    Talking of roof top views, coming into town on Holderness road as you approach north bridge on the right hand side of the bridge there is an old building with a new all glass room for want of a better word on top. Anyone know what it is?

    Have you seen that when you were in the building at the left hand side of the bridge?

    No not in the building, I was actually waiting at the traffic lights on Cleveland Street going to turn right and go over north bridge. Looking over the open space on the right which is now a car park towards the bridge there is an old building to the right of the bridge maybe 3 or 4 floors high and on top of that is conservatory type glass covered area. Couldn't see it on Google Street View.

    It's a structure consisting of walls, a ceiling and a floor, in this particular case made partially from glass.

    It could be the old funeral parlour. If it is they sometimes grant access during Hertiage Open Days as it's meant to be haunted.

    Strange website. Looks generic as ****, full of placeholder text and mentions an address in Indonesia, but it does indeed have a Hull address in the contact section.

    I'm always on the right side.

    The building must be the old bank then. The glass roof must be new.

    Not sure it's the old bank building, will stop and have a better look next time I'm over that way.

    When petrol was 50p a gallon...

    I think (a figure based on a very old memory and someone may be able to correct this),it was 20p to get into bunkers?

    Edit,I could be mistaken as a programme was 10p.

    That year, I first sailed on tonnage. Tonnage being the crews share of the 600 ton of frozen fish we (as an engineer, "we" is stretching it a tad) had spent 9 or 10 weeks catching. I received a cheque for £462 and pennies. And like the fishing industry itself, there is bugger all left of that sum as well.
