Those shots remind me of my first trips to the East End in the early '70s, Chris: stark, utilitarian streetscapes devoid of trees and flowerpots and, on the sidestreets at least, remarkably free of cars.

A question
I was re-reading my copy of "The London of Jack the Ripper-Then and Now" last night and I was drawn to the 1930's shot of the Princess Alice (page 175).
What I wanted to know, is when and why was the 3rd and 4th floor removed?
I am thinking WW2 damage, but wondered if that was the case, why wasn't the rest of the public house damaged?Regards Mike

I braved the awful October weather today and ventured into the City Centre to get some snap shots of the Avenues, Alleyways, Entry's, and Yards in Kingston upon Hull.

Hi Mike
Really great pics and thanks for posting
No disrespect to Hull intended but the place is far more beautiful than I imagined
Thanks again
Chris
PS Can you clarify one thing? Are Hull and Kingston upon Hull the same place?

Thanks Chris, We were recently voted "Dullest City in the UK" by B+Q!!
I decided to visit some of the locations off the beaten track, and hope to return when it's darker to some of the small enty's and yards!Regards Mike

Chris - I have always assumed Hull and Kingston-Upon-Hull to be the same place in the same way that Newcastle is Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.
