Scott Street bridge over the River Hull. The bridge was built in 1901, and was awarded listed status in 1994. Shortly afterwards the structure was assessed and found to be unsafe for vehicles. The bridge was fixed in the open position to allow free passage to river traffic.

The cost to restore the bridge would be around £5M, whereas demolition has been estimated at £100K – £125K. It currently costs £500 a year to maintain. Part of the hydraulic mechanism is below the high tide level, making it prone to operational problems and corrosion. As the bridge is not considered to be of particular significance, or a particularly good example of its type (a double leaf bascule bridge) then I expect its days are numbered.

Third and final shot of the series from Hessle Skate Park. This is probably my favourite because of the colours.

Ultrawide shot of the same graffiti covered ramp in yesterday’s picture. The second in a series of three from Hessle Skate Park, East Yorkshire.

End view of a graffiti covered skate ramp at Hessle Skate Park. This is the first in another series of three, and also my first posted shot from the 400D.
