7 alleys
By Periplum
The 7 Alleys are coming alive again. To some, the alleys are a place of games and laughter, where friendships are made and magic can happen. To others, they’re a place for facing fears where ghosts, strange mists and unexplained noises stalk our corners and only the brave dare to tread.
"7 ghost stories
on a ghost page
placed in a ghost bottle and thrown to the waves
From the Land of Green Ginger
to the shores of East Hull
searching for midnight in the 7th alley portal”
“From little tearaways to old boys who sit in the pub, they all loved it. People are still talking about it and I can’t stop smiling when I think about it.”
— Christina Reading, local resident
