Bransholme is an area or housing estate situated on the north-eastern side of Kingston upon Hull, England. The name Bransholme comes from an old Scandinavian word meaning Brand's water meadow. This blog hopes to bring together research about the area, its history and its residents. This research will inform the arts strand of the NHS' health centre planned for Bransholme.

"Here's an idea: Bransholme Tenants will 'dig' "

Hull Times headline
4th August 1972

"Many of Bransholme's residents who moved to their new homes from Hull's older, closely knit communities have certainly missed one facility which formed a traditional part of life - the allotment.

For those people living in maisonettes and high rise flats gardening became a mere memory when they moved in. On Bransholme many houses also have smallish gardens giving little scope for cultivation.

Action However has now been taken. Last week at Dulverton School - which is fast turning into Bransholmes focal point - a meeting of tenants was held and the outcome was that the Bransholme Satellite Allotment Association was formed."
