Bluebells


On the edge of Beverley Westwood lies an area called Burton Bushes, it's said to be the remains of a primeval forest. It's also a great place to find wild bluebells.

Hull

Again this is a bit of a cheat since it, too, is in Bridlington; indeed on the same street, King Street, as yesterday's offering. This winged lion bearing the triple crown shield of Hull is on the public library.

Hull Cooperative

Just to confuse you this Hull Coop is actually in Bridlington and it's no longer a Cooperative store, it's a dry cleaners I believe. It is in King Street and it was built in 1913. It's a skinny long building that runs along a passage way to Charity Lane. Today no-one would dream of building a retail outlet with all these frills and in marble too.

Private Land


This ominous sign might make you wary of some dangerous horses until you realise it's just these dozy creatures I showed you before here.

Two Humber Quays

 
Some time back I posted about One Humber Quays well right next door is Two Humber Quays. It's another block of offices, meh!

No Fishing

I suppose someone somewhere knows why fishing is banned on Bridlington north pier from May through  September. I'm guessing it's an overcautious Council trying to avoid conflict between the throngs (in their dreams) of tourists and the few anglers. Maybe on the pier there might, just, be a case to be made. But at night? And why is fishing banned on both the north and south beaches? Could it be a cunning plan to make anglers hire boats to go fishing? Perish the thought ....

Triple B

This fishy weathervane is on Bridlington's north pier. The triple B is not a credit rating from Standard & Poor, in fact no-one is quite sure what the three Bs stand for in Bridlington's coat of arms. The best I've seen is Bright & Breezy Bridlington. Anyone got any other suggestions?
