When the wind is in the East...

...'tis neither good for man nor beast.

Norwood House, Beverley

This is Norwood House, a most impressive Grade 1 listed Georgian building. After a many years as a residence it became a high school for girls until 2000. It was sold recently by the East Riding Council after years of dithering and against the wishes of many who wished to restore it and make it open to the public. I believe it has planning permission for development as offices. As we all know there is a shortage of offices and far too many Grade1 listed buildings. 

November showers

Lowering clouds and late afternoon sunshine produce this strange lighting effect. Of course sunshine and rain made a nice rainbow which you can see below.
This is Butcher Row in Beverley.

The eleventh twelfth of a weariness....

No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,

No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds, - November!

The Mission

First a seaman's mission then church now Hull's No1 Student Pub ... not a great deal of change really.

Hull New Theatre

Hull New Theatre is probably the oldest theatre in Hull. It opened in 1939 replacing a  theatre on the same site. The Central Hull Fire Station is situated just to the rear of this building so shows may be interrupted by the sound of sirens.
The theatre's website claims "Hull New Theatre continues to be one of the UK's premier touring venues and features the best in musical, opera, ballet, drama, children's shows and one night performances, with a highlight of the year being the annual spectacular Christmas pantomime."

Currently we have Scrooge featuring Tommy Steele ( a 1950s pop star! ), this is described as "The perfect winter treat, Scrooge is a heartwarming family story with stunning sets and costumes ...." What are you waiting for? Book now.
