Next stop, a place I have never been photographing before, the much praised (and rightly so) Barnetby. With the oil refineries and iron works to the east there is a steady flow of freight throughout the day. The station has a huge foot bridge which offers excellent photographic vantage points.

With Barnetby suitably covered a quick trip across the Humber Bridge to visit Hull was in order. Whilst in Hull I popped in to see John Turner of 53a Models for a very plesant chat.
