Brickwork


I'm thinking they had a job lot of bricks that, erm, fell of the back of a lorry, as it were, and well it's a shame they don't all match but who is going to notice? No-one ever comes down here and certainly no-one with a camera ... here's Park Street bridge in all its colourful glory.

Brand Name Recognition


I wondered if it was only in this country that a transport company has a spotters fan club that reports sightings of its lorries as they go about their business on the highways and by-ways. A little searching on the web (it's a bank holiday that's my excuse!) finds a lorry spotting website with over 4,000 paying members (£25 a year) who try to report the make and number of as many lorries as possible; a somewhat eccentric pastime but harmless I feel sure. As for myself I'm no great Stobart fan I prefer a Norbert Dentressangle any day but better still that rara avis Prestons of Potto ...

A fondness for orange


I think it's the stated aim to be the "best education a creator will have" that kinda sticks in the craw. To my unimaginative nose there's a strong whiff of old fashioned baloney about this place.

That place once again


I think they sell Apple computers ("More power behind every pixel" ??!!!) in this shop  but that doesn't stop there being a good reflection of the Maritime Museum.

Weekend Reflections are here.

HUL1/1


Park Street bridge is not just Park Street bridge; it is bridge HUL1/1 and not to be confused with any other bridge.

The weekend in black and white is here.

Rusty railings


With some time to spare before an appointment a small diversion along Park Street may not be everyone's idea of entertainment but there a few things to catch the eye and pass the time.

Girt big pylon


Beside the bridge on Park Street this pylon serves to carry a couple of antennas to keep us in touch with the world and all its goings on.
