Welcome to lordline.co.uk

Lordline was established in 1996 and became the home of the Hull Memory Lane brand in 2008 following our acquisition of the renowned Memory Lane Studio on Hessle Road, Hull.

The popular studio and gallery had become a much-loved destination for those interested in Hull's rich social and maritime history. When the owner was forced to close the business due to ill health, there was a real risk that this unique collection of photographs, memories, and local heritage could be lost.

Recognising the importance of preserving this valuable archive for future generations, we stepped in to secure the collection and continue its legacy. Since then, Lordline has remained committed to celebrating the people, places, industries, and communities that have shaped Hull and the surrounding region.

Today, lordline.co.uk is being developed as a growing historical resource, bringing together thousands of images, stories, and memories that capture everyday life in Hull through the decades. From the fishing industry and Hessle Road to local businesses, streets, families, and community events, our aim is to preserve and share the city's remarkable heritage for generations to come.

Whether you are researching family history, reconnecting with old memories, or simply interested in Hull's past, we hope you enjoy exploring our collections.
