Sunrise 24 December - Andrea Monaghan

I’ve lived in Hull all my life, with deep family roots in the fishing industry, so I thought Hull would hold no surprises for me – but the change of perspective revealed new things.

As the light increased, and as I stood and watched, I noticed more and more, even in the last minute of the vigil I saw new things.  Railway carriages used as an office, a footpath I have never walked, a green space I didn’t know was there. 

What a lovely experience, to watch the city slowly come to life on Christmas Eve.
