Bear necessities
The heritage of Hull's Spring Bank is recalled by two new sculptures which were recently installed at the entrance to Albany Street.
The bears are the work of Martin Herron, an artist selected by local residevents to create the feature as part of the government funded Albany Street Home Zone Project.
The bears are the first of a series of sculptures featuring animals that existed in the Hull Zoological Gardens, which was sited close to Albany Street between 1840 and 1862.
