Former Fish and Chip Shop now closed for business permanently. Shop is close to 'The Boulevard' the former Hull FC stadium. The closurer of the Hull FC ground was probably the nail in the coffin.

Although still marked on the OS map this is now a defunct police station.

Former Hull FC ground. Hull FC were established in 1865 and were the pride of West Hull. The former stadium is located near to the once famous Hessle Road fishing community. No longer used by Hull FC due to the fact that they have moved to the new KC Stadium.

This is the view from West Park during the construction of the 'KC' (Kingston Communications) Stadium. The ground is now well-established and is home to both Hull City Football and Hull Rugby League Clubs.

A view looking at the Anlaby Road flyover in Hull. On the right of this image can be seen the car park of the KC Stadium. The church on the corner of Boulevard is clearly seen as are the railway lines which pass under the flyover.

Looking north towards Anlaby Road. The city council plans to give this street a makeover between 2011 and 2014. Many more of West Hull's terraced houses have been earmarked for frontage improvement or demolition.

The backs of terraced houses at the eastern end of Arthur Street, looking west across the southern end of Walliker Street near the footbridge over the railway line. No.1 on the right has a tiny but lovingly kept garden protected by a wrought iron fence.

Selby Street, Hull, looking northeast towards Doncaster Street and the Anlaby Road flyover. Roadworks count as an event on Selby Street these days. Bounded on the northwest side by the railway line and on the southeast by the functional but dull kind of housing which was thrown up in areas flattened by bombing during World War Two. The most boring street in the city? It might well have been... were it not for the actions of a young sociopath called Bruce Lee (born Peter Dinsdale) who admitted to killing 26 people between June 1973 and December 1979 after setting fire to homes in and around Selby Street while the occupants were asleep. Lee was charged with manslaughter and ordered to be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act, and eleven of the charges were eventually quashed because of doubts about his testimony. When Lee's crimes came to light they went almost unnoticed by the national press, possibly because the trial of Yorkshire Ripper was happening at the same time. Lee was born in Manchester on July 31st 1960. He was twelve years old at the time of the first fire.

Terraced houses off the southern end of Ruskin Street with the end of Laurel Grove on the left, looking north across the railway tracks from opposite the Methodist Church on Selby Street. These houses have been earmarked by the city council for frontage improvement between 2011 and 2014.

Looking north from outside No.23 Arthur Street, with No.59 Granville Street on the near right. Plans for Granville Street had been laid out by about 1874 and most of the houses were completed and occupied by the 1881 Census. The street was named after George, Second Earle Granville, a prominent politician who died in 1891. The terraced houses on Granville Street have been earmarked by the city council for frontage improvement between 2011 and 2014.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Neither an avenue nor a crescent - just a small terraced street in West Hull, looking north-northwest from the corner of Albermarle Street and Aylesford Street. These houses have been earmarked by the city council for acquisition and demolition between 2011 and 2014.
