New Holland
Two and half miles across the Humber from Hull is New Holland. This was the destination of the Britiish Rail ferry service that ran until 1981 when the Humber Bridge opened; there were connecting trains to take passengers on to London and other places.
The jetty you can see here allows large ships to berth in midstream; bulk cargoes from and destined for Scandinavia, Europe, the Black Sea and North Africa are handled here.
In the foreground there appears to be a man about to jump in the river; this is a statue, at least I hope it's a statue. I'll have to investigate this further.

Favourite place in town ...
...well not mine anyway; but judging by the numbers coming and going surely the fave place for lots of people. They're lovin' it.
It's theme day on City Daily Photos. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Am I not a Man and a Brother?
I know very little about this statue, who made it or when. Clearly it's related in some way to the abolitionist medallion made by Wedgewood entitled "Am I not a Man and a Brother". It is to be found in the garden of Wilberforce House.
