Disused Hull dock and warehouse, 1982

One of my tasks during the lockdown caused by the coronavirus epidemic has been to ensure that all our family photographs are digitised by scanning. Most had been done prior to this year, but a few collections of transparencies (slides), prints and negatives came to light and they have been worked through. The activity has revealed transparencies and negatives that haven't seen the light of day since they were exposed. Here are a couple.

They were taken on different days (and months) in 1982 and show the disused Humber Dock, the bridged link to Railway Dock, and the warehouses that stand by the docks. Today both these stretches of water are part of Hull Marina. The warehouse has been converted into flats and the whole site has new buildings, car parks, chandlery services, hotels etc. In other words a centre of bustling marine activity.
