Drag artist Ray Millington who first performed as Kandy de Barry in the 1980’s and now, over 50 years later, is still performing as Bobby Mandrell is highlighted on BBC Look North. Nice for me too that the BBC used my pictures to help illustrate Ray’s story.

Star & Garter - Then and Now
zhlédnutí 236Před 5 měsíci
The Star & Garter pub is sited on the corner of Hessle Road and West Dock Avenue and was once the centre of Hull’s fishing community. For years it was known locally as Rayners, nick-named such after it’s larger-than-life 1930’s landlord, Henry Rayner. It was the traditional meeting and drinking place of deep sea trawler-men, who worked three weeks at sea and then came home onshore for just thre...
‘Ladies and Gentlemen, Kandy de Barry!’

Ray Millington was born in HU3, Hull in 1953. A career as a merchant seaman took a dramatic change when Ray and a few friends planned to attend a drag show while onshore in Hull. Landlady Clarice Mack told them the act had let her down and would not be appearing. Persuaded by his friends Ray rushed to his mother’s house, shaved off his moustache and sideburns, raided her wardrobe and delighted ...

A quick flick through the book designed by Verity Watkins of my pictures shot during the street party celebrations to mark the coronation of King Charles III in Hereford Road, Wanstead London. We hope it serves as a family keepsake of a great day of the community getting together. The road was (just about) empty of vehicles, children enjoyed the safe space, good food and the rain held off.

The Lea Bridge Road, Living the Changes
zhlédnutí 134Před rokem
I’ve been shooting pictures along the Lea Bridge Road, London for about a year on and off. When I take portraits, I ask the people in my pictures three questions; what they like most about Lea Bridge Road, what they least like and what changes have they seen. It’s very much work in progress to document what I think is a very special part of London.

Nice to see the images and hear the comments, Russell.
thanks John - hope you keeping well
Brilliant bit of history! There’s another Star & Garter vintage pub in Manchester (Fairfield Street near Picadilly train station), famous as TV film set for “Brassic”!! Has regular live music upstairs mostly heavy punk type bands.
Brilliant achievement G! The prize for all your hard work and passion. X
Great to See James Rutter reading the racing pages -- he was the board man at Art Wells /Coral bookmakers.
Glad you like it - it took a while for me to get the names after so many years
It's aluminium you knob!
We moved on hoss n cart twice. My uncle Baggy was awesome!
Absolutely Brilliant, True Social History, very well put together👍thanks for sharing, I as on Hessle Road the other day as well, will call in for a swift half next time I’m passing 😊
So glad you enjoyed it - enjoy the drink !!
*Promosm* 👍
Wonder if anyone in the Bristol area remember two brothers i think they were called Reg, Lenny they had a nickname they were called the Twinners usually collected scrap in a pram,two lovely characters.this would have been around the early 1980ies
thanks - what is interesting is that I photographed a man pushing a trolley loaded with scrap along Lea Bridge Road's cycle lane about two weeks ago - no cry from him as he had a full load!
Last week while working in Enfield i heard a rag n bone shouting any ole iron,lovely to hear
a life lived from scrap i take my hat off to you
Thank you for this nostalgic and historic documentation, Russell. Subscribed. All the best. Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎 🕊
So glad you like it. It was fun shooting the original story in 1983/4 and the follow up all those years later. Take care
Great video brings back Great memories just behind the post office corner Madley st and Hessle rd Bath house .I remember lots all good 👍
Thanks and glad it brought back fond memories
Fantastic pictures and memories - thank you for sharing these Russell Boyce and well done Andrea for giving up the smokes!! I’m off them only 3 months myself!!
Hi Sean glad you like the exhibition. Are you in one of the pictures?
@@russellboycephotographer Hi Russell, I’m not in any of the photographs but I grew up in the 80’s and your photographs remind me of happy times!
RESPECT!!!
Tip top! Very interesting...
Thanks a million
I am 28 years old and been doing this since the age of 6, the sound of Rag and Bone round my streets wont die until i do
That's great to hear. May it continue for many years to come.
God bless you son long may it last👍
I'm looking forward to this.
Hi Cathy - the exhibition at the Peterborough Museum & Art Gallery is now open - enjoy
George is a true gent and a great photographer. If you ever wanted a definition of Hull it'll be him. Salt of the earth
too true
If we heard them coming down Spyvee street, we would have knocked round all the neigbours and gathered a big enough bag of rags to earn a balloon by the time they got to Egton Street. :)
Wow good on you both keep it up shame there nothing like it north wales
thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
Been doing scrap 30 years respect to the old school
I’ve met this guy Russell Boyce in 2004 in London. Illustrating pubs today is important because a lot of them are disappearing as are local police stations. I love this type of documentary work & you can go all over the world but the essence you feel in your local community is something else & that is also a subjective argument of what is local.
I'm from Suffolk, but worked in Hull in the late '70s. Great times with folk who made me so welcome, and the pubs well, fantastic including this one I remember well! There was also one (I think) called The Zooilogical? Stood alone with surrounding buildings knocked down, great boozer I guess sadly long gone, anyway, thanks for some great memories there and thank you people of Hull!
Yes the Zoo. Fantastic pub that was propped by wooden beams and sold a great pint of mild. It’s now the site of the Hull Daily Mail offices, I think, assuming the Hull Daily Mail is still there.
Wow great job.
Thank you!
We still have the Rag n Bone man round our streets up the coast in Saltburn. Always makes me smile when I hear the shout. Recycling is key as we move forwards.
Could not agree more
@@russellboycephotographer great video highlighting this family and the lfie led. 2x x👍
So interesting and these fellas are legends , proper grafters old skool 👌 The Dad i wish him all the very best ..
Thanks and glad you find this interesting
Here in Middlesbrough (and a rough estate) we have a rag bone fella lives up the road from me. I nicked a few golf clubs off the van the other week went and played golf in the park and put them back lol So I guess I "borrowed" them lol
I think you can say the golf clubs were truly recycled
That's a very creative concept. Love it.
Thanks Neil, Glad you like it!
I make bread out of nothing but air , I have left the house without a penny in my pocket and come home with a thousand pounds in it some days and sometimes I have come home hungry tired and not a penny to my name . I work for me and me only I don’t cheat or steal I earn a honourable living but no other man makes money from my labour .
a nice thought
fantastic bit of social history

Mentioned in the Sunbirds song ‘Meet you on the Northside’ Hull’s own Dave Hemingway on vocals!
we are slowly losing the best generation that ever lived!! so so sad to think about.
i'd like to think that every generation has more to offer but for sure what proceeded us was something very special.
Aw Russell, just discovered you. This takes me back to my own childhood here in Scotland. Im nearly 60 and we had a ragbone man in the 60s. I remember getting a baloon or a multi coloured ball. And we thought this was fantastic. How kids have changed. Offer a baloon now and you'd end up wearing it!. Happy days. Its great for you folks in Hull, that you still have your Rag n bone man. Keep up the good work auld yin. Theres 25 years left in you yet! Take care all
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks
Impressive and very well done!
Thank you very much Ted
35 years ago I had a little haulage company and my ex father in law was head of Norweb and he wangled it for me to collect the old appliances which got stripped down and plenty of money was earned
My family, the Midgley's were proper rag n bone men in Hull, we had a horse and cart, which I used to ride with my Uncle Tommy way back in the 60's, before that his dad Thomas ran the business, I think we suffered much more abuse in those days, but as the saying goes, where there's muck there's brass
Terry sorry to hear about the abuse. As they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
