Taken by the late Donald Innes these are wonderful timeless images of Hull and surrounding areas taken between 1949-1970.

The Heritage Collection has been lovingly restored and brought back to life on beautiful fine art paper by his son Ivor and the team at Innes.

The High-Speed Art of the Filleter: The image places you directly over the filleting tables on the bustling "Wet Side" of St Andrew's Dock. The workers—dressed in traditional heavy aprons and flat caps—used razor-sharp knives to process mounds of fresh Arctic cod and haddock entirely by hand. A master filleter could clear a large fish in mere seconds, working with rhythmic precision.

Brutal Operating Conditions: This picture beautifully captures the atmospheric mid-century mist, smoke, and sea spray swirling around the tables. In winter, conditions were notoriously harsh; filleters often had to break the ice off the tables before starting their shifts, working with freezing, numb hands to supply the morning fish trains.

The framed prints use a simple black matt frame with clear glass and are ready to hang.

All prints are packaged in a cardboard presentation box.

Dimensions (including frame) : A2 Framed: 44.2 x 61.6 cm
