Off Topic Hull Alphabet

I reckon that G is probably from the one of the gents toilets either under King Billy or Queen Victoria.

The S looks like it's red lead paint, so could be a metal structure like a bridge - can't think of a red one though.

Then again, might be from an old victorian post box - any in the old town?

The Y looks so familiar, it's really irking me.

The Y is bugging me too, but the S was already mentioned I think. It’s the new health centre on Anlaby Rd where they’ve kept the wall from the Wesleyan Chapel

I don’t want to cheat, or spoil anyone else’s enjoyment, but I clicked on the Twitter link rather than Dennis’ picture by accident and the S is the first answer on there if you get really frustrated with it (and it’s red brick)

(edit - I wrote this before I saw Dennis had posted his reply, soz)

E K and Y to go.

I've tried New Theatre and Black Boy for the E and K, but I'm not convinced by either of them.

That Y is driving me crackers, as I'm sure I recognise it. It seems to be in a square, or on a tile?

 

[augustatiger]

The k looks like kcom colour.
Perhaps a previous design before make over.

 

[augustatiger]

Y looks old townish.
Ye olde white hart or black boy....if it hasn’t changed its name!

Possible, but I'm not convinced. The one in the picture seems much flatter than the raised ones on Earl de Grey.

She’s actually posted to say that only the E and Y were outstanding and someone replied with the correct Y (which isn’t Earl de Grey)

Any chance of a clue for the Y and the K if someone's got them? I don't want to look at the tweets and spoil it yet.

The Y has gone from pigtails to cocktails, but I would never have found it if the answer hadn’t been given to be honest.

edit - and is one block further along the same road as one of the other answers

 

[originallambrettaman]

I just looked where the Y was from, would never have got that one.

 

[Help!]

And the K is from a very famous pub. Slightly disappointed I didn’t get it without looking to be honest.

Edit - scratch that, I really don’t think that K is actually on the Black Boy, but that’s the only answer I can see she’s been given.

Aye, I had a good look around Black Boy, and it looks different to the one in the image.

I'm going to have to admit defeat for now. I'm guessing that from your clue, it's a cocktail bar, that used to be either a hairdressers or a butchers. I've got Farnley or Fairley's in my mind, but nothing's coming up. I've tried looking on google maps near the other places, and it's beaten me so far.
