VIEWS OF KINGSTON UPON HULL, ROOF TOPS, THE DEEP, PIER, TIDAL BARRIER.

The photos were taken from The Deep (The World's only Submarium) across the roof tops, then from the pier to The Deep, and towards the Tidal Barrier that protects the River Hull from flooding. If you look closely at The Deep you can see the viewing area through the glass. The big river is the Humber and the smaller one going to the tidal barrier is the river Hull , both rivers meet underneath The Deep.

The photos across the roof tops were taken through very thick plastic on the viewing platform at the top of The Deep. That is the old part of Kingston upon Hull in the color photo looking down from The Deep to the left you can see a slope leading down into the water, this is the old horse wash that was used years ago to wash the horses that worked in the area.

In the Shark photo the far shore you can see across the river Humber is Lincolnshire, before the Humber bridge was built it could take about two hours to drive round to Immingham and Grimsby on the far bank, now it only takes about 40 minutes!!!
You will see that I have taken photos in both color and black and white, please click on them to make larger and see details better.
