Trolley drowning, Hull If the nearby Tesco store ever wonders where some of their trolleys disappear to, there are at least six of them either underwater, or partially submerged here, in the Beverley and Barmston Drain by the Beckside Close bridge, where dumping them appears to be something of a local sport.
