Another window display on Newland Ave.



More shop-shutter artwork.



Cottingham Road. The building to the left is one of the original 1920s buildings of what was then the university college - now part of the University of Hull.



From Chapel Lane, next to St Mary's Lowgate. The building opposite is the old central post office, now flats and a Wetherspoons.



Beer garden of that Wetherspoon's, looking towards Essex House.



The bar of the station hotel, which was gutted by fire about 25 years ago. They made a nice job of the restoration, and by all accounts it's a good hotel. The beer is certainly good, although at £4 a pint it ain't cheap by Hull standards.

I have a friend who works for Drax!

Once on a visit to York I deliberately navigated the driver onto the service road that goes right by Drax so I could have a good look at it

Back when I was a service engineer Drax power station was one of my customers so I've had a good wander round the place. It's engineering on a truly vast scale.
