Hull - the port and all the major docks are downstream from the Bridge so the ferries do not pass under it. There are wharfs and staithes upstream for smaller vessels.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-58896997853208761852018-04-09T13:55:21.715+01:002018-04-09T13:55:21.715+01:00Thanks, I love the view of the habitat along the r...Thanks, I love the view of the habitat along the river.<br /><br />Beth<br />https://bethlapinsatozblog.wordpress.com/Beth Lapinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561507005802372587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-647208790188339012018-04-09T13:31:05.957+01:002018-04-09T13:31:05.957+01:00How high is that bridge?

I always remember driving along the M62 towards Hull one year (in the 80s, probably) with the full moon rising ahead of me. The Humber is a surprisingly atmospheric area.<br /><br />These days it's so much easier coming straight up from Lincoln!<br /><br /><a href="http://jemimapett.com/blog/" rel="nofollow">Jemima, blogging from A to Z on my writing inspirations</a>Jemima Petthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110647375899927233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050717887740211904.post-44314845811668243402018-04-09T08:18:51.214+01:002018-04-09T08:18:51.214+01:00That's an extremely long bridge.
