Off Topic Hull City Centre Public Realm Strategy

Can we get 1884 back again please?

 

I thought Humber street area would have taken off .
It's always dead when I go .

 

I don't think it helps that Humber St is far side of Clive Sully - unless I was purposely going somewhere in that area i wouldn't walk past the Old Town pubs for a pint in Humber Street; saying that, the new bridge should help get footfall over there, twt as they say.

 

It needs more people with spare money to be living there, if that happened there'd need to be a bit more for them to do to keep them that side of Castle Street and it'd probably need a small supermarket or 2. Bit of a chicken and egg situation really, the outlets that are there now must be struggling to stay afloat.

 

I generally go over and have a drink in Minerva and Taphouse
Minerva is permanently busy every day .
I'm not sure whether Humber street will ever take off.
TWT.
Hopefully it will

 

RE: Amazon's dominance - it reminds me of this brilliant advert by iZettle:

 

all business closures are sad, but this is personally regrettable as it was our go to place for birthdays and anniversaries.

 

As you say, it's a shame businesses close but imo, El Toro on Prinny Ave is far superior.

 

I’m sure there are a few places out there with as good food and drink - it’s the emotional attachment and memories that we’ll regret.

 

Memories are great, make some more mate

 

I suspect 50-75% bars will fold. Scary times ahead

 

I thought there would have been something in the local rag about the deferal of the A63 ?

Theres a decent video of the bridge being put in place in this link

 

I think I've seen that before but it's always good to see again. I'm always impressed by that sort of precision engineering.

 

The guy maneuvering is impressive
