Walk in the footsteps of the man behind Get Carter.

Many people know the film Get Carter, but fewer know the remarkable story of the man who wrote the novel that inspired it.

Edward Alfred “Ted” Lewis (1940–1982) was born in Stretford, Manchester before moving to Barton upon Humber as a child. Growing up, he explored the Humber Estuary, the abandoned Adamant Cement Works, and the streets and landscapes around Barton that would later inspire his writing.

Those early experiences shaped the dark, gritty style that earned him recognition as the Father of British Criminal Noir. Alongside his novels, Ted was also a talented artist and musician, worked on the Beatles’ Yellow Submarine, and created a body of work that continues to influence crime writers and filmmakers today.

The Ted Lewis Centre in Barton upon Humber celebrates his life and legacy through exhibitions, archives and guided heritage trails.

The next Ted Lewis Trail takes place on Saturday 1st August (12.30pm–3.00pm).

This immersive guided walk explores the streets, buildings and locations that influenced one of Britain’s greatest crime writers. Whether you’re a fan of Get Carter, local history, industrial heritage, or simply want to discover Barton from a different perspective, it’s a fascinating experience.

Places are now being booked.

To reserve your place, please contact the Ted Lewis Centre, Barton upon Humber.

For more information or bookings, visit:
Ted Lewis Centre⁠

Please share with anyone who loves local history, literature, or wants to discover the remarkable story of one of North Lincolnshire’s most influential writers.

Appeal for Information – Darleys to Spire Neighbourhood Watch

A van parked at the rear of 186 Beverley Road, Hessle, was broken into between approximately 4:00 am and 5:00 am this morning. (23rd July)

Thankfully there was no damage to the vehicle, but a battery-powered STIHL blower, charger, two batteries, and a trail camera were stolen.

Interestingly, nothing was left on display. Whoever was responsible took the time to search the van carefully. On a slightly ironic note, thank you for not damaging the plants or leaving the van trashed while helping yourselves to the equipment.

If you live nearby and have CCTV, a Ring doorbell, or dashcam footage covering that time, I’d be very grateful if you could check for any suspicious people or vehicles in the area. Even the smallest detail could help.
If you have any information, please send me a private message or contact Humberside Police, quoting Crime Report Number: HP-20260723-.

Please also take this as a reminder not to leave valuable tools, batteries or equipment in vehicles overnight wherever possible.

These are exact pics of the equipment stolen - a solar powered trail camera - set up to catch thieves in the van window 😂

Neighbourhood Watch – July 2026 Round-Up

A few key updates from the latest East Riding Neighbourhood Watch newsletter:

✅ Four new Neighbourhood Watch groups have been established in Reedness, Bridlington (Long Lane), Driffield (The Avenue) and Ganstead.

👋 Maureen has retired after many years of service. Her replacement, Lorna, joins the Anti-Social Behaviour Team in August.

🚨 Action Fraud is now “Report Fraud” – this is now the official national service for reporting fraud and cybercrime.

📲 If you haven’t already, it’s well worth signing up to My Community Alert. It’s free and provides local crime updates, fraud warnings, police news and the option to register your CCTV or video doorbell. I’ve personally received burglary alerts for my area through the service.

🎥 The Safe & Sound Grant now includes funding for video doorbells for eligible older and disabled residents, subject to the scheme’s criteria.

🔒 Low-cost crime prevention products such as shed alarms, personal alarms, cycle locks and CCTV signs remain available through the Neighbourhood Network shop.

A big thank you to all Neighbourhood Watch coordinators and volunteers who continue to help make our communities safer. Every extra pair of eyes really does make a difference.

☀️ Summer Neighbourhood Watch – Top Tips

🏡 Keep windows and doors secure
Open windows are an easy opportunity for opportunist thieves. Lock up when you’re out, even if it’s only for a short time.

📦 Don’t leave parcels on display
If you’re expecting a delivery, ask a trusted neighbour to take it in or use a safe place. Parcels left on the doorstep can advertise that nobody is home.

🗑️ Don’t put your bins out days early
If you’re going away, avoid putting bins out in advance. It can be a sign that a property is temporarily unoccupied.

🚗 Make your home look lived in
Use timer switches for lights, ask someone to draw curtains, move bins back after collection, and remove post from behind the door.

🤝 Let a trusted neighbour know
If you’re away, ask someone you trust to keep an eye on your property and report anything unusual.

👀 See something? Say something.
If something doesn’t look right in your neighbourhood, trust your instincts and report suspicious activity to the police.

The nice weather has brought them out! Obvious signs someone’s been in the garden. They might be in for a nasty surprise if they come again 😂

☀️ Summer Security Reminder ☀️

With warmer weather, lighter evenings and open windows, it’s worth remembering that opportunist thieves are always looking for easy access.

Before you head out — or go to bed — take a few minutes to check:

🔒 Lock all doors and windows
🔑 Don’t leave keys in locks or visible near doors/windows
📦 Keep valuable items out of sight
💡 Use timer lights if you’re out late or away
📹 Check your CCTV is working and covering key areas
🚨 Set your alarm, even if you’re only popping out
🚗 Lock vehicles and don’t leave tools or bags inside

Think about natural security too:

🌿 Prickly hedging under windows can deter access
🌳 Keep fences and gates secure
✂️ Trim back overgrown areas where intruders can hide
🔦 Motion sensor lights can make a big difference

Most break-ins are about opportunity — don’t make it easy.

Look after your neighbours too, especially elderly residents.

Stay alert. Stay secure. Protect your home.

Not the Kind of Mark We Want to Leave on Our Community

Someone has vandalised a local footpath with racist and offensive graffiti. Apart from being unsightly, this kind of behaviour damages community pride and sends the wrong message about our neighbourhood.

Graffiti can be cleaned up. The bigger challenge is maintaining respect for the shared spaces we all use.

If you recognise the writing or have any information, please report it through the proper channels.

A clean, cared-for environment helps everyone feel safer and more welcome.

May 30th footpath/cycle path between Darleys and Spire.

Beware - where there’s a will there’s a way!

11/03/2026

Listening to the Radio today, a lady from a hamlet described how she was scammed, I thought it was worth mentioning because we all use parcel deliveries and how many times do you see a picture posted on social media with someone asking have you got my parcel?

A picture of someone’s garden/step doorway?

This ladies parcel had gone astray - delivered by EVRI - they yadnt done anything wrong but because the lady couldn’t contact them, she became frustrated and posted on social media - this is where the scam took place - a man with a authentic looking profile suggested the lady join an evri missed deliveries customer services chat group on WhatsApp - she did and she received a message saying that evri would call her later that day - she didn’t believe it, but as promised a person claiming to be evri did call and said her parcel was lost and they would refund her the £100 plus costs but first she had to set up a payment account - she downloaded the app and followed his instructions - eventually she had set up a recipient account (his) not hers but she didn’t know that - he said she needed to enter a code to enable payment into the screen the code was actually a number like 250.50 so he then withdrew the amount plus the £100.

She said as the process went on she felt is was a scam but still proceeded because she felt frustrated about the non delivery and everything seemed so genuine.

She said she felt embarrassed afterwards and found it hard to tell anyone because she thought of herself clever enough to avoid being scammed.

It’s one of the many to watch out for!
