A couple of years ago I climbed up onto the roof of one of the highest buildings in our city and took a few shots of what lay at my feet. The results surprised me. I think I had probably become immune to the charms of the place and was no longer fully aware of what was around me. The picture is testament to the variety of architecture, ancient and modern. Trinity Church takes centre stage with a back drop of the estuary, calm and serene. To the left lies The Deep, a biomorphic structure that resembles a whale rising from the ocean and beside this is the tidal barrier that was built in 1980 to prevent water surges that may cause flooding. Centre bottom is part of the street known as Land of Green Ginger - so called due to the medieval spice market that operated here. I have only covered a small area here and will add that for anyone thinking of paying a visit to Kingston Upon Hull, allow a couple of days to take in some of the history, culture, galleries and museums - you won't be disappointed.
