Despite formerly passing through the station twice a day, that's the first I've ever seen of the town. I wasn't entirely convinced there was anything but a few farmhouses there...

Easy to understand that POV as you don't see any of this from the station, it faces fields and a golf course and you will see mainly farm buildings from that line. This photo is about a 5 minute drive from the station.

Off to fair tonight with my folks - very excited

From a second ride on the big wheel at Hull Fair, this time in daylight:



Looking south-east, towards the KC Stadium and Hull Royal Infirmary.



South, towards the Humber.



Looking roughly east, with Hymers College on the left and the city centre straight ahead.



The fair spread out below us.

More of the Fair:







It was starting to get really busy by the time we left. Bob Carver's was selling a portion of chips about every five seconds.

Probably good advice.



City centre makeover starting to get under way.
