Hull Paragon station, Larkin statue [a la Betjeman at St Pancras,
passer by on piano, bloke oblivious to it all.
Whilst we were in Hull it was announced that the next city of culture will be Coventry [near where Rowan is at University in Warwick]. One of its claims to fame was that it was where Philip Larkin the poet was born. He moved to Hull, which had already claimed him as one of its own for their own bid. So Cov will have to focus on 2Tone I reckon; that is real culture though.
