Fremont St isn’t actually roofed though...I don’t think. It just has some fancy screen across the top for playing video displays on (lots of Kiss music when I was there...)
I can't be arsed to trawl back and find the story, but I thought that the money was quite targeted on restoring the facades of many of the shops to make them more in keeping with the bits at first floor and above level. So make it more historic-looking at least and all a bit more attractive. Edit - it wasn't difficult to find https://www.hullccnews.co.uk/13/02/2019/how-whitefriargate-could-look-under-new-plans/
We can't have any of those there tables and chairs outside. It would be carnage. Cyclists would spin into them, the visually impaired would career into the, wheelchairs would find their way blocked. Those things might be alright for those racy continentals with their fancy ways but we don't want any of that here thankyou. Or so Al Rawdah said anyway.
The facade is one thing, getting businesses to commit to a shopping area which is somewhat isolated is another... without going over it again, St Stephens probably did more harm than good...
The current trend in the UK is currently moving away from City Centre living, and to an extent working. It's not clear how long that will last though.

I wasn't sure where to put this, but it does need comment imho. There's no excuse for attacking first responders. They've enough on their plate during an incident without Mr Muscle rocking up looking like he'd benefit from a good blast of the hose. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...ws/firefighters-punched-face-spat-man-4533389
“one of them got a suspended sentence and the other was fined“ FFS! EDIT - obviously City weren’t at home that day or they’d have gone down!
Hordens Perth St Club has been knocked down, been closed awhile. Building summat else there probably houses. had some good football do’s in there back in the day.
One standard use of the reflexive pronoun myself is when the person speaking or writing is both the subject of a sentence and its object.
Not exactly the same but reminds me of when Ray Harvey was in court. The judge said he had an appalling record and said he was thinking of sentencing him to 9 months. Ray remarked loudly that he could do 9 months standing on his head. The judge replied he had been thinking of 9 months but if that was the case he would make it 18 months.
Remember a works Xmas do being held there when I was on a YTS at Stelrad back in 1983. I also remember being given my first (and probably last) Barley Wine. Rocket fuel. They used to be a snooker table upstairs.
