The Beech Tree, Kirk Ella

Part of the Ember Inns chain, this large suburban pub is located on Southella Way. It was built in 1979 but sadly the beech tree after which it was named died shortly afterwards.

Stephen McKay

Suburban squirrel, Hull

One of the many well-fed grey squirrels which thrive in the back gardens of the area, thanks in part to the number of residents who keep their bird feeders well-stocked and easily-raided.

American football practice, Hull

The 'egg-chasing' affectionately derided by the city's Association Football fans is traditionally aimed at the local Rugby League community. But this Sunday session on the Costello Playing Fields suggests a possible new target for them.

Silver birches and golden daffodils, Hull

Springtime colour on the strip of grassland to the north of Willerby Road. I'd always assumed this was just part of the frontage of Springhead Park golf course. But according to one map, this is 'Wymersley Park', not a designation I'd been aware of. There are sports and play facilities to the west of Wymersley Road, which are contiguous with this area. So maybe it is one of the city's more compact official parks.

Batter late, then never? Anlaby Common

This 'teaser' window display, on Hull Road, Anlaby Common, has been in place since around 2010/2011, when it caused anticipation to run high among local takeaway fans. In the intervening dozen years though, their expectations have been substantially scaled back. The promised timescale may not be as misleading as it appears, provided your definition of 'few' can be extended to mean '600 or so'.

Wilson Street, Anlaby

Row of shops at the junction with Hull Road, briefly enlivened by a spring display of cherry blossom. The (now closed) Red Lion pub, and the Red Lion Court shop units are in the distance.

Horse on Anlaby Common

Only two horses were grazing in the eastern portion of the open land to the south of Hull Road. A much larger number were in the adjoining field to the west, but none of them would pose as obligingly.

New houses in Anlaby

This short terrace on Wilson Street, along with a number of larger houses on the adjacent Crowle Close, were built in around 2017/2018, replacing long-derelict properties and their adjoining overgrown land on the southern side of the street.

Paul Harrop

Former chapel, Anlaby

Ex-Methodist chapel on Church Street. An earlier, wider view, and history can be seen at TA0328 : Church Street, Anlaby, Yorkshire. Little seems to have changed in the intervening three years, although a new roof has been added, suggesting that the building is still in use.

Crossing controller condiment cabinet, Hull

One of a number of traffic signal control boxes in the city which have, in the past couple of years, been covered in artwork in a bid to tackle graffiti and vandalism. This example, on the cycle/pedestrian crossing on Willerby Road, celebrates one of Hull's culinary creations, 'American' Chip Spice. Manufactured by Wilson's Seasonings, Link

I'm not aware of it ever having been named or packaged as shown here. Rob and Brenda Wilson came up with the idea of using spiced salt and paprika after visiting America in the late 1970s. Their chip spice was first introduced to Hull by their friend, restaurant owner John Science. His burger bar, Yankee Burger on Jameson Street made the seasoning famous, before local fish and chip shops also started selling it.

Double flagging, Willerby

A house on Kingston Road combining two topical causes: marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee and expressing support for Ukraine, in one of the more prominent flag displays in the area.

Paul Harrop

Ripening barley, Anlaby

Crop in the field alongside Lowfield Road, more of which has gradually succumbed to housing development in recent years, but this pocket of farmland between the suburban settlements of Anlaby and Hessle still rather incongruously hangs on.

Paul Harrop

For sale signs, Anlaby

Outside The Ridings retirement and sheltered housing complex for older people, the numerous estate agents' boards tell of the sad but inevitable steady turnover of ownership of such properties.

Torpoint flats, near Hessle

Hull City Council-owned tower block on the Boothferry Estate, one of three which were earmarked for demolition by a decision in late 2021. Tenants in this block were the first to be provided with alternative housing during the course of 2022, when the council also plans to appoint demolition contractors, for work to take place in 2023/4. The accommodation lost here will eventually be replaced by the same number of low-rise premises.
