had a way to his lime kiln. Thomas Broadley's purchase 

 included houses, shops, and warehouses, let to Robert 

 Owing and others. In 1768 Owing demised to Burrill a new 

 built house and buildings adjoining ground of the Rev. John 

 Collings on south and east. 



Early in the eighteenth century, Lime Street was called 

 the High Road to Stoneferry and Sutton. It ran close to the 

 raised bank of the river, which left a width of some thirty or 

 forty yards of grass between bank and stream. The local 

 name for this space, covered only at the highest tides, was 

 the Growths, or Groves. 



For a quarter of a mile from Bridge-Foot the High Road 

 ran past old enclosed lands on the right, that extended back 

 in long strips as far as Summergangs Dike, where Dansom 

 Lane was afterwards made. The Growths along the river, 

 opposite to each plot, belonged to the plot. 



In Joseph Osborne's Map of 1668, in the Hull Museum, 

 a wooden windmill is shewn near the river, not far from 

 the North Bridge. In Captain Philips's Map, of 1720, 

 the separate plots on the right of the high road, divided 

 by ditches, seem to be carefully indicated. Early in the 

 eighteenth century, shipbuilding and seed-crushing, already 

 well established on the Sculcoates bank,* were in contempla- 

 tion on "Sutton Side," as it was sometimes called. A rape 

 mill, an oyle mill, a warehouse, one good residence, and 

 some small farm buildings, already stood near the high 

 road to Stoneferry, and the brickmaker was making ready 

 for the builder. 



The suburb springing up was called Brick-Kilns. The 

 whole district, which was afterwards called the Groves, was 

 still reckoned to be in the Sutton portion of Drvpool. 



At, or close to the entrance to the High Road from Bridge- 

 Foot, was a tavern called "The Antigallican," a sign very 

 popular in those days of hatred against the French. It was 

 pulled down about 1765, before the house next door was 

 bought to make the outlet for Sutton Drain, then about to 

 be cut.-]- In 1730, Hannah, the widow of Edward Johnson, 

 Grocer, conveyed to her son, William Johnson, "of Brick- 



* Wincolmlee, about which there is an absurd legend of an old 

 woman who would "wink and lie," is there. I think the name was 

 brought from Wincolmlee, near Newcastle, by Hugh Mason, who owned 

 the Charterhouse lands adjoining, or perhaps by one who was connected 

 with shipping.
