Hull’s River Bridges: Keith and Trevor – Lightermen
Keith and Trevor were Lightermen. They both joined the lighterage in Hull in 1960 and operated dumb barges (lighters), that is a barge without an engine and with only a pole to steer it, taking dry cargoes from the docks to the mills and wharfs on the river as far north as Stoneferry. Here they give us an entertaining insight into their times on the river and negotiating its bridges. Brig Oy!
