    That must have been taken when Queens Gardens was a dock?

    Edit, I think Stan you answered the question with the drained Queens dock picture.

    When it was originally built, it was accessed from the River Hull, then later when Princes Dock was built it was accessed via there (there was a bridge outside what's now the Maritime Museum)...

    Would have been good to have seen that. I suppose there's an outside chance someone on this board might have done so.

    Queens Dock was filled in during 1930, so unless we've got a poster in their 90's they're unlikely to remember it.

    The original entrance from the River Hull is still there, it became a dry dock after the entrance was moved.

    Great picture of a submarine arriving at Albert Dock, apparently we scrapped a lot of them after the war...

    Wasn't there some scheme where a bit of land, I'm thinking Queens Garden's area here oposite Marks & Sparks, was used to plant veg and you could take what you wanted when ready, didn't hear anymore about that once it had been on the tele.

    Yep, guerilla gardening, or something like that There's a few sites ear marked, that being one. Castle St was another, but under a different scheme, but the Ark moving and other developments changed that one.
