Beverley Road Pillows

Beverley Road, Hull, England

Art by Andrew Reid Wildman, a pub in Hull's Beverley Road.

The sound of the Minster bells is loud, throbbing almost, as though the air were alive and the ground vibrating, echoing and awakening childhood memories of half a century earlier. I love it here, my birth town, the place where my life began, the crucible of my earliest consciousness. I went to school here, had my first birthday cakes and Christmases here. It was my small world, safe and English and nice. The work is rich in light and colour, yet simple too. A wonderful souvenir of Yorkshire.

Hadlow Road Railway Station, Willaston, Wirral. It has been restored back to the 1950's and is well worth a visit.
