A series of text intervention works fixed to walls on the new boundary treatments along Anlaby Road, Hull. Commissioned by Hull City Council and Gateway. These pieces reference a number of descriptions from the creation of Anlaby Road in 1745, events and happenings in the 1800's to descriptions from the early 1900's. The lights of passing vehicles illuminate the text at night.
