Oddly, I can actually see the appeal in this for an arthouse cinema.

Got a couple more from today - but backing up the laptop at the moment so will sort them later.
A few shots through the window of a 105 up Beverley Road.
This used to be Hull Trades and Labour Club.
Believe it or not the best Indian restaurant in Hull is in this picture. Shame the area around it is still so run down.
I won't be shopping here: its instore bakery had a visit from the health inspectors last week and won't be reopening any time soon.
Dorchester Hotel, or whatever they call it these days. Good to see it back in use after years boarded up, and AFAIK the American diner at this end of it's quite good.
Boring block of flats. This isn't a part of town I'd really want to walk through at night, tbh, even though I always used to when I lived half a mile further up the road from here and never had any trouble. Either it's got worse in the last decade or I've become more cautious.
De Grey Street, on the left, used to be nicknamed De Crime Street. IIRC it was one of the most burgled streets in Hull at a time when the city had the highest burglary rate in the country, to say nothing of the odd mugging. Not so bad now AFAIK. The old cinema on the right was a pub for years: now been turned into 'luxury' flats.
This was a pub too, the Mainbrace, until about five years ago. Back in the 90s the Beautiful South used to drink there and then it turned into a low-end latebar when Beverley Road briefly became one of the main drinking areas back in the early 2000s.
Most of that trade's moved either to east Hull or the Avenues, or it's vanished with the recession, and half the bars that used to be heaving every weekend are either empty or have been converted into other things.

Crossroads with Cottingham Road and Clough Road. A few years ago armed police raided a flat above the Sainsbury's and foiled an armed robbery at HSBC next door at the last minute.
Haworth Arms. A grotty student drinking dive, but part of my misspent youth.
Cottingham Road.
The Gardener's Arms, still one of my favourite pubs.
Tenfoot full of rubbish.

Why did the geese cross the road?
I spotted this fearless pair this morning on Great Ancoats Street at rush hour (the inner ring road so always very busy), edging towards the road. I guess they wanted to get over to the other side to loiter in the Ashton Canal (too lazy to fly over I think).
I kept looking back and they did cross - I could see the traffic had stopped to allow them safe passage.

The postbox that bore the brunt of the IRA bomb being protected during the construction of the cross-city metrolink line.

24-hour Spar. Lots of dubious characters lurk around here in the small hours.

The plinth of a statue of Wellington, defaced, and helpfully labelled as such. Don't think the hyphen is strictly necessary though.

Formerly a crappy amusement arcade, and way back a branch of Woolworths where there was a serious fire back in 1979 where 10 people died. The building had no sprinkler system fitted.

My sister's boyfriend picked me up in Bingley the other week, on the way to Devon. He tells me it's pricey to live in and fancies itself a cut above Keighley and most of the other surrounding places, but to me it looked like just another struggling northern town, albeit quite a pretty one in places.
Just outside the railway station.
Front of the station, with an uninspiring-looking pub in the background.
Looking towards the High Street.
Former Bradford & Bingley head offices, now being demolished for a supermarket.
New buildings on the High Street.
I didn't have time to take any more pics, as I ducked into the Wetherspoons for a coffee whilst waiting for my lift. It wasn't exactly a cheery place; full of dour-looking old men reading the Daily Mail.
