Eton Street, Kingston upon Hull
Premises at No.1 Eton Street and Scoria paving blocks in 'tenfoot' to rear of Nos.261-275 Hessle Road. Distinctive and richly textured blue-grey 'glassy' setts shaped in patterned moulds from the slag of smelted metal ore (known as scoria). Attractive shape and pattern comprising two conjoined floral-hexagons. Patented by Charles James Dobbs of Middlesbrough, 24 August 1886, No.10829. In nature, Scoria rocks are igneous rocks which were formed when lava cooled quickly above ground. Scoria is actually a kind of glass and not a mixture of minerals.

Eton Street, Kingston upon Hull
Street shrine attached to west side of No.275 Hessle Road. One of only three original surviving examples in Hull and an important piece of social history. Street shrines became an increasingly common expression of remembrance for local servicemen, particularly in working class areas, as the casualty list lengthened during World War I (1914-18). Street shrines generally consisted of a paper roll of honour housed in a wooden case. Due to their perishable nature, and later slum clearance programmes, few now survive. The Eton Street shrine is a particularly good quality stone example.

Shops on Hessle Road, Hull
Hessle road is now a shadow of its former self. People came from all over Hull to shop down here, but alas due to out of town supermarkets, Hessle Road has suffered more than most.
