Paragon Station

Years ago some soulless  bureaucrat came upon the name 'Hull Paragon'  and dropped the 'Paragon'. Now timetables refer only to Hull and life is a little duller for that I feel.

Round the bend

Just a jest

I've mentioned that Beverley has a trail of the ancient guilds and crafts of the town designed to attract tourists; as if the charms of the place weren't magnetic in themselves. Anyhow one of the old trades was hat making so here's jester's cap a top a street sign. Clearly they're still as mad as hatters in this town.

The train leaving platform one ...

Thoughtful of the train company to leave gaps in the fence so we can see our train departing ...

The Rex

There was a time when every neighbourhood in Hull would have its Rex; the launderette of the unwashed masses. This one is on Anlaby Road. Now washing machines are cheaper launderettes are slowly going out out of fashion. I spent many an hour watching my washing go round and round, then carried it all home in a big plastic bag that invariably ripped a bit ... no, I don't miss it all.

Creating a greener city

Hull City Council's well chosen sponsors are experts at recycling.

Bus nut heaven

It wasn't until I had seen them several times standing outside the back entrance to the new bus station that I realised there were people who liked to 'spot' buses. There they would be with their little notebooks and cameras noting and photographing every bus as it passed. A harmless pastime I suppose; certainly no worse than taking a picture of your city and posting it on a blog every day.
