I mentioned last year about a major road works scheme in west Hull that involved laying miles of electric cable through the busiest roads. The tailbacks became the stuff of legends. Well finally they finished and all seemed well until this cropped up on Chanterlands Avenue (or Chants Ave.). At least when I went past there were actual men doing actual work rather than just a hole in the ground and no sign of life.
This bridge, which always has some interesting graffiti on it, was the scene of some dramatic flooding during the downpour of June 2007 with water well over the raised pavements. It was here that someone with a sense of adventure greater than their sense of filth and sewage went surf boarding in what for me is the iconic image of those events.
Things have dried up well enough, it seems. Why would someone write an advertisement in graffiti, I wonder? Or maybe I should ask if Pims Milk is an actual brand
