Modern Architecture in Hull 1

We chose Hull for our Christmas break partly because research showed it had some interesting architecture both traditional through the various periods but also some modern gems. Here a first set of buildings that took my eye taken in high key to give the feel of artistic architectural design plans though I would need to add a few 'model' people and trees etc

Walk Along the River Hull

Boxing Day morning, we walked up the north bank of the River Hull where most of the old buildings have been demolished. leaving a few standing proud of their surroundings. The first bridge that we photographed is the Drypool,  constructed in 1961 and we crossed over at North Bridge, 1927, both rolling lift bridges. The walk back was through the old town with examples of buildings from all the periods of Hull's long history. The museums are all closed for the time that we are here - we will be back at a future time.

Christmas Walk at Bridlington

We decided to drive to Bridlington on Christmas Morning and enjoyed a walk in sunshine along the beach and around the harbour. Since I last visited quite a few years ago, they have built a very impressive Leisure Centre - a good addition to my collection of architectural studies of concrete buildings!

Christmas Eve in Hull

Walk along the Humber

On Saturday, we walked along the Humber towards the Docks on a bright sunny morning. Part of the route took us alongside the Sieman's factory where they manufacture the huge wind turbine blades. Our walk back from the Ferry terminal was via the streets.
