The One With The New Mall, St Stephen's


St Stephen's is the biggest, most ambitious city centre redevelopment in Hull. They have been constructing it since I came here and finally, it's done. Apparently it is the 2nd largest city centre development in the UK (and it's in Hull!!). It is around 40 acres in the heart of Hull (heck, I don't even know how big an acre is). It incorporates an £18m state-of-the-art transport interchange built to a concept design by acclaimed architects, Wilkinson Eyre which will coordinate bus, coach and rail travel with access to taxis, delivering some 24,000 people to St Stephens’ door each day. St Stephen's will create 2,500 new permanent jobs and 400 temporary jobs during construction (keep in mind I'm still unemployed) and the total cost is a whooping £160m!



cool Starbucks


There were so many people at St Stephen's and it was like 1 o'clock in the afternoon. What the hell? Don't these people have work to do or places to go?
