 | | Goole is a tightly-knit community and many of its present-day inhabitants are descended from families who have lived in the town since the early days of the nineteenth century. |
 | | You will see, too, a picture of Goole's first doctor, who sailed on a whaling ship before coming to Goole and fighting one of the most severe cholera epidemics in Yorkshire, of Old Goole's first Post Office, and of the fire which destroyed the town's original market hall. |
 | | There are not many families in Goole who have not had some connection with the docks, the shipping companies and the waterways. |
