Hi Bry,
That's a worrying development. I did wonder if the fences erected on the wall of West Dock were going to be 'spotter-proof', but happily not. It's difficult to see how they could screen the walkways across the road bridges themselves. I would definitely be inclined to ask ABP for an explanation; I've no objection to being politely asked my motives, but to be told something is unlawful when it clearly isn't is not acceptable.

If I'm not mistaken, the correct spelling is ANGYALFOLD, named after the Hungarian builder's yard.

At the moment, ships keep well to the North all the way from Hull to Ferriby, apart from a small area between the old shipyard at Hessle and the Humber Bridge, so St Andrews Quay, the Humber Bridge and the Ferriby foreshore are all good spots for photography. Summer evenings are best for both the volume of traffic and the angle of the sun.
 
I've heard said that the channels in the Humber tend to 'flex' over time, so a penalty for the channel above the Humber Bridge coming over to the North side may be that the channel below the bridge may eventually switch to the New Holland side... time will tell.

I visited Paull recently and although the views are terrific in both directions, it's probably the worst spot on the Humber for the angle of the sun during the main part of the day.
Regards
Eddie

On the plus side, there is now a 'history' tab, which gives details of previous names without having to access the classification society's website.

The coaster you are thinking of was the HILDEGARD, I remember her on the PAL Line service, a regular at 25 shed here in Goole! According to my records. she was renamed NANNA in 1983 under the German flag, I have a photo of her as such in Hull Roads in 1985. Alfter that, she was renamed ALKI in 1989 and ATHINA S in 1991. I don't have a record of her fate, so she may well still be trading somewhere in the Eastern Med.
Hope this information helps you...
