The Humber Bridge, Leaving Hull
Posted in Bridges, English Football Grounds, Trips at 22:35 on 17 May 2017
The Humber Bridge from King George Dock, Hull:-
The exit from King George Dock is through a sea lock. A very tight squeeze! Looking directly down the ship’s side:-
Other side of ship. Only centimetres of water between ship and lock side:-

The sea lock:-
Lock emptying:-
Finally moving off:-
Humber Bridge from Humber Estuary:-
I never did see the KCom stadium but on the way out of the Humber I spotted the very distinctive Grimsby Dock Tower (picture from Wikipedia):-

Some way beyond it were the four floodlight pylons of what looked very like a football ground which I assume must have been Blundell Park, home of Grimsby Town FC, though it seems the ground is actually in Cleethorpes.
