    Hull's first female GP (though she's not actually from Hull, she was Scottish).

    The number of people who will ever cal it that will likely be HCC when they're on LN and her immediate family... the rest will just call it the bridge to the Marina...

    "She had a lifelong association with Hull where she was the first woman doctor, a suffragist, and car owner."

    Could have been worse. She sounds quite cool.

    Wonder if she was black and white or red and white.

    That road is like a homage to anyone who has tenuous links with Hull, Clive Sullivan, Roger Millward, now a Scottish stunt driver doctor, who in the hell voted for her, at least Big Lil was from Hull and who were the other three nominations?

    The other three were Wilberforce, some woman who liked rugby and a decorated WW2 bomber pilot.

    For what it's worth I reckon Wilberforce deserves more than a bridge across a busy road. Lil Bilocca was an obvious candidate but her work also shows up Hull shipowners as being more interested in profit than lives, the council might not want folk to be reminded of that.

    I don't have a problem with Mary Murdoch.

    LB was subject to death threats and vile abuse from some in her own community for what she did, never mid the callousness of trawler owners.

    Didn't she end up a cleaner at the Cecil before she died, unrecognised for her efforts by all and sundry?

    Some people like to exploit her story as a 'strong women'; narrative or a working class struggle against the bosses tale.

    Her strength was to keep on fighting for what she believed in, despite the vilification from many whose lives and families she was defending. Her reward was to be widely socially ostracised by these very people.

    This city is happy to honour her- but needs to have a word with itself for how she was tret here.

    I think you're right, she was thought in some circles to have 'got above her station', to be enjoying it all 'a bit too much'.

    "One anecdote describes how six men had to put her car back on the road after she had rolled backwards down a hill and her car had caught fire."

    Nowt clever in that, sounds like many other women drivers to me.
