I’m getting quite a large backlog of photos again, so I’m going to post my remaining Hull photographs here in a single post. It’s a mixed bag of subjects, illustrative of the way I tend to photograph things, which is to pick a location, and then just explore, making pictures of the things I find interesting along the way.
These shots are posted in chronological order, so maybe with some filling in of the gaps, someone might be able to work out the approximate route taken.
The first shot is of the back of the Princes Quay shopping centre (in the background is the car park where we left the car for the day). I liked the light and the slightly futuristic architecture, like someones re-imagining of the old TV show and movie, Logan’s Run.
The next shot is of a house I walked past. Again, the sunlight falling on it made it look nice, but it has an interesting architecture, with balconies and verandahs. The green hedge, black metal fence, and splashes of colourful flowers also drew my eye.
Next, a couple of pictures taken around the marina. In the first, I think it’s was the boats name that made me smile, and I thought it worth a picture. The second it was the green boat that caught my attention. A working vessel that stood out among the sleek white pleasure craft.
Later in my wanders, I walked through Hepworth’s Arcade which dates back to the Victorian time, being opened in 1897. It retains it’s old-time charm and has a number of interesting shops (including an amazing jokes and novelties store).
Then we have a picture of the steps to the top of a curving bridge across the River Hull, and a view up the river from the top. If you follow the line of the river with your eye, you can just about make out the bridge that features further down this post next to the more prominent tall Gamebore building. We’ll see those again in a minute…
But before that, here’s an unusually large frog in front of the Streetlife Museum, and then some old but attractive brickwork in the garden at the rear of the Wilberforce Museum, with a looming wharf building behind.
And here’s the bridge and Gamebore building again. It’s the Drypool Bridge which I shared more pictures of a few days ago.
Bob Carver’s chippy is next. I’d hoped toget my lunch here, having visited before on past visits, but was disappointed to find it was closed down, so I couldn’t have a “pattie”. It’s not all bad news though as they now have new premises in a different part of the town centre, which I’ll bear in mind for any future trips.
And the final of my colour shots from Hull, here’s a picture of the beautiful 1936 art deco Burton’s building, which was recently restored. I’m not sure if it’s accommodating any new businesses yet, but it’s a gorgeous looking structure.
And that’s that. More shots from this roll of Ultramax still to come though, although maybe not just yet.
