Extra from Hedon Rd, Hull – Extra of my pictures on Hedon Highway made in August 1989. The earlier put up on Hull was Extra Round Popple Road, Hull – 1989
This part of Hedon Highway was bypassed by the constructing of Roger Millward Means and a lot of the buildings on it have been demolished, with only a few quick sections of brick partitions remaining. Again in 1989 a lot of it was lined with buildings which gave the impression to be disused. This part attracted me for its giant entrances, in all probability constructed for horse-drawn wagons carrying timber to the noticed mills and the smaller constructing on the street frontage with 4 boared up home windows that appeared to have been moderately crudely inserted into the tall wall at left. Little site visitors used the street in 1989 and the no parking and no loading indicators have been by then superfluous. Previous maps present this space as occupied by an Iron Works and Noticed Mill.
Though the corporate names S P S and Abram Transport have been nonetheless on these buildings I believe none have been nonetheless in use. These buildings in all probability dated from across the starting of the twentieth century for earlier occupiers of the websites.
One other view of the row of buildings within the earlier picture with an empty street however a lorry within the foreground packed excessive with sawn timber, so apparently there have been nonetheless some noticed mills working within the space. Within the distance you possibly can see the mud extractor for C B North’s noticed mill.
I believe this railway bridge may have carried strains into Victoria Dock throughout Hedon Highway. No hint of it stays. There have been some rail bridges roughly the place the Mount Nice North Roundabout now’s, with South Bridge Highway main into what’s now Victoria Dock Village. However I believe this was one other rail bridge additional east near Hotham Road which led to each Victoria and Alexandra docks.
The strains had actually turn out to be unused after each these docks closed in 1970, however presumably gave entry to some business premises nonetheless in use after that date – therefore the reward provided on this discover.
Beneath a railway bridge and looking out east away from town centre. The parked automobiles present that a few of buildings alongside the road have been nonetheless in enterprise use. I believe not one of the buildings on this image are sill standing
Crowle Road runs parallel to Hedon Highway a brief distance to the north and this home remains to be standing though a lot altered, seen from Hedon Highway down Ferries Road. There’s a moderately extra spectacular Crowle Home in Excessive Road, Hull, a grade II listed how construct in 1664 for rich Hull service provider George Crowle and his spouse Eleanor.
Newtown Sq., simply off Hedon Rd and alongside Southcoates Lane reverse Hull Jail was developed for council housing in 1931-2 with a dozen or so blocks of three-story flats, I believe round 150 in all. The 1950 OS map calls them Newtown Sq. and that was nonetheless the identify once I photographed them in 1989, although they’re now often called Newtown Court docket.
The flats in-built 1931-2 have been apparently improved within the Nineteen Eighties and I believe my image could present some earlier than and a few after that enchancment. They’ve been once more modified not too long ago.
