A fire at a waste recycling plant in East Yorkshire could burn for up to three days.
No political comment, no complaints about any of it (since I have every faith in the fire service and their professional opinions on how best to manage the fire), just a small observation. If you look at the picture on the BBC story, you will notice a building in the background with a tower. That building is called British Extracting, an abandoned building and part of Hull's rich industrial history. I mention British Extracting only because I have a love for the abandoned and decaying parts of Hull which are so often overlooked by people, and would recommend anyone who hasn't had a chance to spend a few hours wandering around that part of Hull on a quiet Sunday, experiencing first hand the sheer scale of some of these buildings. Have a look at Clarence Mill, the former Rank Hovis building, a building crying out for a sympathetic conversion to make use of this stunning building. If getting out there and wandering isn't your cup of tea, have a look at sites like 28 Days Later and really experience what other people see in these hidden gems.
