They had their own 'phone business |
Well I've got a few last observations on Hull.
They have managed to reinvent themselves - if you go back to the 60's and early 70's the big business was fishing and they still retain good relations with Iceland (this statue has a 'double' in Iceland - and this is actually a replacement, the
original was nicked for scrap).
|
Well it's someone looking out to Sea (for the fish) |
The statue is known as
Voyage and is by Steinunn Thorarinsdottir.
The City (unusually) doesn't have a cathedral it has an enormous parish church which
Archbishop Sentamu is due to upgrade to a Minster this year.
(The Late)
Mick Ronson was very much the heart of The Spider from Mars (David Bowie's imagined and realised band) - he was from Hull and is remembered by a café named for him.
|
It's how he'd want to be remembered (perhaps) |
Amy Johnson (who flew a 'Moth') is the inspiration of the moth trail that's another part of the Cultural experience..

On a company wall, |
|
On a restaurant |
|
It's got a flight path on it |
|
This was near hotel reception |
|
And this just across the road from the hotel |
|
In a retail park too |
|
A red one not to be missed |
Most of the Moths will eventually be
auctioned for good causes (in May).
Doors
Gordon Road is my main way into Ealing and the Broadway station here's number 59 - Perhaps it's the famous
Gordon (Charles George) who it's named for?
