Delivering the goods...

I had a stroll down Boothferry Road in Goole yesterday, now a pedestrianised street lined with shops, most of them closed. The banks are gone (for my nearest branch of Barclays, I have to drive to Selby), and a lot of the shops look as though they are unlikely to open again in their current guise.  Just outside Goole, close to junction 36 on the M62, is a huge building site, where Siemens will be manufacturing tube trains and rolling stock for the railways. This will bring much-needed jobs to the area, and hopefully provide the impetus for a revival in Goole's fortunes.

Of the half-dozen images licensed this morning, half of them feature delivery vans: a sign of the times...
