    check out 50 secs into the episode. The 2 steps up to the toilets are where the gents urinals used to be. I used to work in the Southampton Civic Offices in the late 90's and they were still in place then. I expect they are still there.

    I was in Hull a few days ago and was amazed at the glorious civic buildings. These and the huge train station suggests a once very important place. So much building work going on, it will be great when it’s finished. As I walked around I thought it would be great to see one of your videos of this place, and here you go! And I was in Bradford yesterday and your videos were really helpful in helping me look around. Thanks for all your stuff. Maybe one day I’ll bump into you, 😊

    Another excellent video - you've done some great videos over the years and you 100% should make Hull proud of such a fabulous building.
    One guess about the large semi-circular fitting though... Could it be to hold an illuminated sign or a large clock?

    They really should look to getting the dome sealed - or at least pigeon access blocked - to stop all the guano corroding the ironwork and dirtying the glass. So many buildings are ruined by those flying rats which are now protected so the only way is seal everything off to them.

    Those toilets behind you at the start were even more impressive. Fish tanks (with fish) as the cisterns. Can't remember when they were closed but it's a shame, dunno what state they're in now but they should be reopened & restored, properly.

    Very interesting and informative as usual. I'm a Bradfordian born, living in Hull, so it was good to see you looking at this city's buildings. Hull does have some beautiful buildings left, survivors of both Adolf and successive councils! The City Hall is reminiscent of St. George's Hall - memories of school Speech Days held in St. George's. Thank you for the insider view of this wonderful building. Good to see it has been maintained in wonderful condition.

    Not too shabby at all as there's not that many of them in the world.
    Playing a four register organ is apparently an exercise in pain and pleasure as there's the foot pedals and the dozens of organ stops to be on top of too.
