The Bridge over the Drain!

A Visit 

A visit was recently made to the bridge, which it is believed was the setting for Stephenson’s “Dead or Alive” story.  The bridge is about 15 minutes walk from the rear of what was once Willows House and spans what us Hull Folk call the Drain!

I took several shots in the area, obtained maps and took laser measurements of all the distances involved.

The Weather 

I have also recieved confirmation of the weather patterns on the nights that Stephenson had his meetings, and later his encounter with the paranormal.  These have been digitised and added to my work on Stephenson.  I still have to go through these figures and see how they fit in with Stephenson’s story.

The Stars 

I have also made contact with an archival service which has the celestial readings for the nights in question as Stephenson remarks on the moon during the story.

Hopefully this will fo someway in backing up his claims, or debunking them.
