Mundane pictures of the North

I've not had time to take pictures recently, and certainly not to take myself off wandering in areas I don't usually visit, but a few recent ones from town:



Former warehouse on High Street, now flats.



Crowds gathering around Queens Gardens for a parade which opened Santa's Grotto at Prince's Quay shopping centre the other weekend.



Posterngate, with someone dressed as - I assume - the snow queen heading for Prince's Quay.



I didn't realise until I got there that the local Mini club were taking part in the parade.



Ad for some Hull Literature Festival event, projected on the wall of Kardomah94.



Weird little greengrocer's shop tucked away in the city centre.



Good news: the bulldozers have moved in and the site of what used to be LA's nightclub is being cleared. There'll be a Hilton hotel there next year.



The view from the building site, in this case Jameson Street. Will all look very different - and much better - a year from now.

Where is this one? I thought it was Hawes Side Lane but it can't be with the greenery in the distance.

Barnetby in North Lincs. I'm probably pushing the definition of "north" a bit

dunno. lincoln is definitely midlands, but grimsby / scunthorpe feel more like the north to me. likewise the northern edges of nottinghamshire / derbyshire / staffordshire.

Some amazing pictures that could have been taken in Lancaster during floods but due to no leccy, phone was dead...managed to take a few crap ones though.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

can't see that piccy for some reason cyberfairy

we were mainly barricaded in at home in the dark wishing that we had a gas hob rather than an electric hob , more candles and larger torches

we were merely inconvenienced for a few days - others had it a lot worse - I was speaking to people today who were flooded - they had no fun at all

Through a window of the Pacific Exchange, which is rather grand inside.



Prince's Dock Street. Furley & Co is a hipster beer bar that's only just opened, in the former offices of a shipping company of the same name.



Needless to say, I went in for a pint. This is looking out of the window, across the old dock to Prince's Quay shopping centre.



Mildly dodgy pub on the Anlaby Road.



Anlaby Road side of the station.



Looking right from the same spot, towards the Station Hotel.



Inside the station, queues for the buses as the evening rush hour starts to tail off.
