Was at Hull Uni 89-92 then worked locally before finally leaving for 'The Beautiful South' in 98. Moving to a depressed Northern city from a sleepy West Country town was a bit of a culture shock but I came to love it and was sad to leave. Went back for the first time in ages at Easter this year, yes the city center was a bit torn up but it felt good to be back. Hope 2017 goes well.
Spiders
and the same for The Tower, Bob Carvers, The Piper Club, Hull Truck, the arty cafe opposite Holy Trinity, the cocoa mill (
) and glue factory (
) smell, walking across The Humber Bridge or spotting it when returning, Gwenap (oohh errr), Falcon's Kebabs, Nelly's out in Beverley, the Adelphi (missed Oasis on their last tour before making it), getting roundly abused by the landlady of The Queen's every week the caving club met there, Hull Brewery Mild, Ray's Place for a curry, Bev Rd Baths, Hepworth Arcade 2nd hand shops...
Sorry, getting all nostalgic and blathering on
