50 Years Ago today - Hull 29/06/1964

[northeast]

I can't match Ron with photos, but today marks a half century since I first set foot in the fair city of Hull, arriving via York and the old Pocklington - Market Weighton - Beverley line. Somehow found my way to Monument Bridge ... no bridge, no monument, but the splendid sight of ships fitting out with their bows almost on the railings.
From there to the Pier then up to St. Andrews Dock.

ACTEON - Saltend
CLAN MATHESON - must have been in the river
