So, with a giddy step in my stride prob caused by the Brand new panasonic Lumix LX3 in my pocket, i decided to take a mince down the dockside in Hull.
Now, Hull was once the busiest port in europe, however, like many areas of heavy industy in Hull, it has seen better days.
As a result of this it is a graveyard of pre-war splendor.
Now these sites have been explored many times before, however, an update is never a bad thing.
So first thing i did was park up at Princes dock to take a walk to the old goods sheds, which have unfortunately seen better days and are no longer accessable via the rails (due to a mixture of the "liquid anxiety" known as excess coffee and fear) -
The entrance points have seen better days
Ok, so after the failure that was the goods shed i took a walk over to the Lordline building further up the humber, on the way of course, passing one of Hull's most striking recent landmarks, The Deep
Anyhoo, i finally reached the globe engineering building, a great industrial/art deco place, origionally built in 1932
After a bit of climbing to get inside im happy to see that the inside isnt COMPLETELY destroyed
Lovely intact wood panelling
This mirror was just sat on a fireplace, i think squatters had spent some time in here
Kinda reaffirmed by this
Anyway, the rest was pretty much the same, however, the sound of broken glass underfoot made me get that awful feeling that i wasnt alone, so i didnt spend that much time in there, these being the pick of the pics
Tom clancy look alike
Evidently, threatening graff is in this year
i wonder whats being served up today? Catshit kebab?
Judging by the onsuite toilet, fireplace and pannelling, im guessing this was the bosses gaff
Dont know where the piano stool has come from..
Thanks for looking, the next step is the fabled rank hovis mill this weekend and i will now insert my attemp at poncey macro's and shots of decaying industry i made on the way back to my car for no reason other then the fact it makes me happy
