1933. It also describes the three terrible tragedies that hit the town with the losses of the Goole ships - the Merville, the Calder and the Broomfleet. But a large part of the book is about memories - of life on the docks and life in the kitchen - as well as memories of the shops and the people in the twenties and thirties.
