Taylor said his love of art began at Spyvee Street, which was demolished during the 1960s.
“It was fabulous to live down there. We enjoyed ourselves,” he explained.
“It was just after the war and people were still on rations.
“It was what you would call a poor area, one of the poorest areas in Hull, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
Taylor said he was currently working on a canvas of a street scene showing preparations for Bonfire Night.
His friends and the people who lived in the street were being painted from memory.
