I should know the answer but can anyone give the location of this 1978 view of the River Hull? I was guessing Gilyott & Scott's but not sure now.
Photographer unknown to me. Nice shot.

Exactly what I was guessing Patrick but didn't often use that bridge, remember that Gilyott's had some modern warehouses like the one on the left but couldn't recall the much larger mill building, too busy looking at the traffic!
By all means post to the FB site.

Thanks Patrick yes the Ship Inn, Ann Watson Street, used to have some Docks Board socials there, long time back (1968!).
