Family on Board
Janet Anderson nee Webster in conversation about life growing up in a family working and living on the River Hull. Janet’s family – the Websters – have been connected to the River Hull for over 250 years. One of ten children, the oldest four were all brought up on a barge before they started school. The family has River life in the blood.
From tales of bringing up families on the river to poaching, colourful characters and even murder, river life was full of interesting tales. Janet’s stories and photographs of her family on the river go back many years. One of 10 children, her Mother and Father – Roy Webster – brought up four of them all under school age on a working barge.
Listen to more of Janet’s stories of her family life living and working on the Greendale, illustrated by her photos:
