    This is literally my neighbours, it's on the opposite corner to my place. I'm gonna have a look round having never been in the place.

    Well worth it I think.
    Long time ago but I seem to recall curved doors in curved walls, and odd church like bits

    That was the effect of the alcohol consumed while there.

    Did the Humber Archeology waking tour today
    The route of the defences on the east side of the river Hull (sadly they let them through nowadays… ;) )
    South Block House
    The Citadel
    The Wall
    The Castle
    Ended North Block House
    Then separately visited Maister House

    Both well worth doing

    Warm though so had to rehydrate in Black Boy, then rehydrate more in Trinity Market

    Aye I walked past it today and thought the same
    I’ve eaten (and drank) in there inside but hadn’t seen it opened up onto the square before
    Very nice

    I know you’re kidding, but surprisingly maybe last time I was in there the cakes were big, and I bought a beer and a mulled wine

    Sounds like Our Lady and St Helens,Roman Catholic Chapel at the top of my Road.

    It's rumoured that Father Mulholland is a bit of a tight wad when it comes to the wine & wafers...

    Cutting back on portions. Maybe it's that 'cost of living christis' or something people keep talking about?

    The restriction on making access only for loading should mean it will only affect the delivery trucks, post office vans arriving, I am just hoping the Couplands van delivery driver knows or he will parking outside the Pink Parrot and have to carry his stock futher to the shop.

    It's only while 11am each day anyway before it's closed to traffic.
    Some of the drivers turning left into Prince's Dock Street are a joke, there's been a few near misses at that corner.
