This eyesore lies only 500 yds or so from the new St Stephens shopping project. Priorities?.

One of Hulls oldest, and well kept establishments, nice to see it still with us despite anti-smoking hooha.

Building on the right is the fishing/whaling museum. A monument to the heroism of early whalers, and object lesson in mans inhumanity to other creatures.

This booking office is no longer used, but retained for historical reasons. It may well be a listed building.

Now a nightclub - 2nd, or is it 3rd incarnation,
famous for its sticky carpets and undocumented unisex toilets.

This monument was erected to commemorate the fallen of the Boer war, but has assumed that role for all conflicts since.

Canon a95 using a wide angle lens adaptor, approx 27mm equiv coverage. Trains used to run over this bridge which is still manned, and pivots around 90degrees occasionally to allow tall masts through.

Blundells has long gone, but for some odd reason the name persists. The large building is home to the Hull Daily Mail.

featuring Dinsdales famous joke shop.

Just outside of Hull England.

I swear when I took it, I could see Gandalf waving in the distance...

Horses were brought here for a wash. 'The Deep' with love it or hate it shape in background.

There's something irresistable about a breakers yard - must be a bloke thing

The once great CO-OP, now gone, home to the Skyline ballroom - later to become Romeo and Juliet disco. The curved disco roof can be seen top left.

Scanned from a glass negative. The original was broken and in very poor condition, requiring extensive repair. It shows, I beleive, the construction of Hull's Drypool Bridge across the river Hull, date unknown but probably early 1900. Would be grateful if anyone has info about this picture.

a scanned old negative showing a German submarine grounded on the Humber. The donator knows nothing else about this event, nor do I unfortunately. Any info would be welcomed.

I need all the help I can get for those long hand held exposures

Canon A80. View from the window of the hospital where I work. The tower or folly is all that remains of a grand house.

Canon A95 handheld - resting on bollard - 400iso f5/.25sec Waited 1/2 hour for some drunks to fall in the water but moved on when someone offered to buy my camera for a burger.
