Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Probably a lot more expensive, also the lazy gits will still probably jump the barriers further down the road.

It was never particularly quick getting across that crossing. Replacing it with a pedestrian underpass seems a great idea to me.

 

Isn't that the one that's been there since the bridge was opened? I think they've just revamped the path to it haven't they?

 

Yea mate, I walked it a few month ago, as you say it's just been revamped.

 

That's pretty much what I suggested.

You can see it on google maps from 2008

Ah memories, hated the ****ing parking meters.

 

It will put people off going under there in the dark .

 

King Arthur tattooed Hull City AFC onto my arm in about 1983, sure his parlour was next to Silver Cod by then?

 

Reminds me of when I first got married we lived on Victoria Dock. You could go under the bridge but you walked sharpish. On the way back I was ready to fight the world..

 

A mess deck story, urban myth or maybe it did really happen.

Chatting generally about tattos with some of the crew, most of them regretted them. No more so than the lad with half his arm below a love heart totally black inked out, save for the name of his latest girlfriend. Talk then moved onto King Arthur,
A Deckie Learner walked into the shop, "yes son, what can I do for you?"
I want a galleon.
Where do you want the galleon?
On my chest.
Come back with the f.....g chest, you can have a f.....g galleon.

 

Must have all moved on by now, lived on VD 3/4 years ago and never had any hint of danger under it on the way to old town! Then again i walked to town during daylight and back to the house pretty unaware of the surroundings

 

I lived on Vicky dock in the late 90s….party paradise, what a time!!

 

Pampas grass in the front garden?

Maybe although it is already used by pedestrians anyway.
End of Humber St to old town walkers go that way under the bridge already.
It doesn’t really feel like an ‘underpass’ used to feel. It’s just a path next to a two way road going under a big bridge

 

it was a flat, so I just hung them out of the window lol
