Looking north-northwest from No.57 Arthur Street near the corner Wells Street. Many of the smaller and shabbier terraced houses in this part of Hull have been scheduled for demolition but others like these on Sandringham Street are currently being given a 'frontage improvement' by the city council. Part of this involves replacing the hotchpotch of front fences with low brick walls and wrought iron railings, which are probably quite similar to what would have been here before World War Two, when all wrought iron railings except those around the cemeteries were removed and the iron reused in munitions manufacturing. No.42 Arthur Street on the near right is an odd shape because it used to be a shop with a corner door, a bit like the one at the junction of Arthur Street and St Georges Road: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1215165
