Street Art

Yesterday, I found myself exploring Hull, which is this year's UK City of Culture. Hull is a fascinating mixture of old and new, and I was looking for the old as I wandered around the 'Old Town' part of the city.

Imagine my surprise when I came across this street art in Posterngate. It has been there a while (it can be seen on the May 2015 streetview of the area on Google). It shows elements of the history of Hull.

It brings back memories of my sales visits to Hull in the 80's. The industrial area wreaked of vinegar from the Humber Pickle Factory and the roads were blue thanks to Reckitts.

Hull is certainly an interesting and bizarre place. Lovely to find some colour in the middle of winter!

A very nice find, Ian. It's a joy to be able to explore the historic areas of our towns and villages.
