Though Cottingham has some grand old houses, built for the wealthy merchants of Hull, there are few remaining old buildings for the less well-to-do. Here's a little row of little cottages on Beck Bank soaking up the November sunshine.
I woke this morning to find that Hull had been selected as City of Culture 2017. The usual perps are strutting around saying how proud they are to come from Hull when all they've done is managed to be born and lack the gumption to leave. Oh we've got three more years of this self-serving guff before it even starts and then, well, we'll cross that bridge later ... with £12 million about to splosh into the city I'll be keeping an eye out for the culture vultures circling in the updrafts of hot air.
I wish I could rent a small cottage for a week or two. I might do that!
ReplyDeleteNice photo :-)
ReplyDeletei want it
ReplyDeleteWhen 'the announcement' was made, you were the first person that came to mind. Nice side of daily photo blogs is associating a place with a person (who takes great photos). By the way, love the look of this row of homes.
ReplyDeleteYou're too kind. One effect of the announcement has been a near tripling of page views so it's not all bad news.
