Snuff Mill Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Yorkshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 32 acres, this ancient forest is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and wildlife enthusiasts.

Bricknell greenery, Hull

A small green oasis of grass and woodland through which a public footpath passes. A few metres to the left is the Hull to Cottingham railway line, with houses on Cropton Road backing onto the right hand side.

Painted park gates, Hull

These gates, at the entrance to Bricknell Playing Fields (or Cropton Park) were re-painted in this more attractive colour scheme in 2021. Previously, they had been a rather less appealing solid green.

Setting Dyke, Hull

Minor drainage channel seen from the footbridge into Bricknell Playing Field. In the centre of the picture to the right of the drain, a small white speck might be visible. This was what I took to be an egret, whether a little or a great white variety, I'm not sure, but it stayed far enough ahead of me to prevent a decent photograph.

Train at Cottingham Station

A Northern diesel multiple unit passes though the station, running empty coaching stock up to Bridlington, where it will form a scheduled passenger service back to Hull. This is in addition to the other early morning services to Bridlington as shown on the indicator board. Presumably the one seen here is to cater for the additional demand for services towards Hull during the morning rush hour.

Cottingham puffin

A large, colourfully-decorated seabird sculpture at the corner of Hallgate and King Street. Called 'Memories of the Seaside' and designed by artists Rachael and Phillippa Corcutt, it is one of 42 which form a trail called 'Puffins Galore' Link

extending the whole length of the East Yorkshire coast. This example is clearly one of a number which are positioned further inland. Its near neighbour just down the road is TA0432 : Another Cottingham puffin

Silhouetted trees, Cottingham

The trees are on Willerby Low Road, close to the junction with Castle Road, and are reflected in a pond. This is usually empty but, as it is designed to intercept surface water run-off from the recent housing development to the west, it currently holds the results of several weeks of rainy weather.

Hall Road painted shelter, Hull

Hull City Council provided 19 new bus shelters in March 2023, along Hedon Road and Hall Road, to replace old ones in poor condition. These all included 'wildflower roofs', planted to attract bees and other pollinators. Some, like this one, were also painted by a local artist working with students from the city's schools. This example depicts what could possibly be the River Hull. Other examples of similar painted shelters include: TA1329 : Painted bus shelter, Hedon Road, Hull TA0632 : Painted bus shelter, Hall Road, Hull and TA0733 : Wildlife-themed shelter, Hull

Cottingham market

Each Thursday, most of the car park on King Street is given over to an open air market. Stallholders seem to outnumber customers in this view, maybe not an accurate representation of how busy the market was overall.

Priory Road horse, Cottingham

A small patch of grazing land in a residential area, presumably a potential bit of prime building land, left undeveloped at the busy junction of Priory Road and Newgate Street.

King George V playing field, Hull

5.46 hectare recreation space to the north of Cottingham Road, also accessible from The Quadrant on the Inglemire Estate, here looking towards the University of Hull's accommodation blocks from the skate park.
