The way under the bridge

Some early evening summer sunshine bathes the A63 in a nice yellow/orange glow, as the North Tower for the Humber Bridge stands proud just around the corner - of which the A63 will snake its way underneath.

Rotterdam ferry terminus, Hull
Seen from the east, the gangway from the P&O Ferries 'Pride of Rotterdam' seems to lead directly into one of the storage containers to the west of King George Dock, at least some of which are owned by Tate & Lyle. It brings to mind the classic 1970s sci-fi film 'Soylent Green' in which people are processed as food, but that can't be true, can it? After all, human trafficking has been outlawed for two hundred years.

Zeebrugge Ferry Berth
The berth for the overnight ferry to Zeebrugge from King George Dock, showing the passenger linkspan to the ship from the terminal building on the right. The ferry sails at 18.30 daily and arrives at Zeebrugge around 08.30 the next morning.

Beverley Road, Hull HU5 (C) David Hallam-Jones
This railway carriage has been adapted into a pub - The Cannon Junction - on the side of Beverley Road (i.e. the A1079). This is the view towards the city centre. The bridge served The Hull Barnsley & West Riding Junction Railway and Dock Company (HB&WRJR&DCo.), a company that began in 1885. Its name was changed to The Hull and Barnsley Railway (H&BR) in 1905. The line terminated in Hull at three main points: Alexandra Dock; for import and export of goods by sea, Cannon Street station; a goods station and passenger terminus, and Neptune Street goods station; the main goods terminus. The line eventually became a victim of the Beeching national railway rationalisation programme in the 1960s.

Jameson Street, Hull (C) David Wright
This part of Jameson Street is pedestrianised.

Carr Lane, Kingston upon Hull (C) Bernard Sharp
Built in the Baroque Revival style by the City Architect, J.H. Hirst, 1903-09, the City Hall plays host to a varied programme of concerts including pop, rock and classical music as well as civic functions such as graduation ceremonies. The ground floor fronting Carr Lane and Paragon Street incorporates retail shops, including the Tourist Information Centre.

Waterhouse Lane, Kingston upon Hull (C) Bernard Sharp
At the junction with Trundle Street, Nos.28-29 Waterhouse Lane, former premises of Gardiner, Barugh & Jones Ltd., iron and steel merchants. The business was originally a partnership of Stephen Gardiner, John Jowsey Barugh and William Henry Jones. Gardiner retired from the partnership in 1901, the business continuing under the same name by the two remaining partners. The building has been empty for several years.

Church Street, Sutton on Hull, Yorkshire

Deep-dowl dark-coloured Urbis ZX3s along the A63 in Hull. I think the columns here are at least a decade old.

Commemorative Stone for Scott Street Bridge, Hull

Banksy in Hull Scott Street Bridge. I saw this as a news item on the BBC and as I was passing by it seemed the obvious thing to photograph it. Then I got interviewed by the BBC!

Scott Street Bridge, Hull Built in 1901, and too expensive to repair in 1994, and after over 30 years since last opened it would be very much more expensive now.

Clough Road Twin Lift Bridges over the River Hull

Sutton Road Bridge, Hull Carrying Sutton Road over the River Hull, this is a Scherzer type rolling lift bridge. Built in 1939 by the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co, it has elegant Art Deco / Neo-Georgian style operating houses, one of which can be seen here, viewed from the western bank of the river.

Ennerdale Link Bridges The twin bascule bridges, constructed in 1997, carry the Raich Carter Way (A1033) across the River Hull. An epic gale is blowing; I'm having difficulty standing upright to take photos.

Aluminium columns with Urbis Amperas, mounted on to unusual stylish brackets. These were not the original lanterns. This is in Hull back in August 2018.

Short aluminium column with unusual bracket. I believe the lantern is known as an Urbis Polo. There are other taller aluminium columns in Hull with the same bracket and used to have the same lanterns as well, but the rest have since been replaced for Urbis Ampera Midis. This was taken back in August 2018.
