On the Bank of the River Humber. This footpath runs eastwards from Hull City's 'Old Town'. Hull's eastern docks and the chemical works at Saltend can be seen in the distance.
Victoria Park. This pretty park sits just north of the river and includes the impressive sundial shown in the photo.
River Hull
Victoria Dock Half Tide Basin. This basin was originally the intermediate link for ships and boats between the River Humber and Victoria Dock. The dock was filled in many years ago and the basin now serves as an attractive feature in the Victoria Dock housing development.
The Deep. This massive aquarium is one of the major tourist attractions in the city. There's over 3000 creatures, including sharks and sawfish, plus an evening restaurant. In 2013, the aquarium was voted the best family place to visit in Hull.
The Outer Basin. The photograph looks roughly north towards the lock gates of the Half Tide Basin. The Half Tide Basin was a cunning arrangement to enable greater numbers of ships to access the docks by efficient use of the tides.
The Humber River Frontage. View of the riverside footpath.
Alexandra Dock. Only two gates of the three gate lock are closed, the middle gate being open. A ship is anchored against the far side of the dock, and over the ship one can see the green roof of Hull Gaol. The blue and yellow crane looks as if it might have been made using lego bricks.
