Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>A photographer who frequented a pub nearly four decades ago and caught life there on camera has returned to recapture similar scenes 40 years on.<\/b><\/p>\n

Russell Boyce took a series of photos in the Star & Garter pub on Hessle Road while he studied in Hull and says he became “part of the furniture”.<\/p>\n

He revisited his former haunt in 2022 to capture his former photos in the same position they were taken in 1983.<\/p>\n

“It’s like the figures were coming back to have another pint,” he says.<\/p>\n

The pub’s name is now Rayners, as it was known informally when the original images were taken.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Russell Boyce says many of the drinkers in 1983 were “old, retired or unemployed fishermen, their wives or their widows”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The photographer was a student when he first visited the Hull pub and lived nearby<\/p>\n

Mr Boyce first went in the pub, which was a popular meeting place for Hull’s fishing community, when he was a student photographer learning the trade.<\/p>\n

The lensman, who used to live just off Hessle Road, says: “I came here every single day, just shooting pictures, until eventually everyone just ignored me, I became a part of the furniture.<\/p>\n

“That’s when you can get in closer. You can walk around and get the pictures and they just ignore you.”<\/p>\n

Mr Boyce said the pub was a spot where deep-sea trawlermen, who worked for weeks at sea then came home for a couple of days, used to gather.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rayners, which was officially the Star & Garter in the early 1980s, is situated where West Dock Avenue meets Hessle Road<\/p>\n

By 1983, many of the drinkers were “old, retired or unemployed fishermen, their wives or their widows”, he says.<\/p>\n

The photographer, who went on to work for the Reuters agency for 20 years after honing his skills in Hull, says: “I thought it’d be nice to try to connect the pictures from the 1980s to now.<\/p>\n

“What hasn’t changed is the warmth of the people accepting what I’m doing and it’s wonderful.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The pub, pictured here in both 1983 and 2022, is a short walk away from the Humber<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The smell of cigarette smoke may have long gone, but Russell Boyce put this pair back in the corner of the pub where they once sat and chatted<\/p>\n

Rachel Naylor, the pub’s current landlady, says: “There’s not a day where I don’t learn anything about the pub.<\/p>\n

“Another story, another piece of history. The things people have got to tell you are fantastic. ”<\/p>\n
