How that managed to get such a colossal structure into the centre of Hull through all those narrow streets is beyond me. Well done guys!!
Great idea and brilliantly done!
Siemens is a major development for alternative energy (shame they are no longer bringing their research and development due to Brexit) and will help make Hull a thriving centre of wind technology. Just what we need – a major development of a great area – much needed jobs – and a big financial boost for the region.
Alternative energy is the future – wind, solar and tidal energy is sustainable and non-polluting! Forget your dirty coal, oil and gas!! Hull could become a centre for the whole world! So it was appropriate that the organisers of the year of culture thought up such a brilliant idea. It looks wonderful. It is massive. What a backdrop to the old buildings in the city centre.
Unfortunately it was a bit of a dank January day when we went! But it didn’t spoil it! I loved it.
Here’s a few photos:
Inside the refurbished Ferens Art Gallery.
Queen Victoria Square and the majestic blade in the twilight!
I hate to appear stupid, but what IS that thing?
The blade is a wind-turbine blade. They are enormous and being manufactured in Hull and transported to wind farms. In our year of culture it was a great idea to put one in the centre of the city so people could see the beauty and size of it close up. It is a work of art.
It does raise questions, not sure how much like it, did not reload was blade from wind turbine. Lots to see in Hull.

Hull is doing an amazing job! Three absolute gems of events – Fireworks over the Humber – the light show – the blade! Great vision and superb execution. So much to see in Hull!! I can’t wait for the next great surprise!
