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.

Wildlife-themed 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 in Hall Road reflects the project's ecological aspect. Other examples of similar painted shelters include: TA1329 : Painted bus shelter, Hedon Road, Hull TA0633 : Hall Road painted shelter, Hull and TA0632 : Painted bus shelter, Hall Road, Hull

Dead tree, Sir Henry Cooper Park, Hull

In the centre of the small park (effectively a dog-walking area in reality) off Thorpepark Road on the Orchard Park estate. The park is named after the Sir Henry Cooper School which stood on the site but closed in 2012, which in turn was named after a 19th century mayor of Hull (not the 20th century boxer).
