Kingston upon Hull, of net Romp soos dit gewoonlik genoem word, is 'n stad van 260 000 mense (2019) in Yorkshire op die noordelike oewer van die Humber-riviermonding. Dit is 'n stad met historiese geboue en sterk bande met belangrike Engelse digters, en met William Wilberforce, wat 'n leidende rol gespeel het in die beëindiging van slawerny in die Britse Ryk.

Vroeë geskiedenis
'N Nedersetting genaamd Myton, hoewel dit nie in die Domesday-boek van 1086 gelys is nie, het in die 11de eeu by die samevloeiing van die rivier Hull en Humber bestaan. Aan die einde van die 12de eeu het die monnike van die nabygeleë abdij Meaux die nuwe stad Wyke geskep, van die Skandinawiese spruit (dws die rivier die Hull). Die stad Wyke het later Hull geword. Die name Myton en Wyke bly as politieke wyksgebiede in die stad.
Aangesien die rivierhull 'n hawe vir die invoer en uitvoer van goedere aangebied het, en die riviermonding van Humber met ander groot riviere verbind is, het die stad Wyke upon Hull gevestig geraak en gedy. Hierdie situasie het die aandag van die stad gevestig op koning Edward I wat op 1 April 1299 sy koninklike handves aan Kyngeston (of King's Town) op Hull toegestaan het. Op 1 April 1299 kon sy Royal Charter op Hull toegestaan word. Die aanleg van die hoofweë van en na die stad is die gevolg van Edward se betrokkenheid. Die belangstelling van verskillende konings, waaronder Hendrik VIII, het 'n invloed gehad op wat die besoeker, met 'n bietjie begrip, kan sien as hy die stad besoek. Die belangrikheid van Hull as 'n hawe, en in sy vroeë jare as 'n arsenaal, op 'n slag die tweede plek na Londen se arsenaal, het in 1327 mure met kantlae en torings laat begin, blokhuise aan die oostelike oewer van die rivier die Hull in 1542 en 'n sitadel , alweer aan die oostelike oewer, in 1681. Alhoewel al hierdie dinge lankal verby is, kan hul afdruk op die ou stad en die daaropvolgende dokke nog steeds waardeer word.
Moderne geskiedenis
In sommige opsigte was die 20ste eeu die mees deurlopende ramp in die lang, lang geskiedenis van hierdie groot maritieme stad. Van 'n hoogtepunt van welvaart aan die begin van die 1900's, met industriële en handelsmagte wat dit op 'n vlak geplaas het met bykans enige ander stad in die land, het die literatuur van gelukverhale teen die laaste dekade van die eeu saamgesweer om te draai Hull in 'n skadu van sy voormalige self. Die afgelope honderd jaar was egter 'n hartseer hoofstuk in 'n epiese verhaal, en met die geboorte van 'n nuwe eeu het die plek wat Larkin die 'eensame noordelike dogter' genoem het, opnuut begin om sy aanspraak op voorspoed en respek weer opnuut te laat herleef. .
Daar word baie investering in die stad gerig, aangemoedig deur die groot sukses van The Deep as 'n belangrike toeriste-aantreklikheid vir besoekers, die uitbou van die ou stad en nuwe kleinhandelaanbiedings. Die gesig van Hull is byna onherkenbaar verander met die herontwikkeling van Ferensway, en die oprigting van die St Stephen's Center, 'n winkelsentrum met luukse kettings, 'n moderne hotel, die Hull Truck Theatre-gebou en 'n musiekleersentrum vir jong mense. . Die Hull Paragon-wisselaar het 'n nuwe busstasie en opgeknapte treinstasie. 'N Nuwe voetbrug oor die rivier die Hull word beplan.
Enigiemand wat die stad eerstehands ervaar sonder enige vooropgestelde idees of vooroordeel, sal jou vertel dat Hull uniek is. Dit is nie meer geïsoleerd nie, aangesien vervoerverbindings met die res van die land meer as voldoende is. Dit was egter honderde jare nie die geval nie, en die resultaat is 'n ware eenmalige saak. Die plek het 'n ware kulturele identiteit en karakter van sy eie. Dit word weerspieël in die aksent (spreek "nee nee" uit as "er ner" en u sal 'n idee hê), die humor, die selfverwydering en die gees van sy mense. Die kleurryke (soms opvallende) Hull, maar altyd boeiende stedelike weefsel en geskiedenis, is die kenmerke daarvan.
Die plat landskap en lae maar dikwels asemrowende historiese geboue gee 'n gevoel dat daar 'n massiewe agtergrond van lug is, en as dit gekombineer word met die uitsig op die broeiende, somber, magtige uitspansel van die Humber-riviermonding vanaf die punt waar dit saamvloei met River Hull, blyk dit dat daar iets spesiaals in die ligging van die stad is.
Saam met die poësie van sy toonsetting het Hull 'n formidabele verbintenis met van die invloedrykste digters in die Engelse letterkunde. Andrew Marvell is onder andere in die Holy Trinity Church gedoop en het die Old Grammar School bygewoon. Die in Coventry gebore digter en bibliotekaresse van die Universiteit van Hull, Philip Larkin, het die grootste deel van sy lewe op Pearson Park 32 gewoon, en Stevie Smith is in Hull gebore. In 2010 het Hull Larkin se lewe en vers gevier met die Larkin25-geleenthede, insluitend poësielesings, 'n toeriste-roete van Larkin en 'n beeldroete van 'Plague of Toads', in herinnering aan Larkin se gedig, 'Toads'. 'N Standbeeld van Larkin is daardie jaar by Paragon Interchange onthul.
Die stad het homself as die "Pionierstad" bestempel, en hierdie aanspraak word gerugsteun deur 'n lys van baie eerstes wat op Humberside afkomstig is. Die tegnologie vir Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is byvoorbeeld in die laat 1960's ontdek en verfyn aan die Universiteit van Hull. Die stad is ook 'n Britse leier in die ontwikkeling van breëband- en telekommunikasietegnologie.
Kingston-Upon-Hull se grootste seun, William Wilberforce, het 'n leidende rol gespeel in die afskaffing van die Britse slawehandel, wat die wêreldgeskiedenis verander het.
Hull is bekroon met die titel UK City of Culture 2017.

Gaan in
Met die vliegtuig
Dit is die verste kant van die land, maar tog Manchester Airport (MAN IATA) is dikwels die gerieflikste, aangesien dit wêreldwye verbindings en mededingende tariewe het. Daar is 'n uurlikse treinrit vanaf die lughawe wat by Leeds vir Hull verander, wat 2 uur 30 minute duur.
Daarteenoor het die Humberside-lughawe (HOE IATA) is slegs 20 km van Hull af via die Humber Bridge, maar daar is slegs 'n paar vlugte per dag na Aberdeen en Amsterdam plus vakansie-charters na die Middellandse See. Stagecoach-bus X1 loop uurliks tussen Hull en die lughawe en neem 30 minute.
Doncaster Sheffield (Robin Hood) lughawe DSA IATA is 60 km wes via M180. Daar is vlugte met Wizz na Pole, Litaue en Roemenië, en Med-vakansiebestemmings deur die grootste pakketoperateurs. First South Yorkshire Bus X4 loop tussen die lughawe en Doncaster Frenchgate-wisselaar, die spoorweg- en busstasie, en neem 25 minute. Busse ry elke 30 minute M-Sa na die lughawe van 05:30 tot 23:30, elke uur op Sondae, met die laaste bus om middernag terug stad toe.
Leeds Bradford Lughawe (LBA IATA) het beter Europese verbindings as Robin Hood, maar het nie 'n spoor- of snelwegverbinding nie. Neem die lughawe-bus na Leeds vir 'n direkte bus of trein na Hull.
Vanaf 2020 is daar minder binnelandse vlugte as gewoonlik in die Verenigde Koninkryk. Eastern Airways bly vlieg.
Met die trein
- 1 Hull Paragon-wisselaar, die spoorweg- en busstasie, is in die middestad. Daar is 'n taxistaanplek net buite en motorhuurbanke op die lokaal.
Direk Hull Treine hardloop elke paar uur tussen Hull en London King's Cross via Doncaster. Maar dit is gewoonlik geriefliker om by Doncaster te wissel, elke 30 min. Trein, 3 uur.
'N Direkte trein per uur ry na Manchester Piccadilly: verander daar of in Leeds vir die lughawe van Manchester (2 uur 30 minute).
'N Sneltrein per uur ry na Sheffield (80 min) via Doncaster en Meadowhall-winkelsentrum. Tussendeur is daar 'n stadige trein, maar jy wag net so vinnig vir die volgende vinnige diens. Verander by Sheffield vir dienste na Birmingham, Bristol en Cardiff.
'N Uur trein ry na York - verander daar vir dienste na Durham, Newcastle en Edinburgh.
Daar is elke paar uur 'n trein vanaf Hull na Scarborough (80 min), via Beverley, Bridlington en Filey.
Met die motor
Die stad is aan die oostekant van die M62 (wat kort voor Hull na die A63 verander) en is maklik bereikbaar vanaf die res van die Britse snelwegnetwerk. Dit het goeie toegang vanaf Lincolnshire en die suide via die A15 en die Humber Bridge, en is bereikbaar via die A1079 vanaf York en die Noorde.
Met die bus
Daar is 'n parkeer-en-ry-diens beskikbaar vanaf die buitewyke van die stad (Priory Park.)
Priory Park and Ride lê suid van Hessleweg vanaf Priory Way. Volg die bordjies op A15 en A63 (Clive Sullivan Way) as u Hull binnekom. Die poskode is HU4 7DY. Die busnommer is 700. Busse ry ongeveer elke 10 tot 15 minute vanaf 07:00 (Saterdae om 07:30). Die laaste rit vanaf die middestad is MF om 18:44 of Sa om 17:59. Daar is geen dienste op Sondag nie. Die diens val af by die Kingston Communications Stadium (en is dus nuttig vir wedstryddae, aangesien die parkeerplek naby die stadion baie beperk is), Hull Royal Infirmary (retoer: £ 1,90 per volwassene; £ 1 per kind) en die sentrum van Hull. (retoerkoste £ 2,40 per volwassene; £ 1,25 per kind.) Seisoenkaartjies is beskikbaar teen £ 8,50 / week, £ 34,20 / maand (HRI) of £ 11,00 / week, £ 43,00 / maand (middestad)(Januarie 2013)
National Express busdienste is in en uit Hull Paragon-wisselaar (sien hieronder 'Rondreis met die bus'). Verskeie van die dienste ry deur na King George Dock om met die veerdienste na die vasteland te verbind.
Stagecoach Hull X62 het 'n paar keer per dag busse Leeds Stadsbusstasie en Hull-wisselaar.
Per boot
P&O Ferries vaar oornag vanaf Rotterdam in Nederland en Zeebrugge in België, neem 12 uur. P&O het aangekondig dat die Zeebrugge-roete sal staak; 'n datum is nie gegee nie, maar waarskynlik aan die einde van 2020. Die Rotterdam-veerboot gaan voort, aangesien dit meer vrag benodig en minder afhanklik is van toeristehandel.
2 Hull veerboot terminale is 6 km oos van die middestad langs die Hedonweg. Die verbindingsbus na die terminale is gery, maar busse 76, 77, 78 en 79 ry gereeld langs Hedonweg. Of neem 'n taxi.
Kry rond
Met die bus
Die busstasie in die middestad van Hull, saam met die Paragon-spoorwegstasie, vorm die Hull Paragon-wisselaar. Die hoofingange / -uitgange vir die stasie is op Ferensway, binne 'n kort afstand van die nuwe St Stephens-bedekte winkelstraat in die noorde, en die sentrale kern van die stad in die ooste. Swart taxi's gebruik die voorkant (Ferensway-kant) van die wisselaar. Privaat motors wat aflaai en passasiers versamel, kan vanaf Anlablyweg inkom. Daar is geen parkeergeld hiervoor nie, maar daar is slegs 'n paar plekke en die wagtyd is beperk. Hier is 'n groot 'betaal en bly'-parkeerterrein.
Busdienste in Hull word bestuur deur East Yorkshire Motor Services en Toneelwag. Soos met die meeste plaaslike vervoerdienste in die Verenigde Koninkryk buite Londen, is kaartjies en tariewe vir busdienste nie by die operateur geïntegreer nie, en u moet afsonderlik betaal vir elke bus waarop u ry. Kaartjies word by die bestuurder van die bestuurder gekoop. Alle inligting rakende busroetes, tye, ens., Kan verkry word vanaf die passasiersinligtingborde, die Reisentrum binne die stasie en kan ook afgelaai word vanaf die stadsraad se webwerf. Die busse kom en gaan vanaf 'n hal aan die noordekant van die wisselaar, waar daar klein winkeltjies is waar snacks gekoop kan word. Daar is 'n paar sitplekke by elke bushalte, maar meer aan die westekant van die hal. Die metaalsitplekke is koud in die winter! As u met die plaaslike bus na die wisselaar reis om 'n trein te haal, moet u genoeg tyd verlaat. Hoewel busse gereeld voorkom, is die roosters by die bushaltes in die stad miskien nie akkuraat nie, want daar is 'n verkeer langs die roete.
Met die motor
Die middestad van Hull is kompak, en hoewel daar parkeerterreine is, is dit min om te probeer om die stadskern met die motor te bereik, want die afstande is kort en parkering op die pad kan problematies wees. Sommige besighede het dalk 'n sekere parkeerplek vir kliënte of besoekers. Om met die motor buite die middestad rond te beweeg, is makliker.
Met die fiets
Hull is een van die beste stede vir fietsry in die Verenigde Koninkryk, met uitgebreide fietspaaie, waaronder sommige veldroetes. Nasionale roetes 65 en 66 kom ook hier saam.
Te voet
Die middestad is redelik kompak en hoofsaaklik voetganger, wat 'n betreklik moeitevrye wandeling deur die stad skep. U moet egter sorg dra as u van die suidelike kant van die Ou Stad af in die rigting van die marina-area oorsteek, aangesien die roete deur Castle Street gekruis word - 'n wye en baie besige tweespoorweg.
Toegang vir gestremdes
Hull het twee skemas om gestremdes te help om in die stad te kom om inkopies te doen en om sake te doen. Die organisasies het wederkerige ooreenkomste, sodat lidmaatskap albei dek. Dit is 'n uitstekende manier vir gestremdes om oor die stad te kom sonder om hul eie toerusting in die stad in te neem.

Alhoewel Hull een van die swaarste gebombardeerde Britse stede gedurende die Tweede Wêreldoorlog was, het die 700 jaar sedert die toekenning van sy eerste handves 'n boeiende rykdom aan argitektoniese juwele gelaat. Van Vlaamse geïnspireerde fasades tot pragtige koepelvormige burgerlike geboue. Van dokkantore tot indrukwekkende industriële erfenispakhuise en -meulens. Van die middeleeuse geplaveide sjarme van die ou stad, groot privaat handelaarshuise en Georgiese terrasse tot die nuutste moderne ontwerp.
- 1 Die huurhuis, ☏ 44 1482 329307 (Meester), 44 1482 320026 (Matrone). Die Charterhouse is een keer per jaar gedurende Hull's Heritage Weekend beskikbaar vir publiek en elke Sondag is daar 'n diens in die kapel van 10:00 tot 11:00 wat die publiek kan bywoon.. The Charter House is weggesteek in 'n taamlik onheilspellende gebied in die stad, en is geleë in 'n klein bewaringsgebied. Die ryk handelaar en eerste burgemeester van Hull, Sir William de la Pole, het in 1350 hier 'n Priory van Carthusiaanse monnike gestig, met die verdere bedoeling om 'n hospitaal te stig. Die 'Gods House Hospital' is uiteindelik deur sy seun gestig, en die handves is in 1384 toegestaan toe die eerste meester aangestel is. Dit het 13 arm mans en 13 arm vroue gehuisves, en was omring deur velde waardeur die rivier se rots gevloei het. Die instelling floreer uit inkomste wat uit sy lande verkry word. Dit het die aandag getrek van Henry VIII, wat in 1536 die Priory gesluit en die monnike uitgewys het. Die hospitaal het egter gebly en het mettertyd die naam The Charterhouse gekry. Hierdie naam is 'n korrupsie van Chartreuse in Frankryk waar die orde van monnike ontstaan het. Met die weiering van Hull om Charles I in 1642 toe te laat en die begin van die Engelse burgeroorlog, word die stad 'n teiken vir die Royalists en word die Charterhouse buite die stadsmure gesloop sodat 'n geweerbattery daar geplaas kan word om die stad te verdedig. . In 1649 keer die Meester met sy kudde terug na die terrein en word die Charterhouse herbou. Verwaarlosing en verval het egter veroorsaak dat hierdie gebou in 1777 afgebreek en 'n derde gebou is, en die enigste oorblywende stuk oorspronklike kluis was die klip voor die deur van die Meesterhuis. Maar meer sou kom, en hoewel die Charterhouse die Tweede Wêreldoorlog oorleef het, het die blitz wat Hull opgedoen het, sy geboue baie beskadig. Sedert die herstel en uitbreiding met 'n beter woonkwartier, verteenwoordig die mense wat daar woon, nou nie meer de la Poles 'behoeftige en vervalle persone' nie, maar betaal hulle verblyf en word inwoners genoem. Wat bekend staan as die Charter House, bestaan uit die Meesterhuis en ommuurde tuin waar na bewering Andrew Marvell onder die Moerbeiboom gespeel het en aan die noordekant van die pad Old House wat die fyn kapel met sy Adams-plafon bevat.
Queen Victoria Square
Die middestad van Hull, waaruit al die wye winkelstrate van die laat 19de / vroeë 20ste eeu uitstraal. In die hart staan koningin Victoria, omring deur die pragtige koepels van die Maritieme Museum en die stadsaal.
- 2 Ferens-kunsgalery. Permanente versameling van beeldhouwerk en skilderye van die Middeleeuse tot vandag toe, en 'n gereelde program van tydelike uitstallings van regoor die wêreld. Die Ferens is sterk op ou Europese meesters, veral Nederlands en Vlaams, en huisves ook van die beste kontemporêre kuns in die land. Dit bevat meesterwerke van Frans Hals, Antonio Canaletto, Stanley Spencer, David Hockney, Helen Chadwick en Gillian Wearing. Daar is 'n aangename kafee op die grondvloer van die galery met 'n buitegedeelte wat uitkyk oor 'n gedeelte van Prince se beskuldigdebank. In Februarie tot April word elke jaar die 'Ope Tentoonstelling' aangebied, waarvoor amateurs en professionele kunstenaars, teen 'n klein bedrag, hul eie werk te koop of bloot kan uitstal. Vry.
- 3 Maritieme Museum. Voorheen die Walvismuseum en gehuisves in die oorspronklike dokskantore vir die Prince's Dock en Queen's Dock (nou Queen's Gardens). Dit is 'n groot, ouderwetse museum gewy aan Hull se glorieryke verowering van die Hoogsee en aan die dikwels tragiese opofferings daaraan. 'N Elegante trap styg vanaf die ingangsportaal en daar is uitstallings om alle ouderdomme te interesseer, van 'n walvis se skelet tot modelle van skepe tot 'n uiteensetting van die vismetodes. Vanaf Oktober 2020 is die museum gesluit vir opknapping. Vry.
- 4 Hull-stadsaal. Die stadsaal, voltooi in 1903 en ontwerp deur Frank Matcham, het die totale vernietiging deur Luftwaffe tot 'n mate getrotseer. Toe die bomskade van 1941 uiteindelik in 1950 goedgemaak is, het dit weer oopgegaan om met sy groen koperdak te verskyn as een van die mees geliefde strukture in die stad. Rondom die boonste westelike punt van die gebou is 'n fries ter herdenking van beroemde musikale komponiste. Die koepel van die vorige stadsaal, gebou in 1866 deur Cuthbert Brodrick, is geleë aan die westekant van Pearson Park. Die stadsaal bied nou gereeld konserte vir rock, pop, klassieke en komedie-geleenthede aan. Links van die ingang is die besprekingskantoor vir geleenthede in die stad, en regs is die Toeriste-inligtingskantoor.
Queen's Gardens
- 5 Queen's Gardens. In 1930 geopen en bo-op die ou Queen's Dock gebou. Die beskuldigdebank is in die laat 1700's gebou, en op 10 hektaar groot was dit die grootste dok in Engeland. Dit was egter eers in 1854 dat dit Queen's Dock genoem is na koningin Victoria. U kan nog steeds die oorspronklike vorm van die beskuldigdebank in die mure en geboue rondom die tuine uitmaak. Van die geboue aan die suidekant is die ou pakhuise van die beskuldigdebank. Aan die oostekant staan die Wilberforce Monument en in die weste, die ou dokkantore, nou die Maritieme Museum. Die tuine is gesink en bevat blombeddings, sitplek en 'n groot grasperk.
- 6 Die Guildhall, ☏ 44 1482 613902 (Guildhall kurator). Loop langs en aan die suidekant van Queen's Gardens en met Alfred Gelderstraat aan die suidekant. Gebou tussen 1903-1916, volgens 'n ontwerp wat deur die kompetisie gekies is, is dit die tuiste van die stadsraad; dit huisves ook die stad se silwer, die Hull Tapisserie, die ou landdroshof, en hieronder die selle! Die Guildhall is 'n groot plaat van burgerlike trots, welvaart en vertroue in die vroeë 20ste eeu. Aan die westekant is 'n beeldhouwerk wat 'Maritime Prowess' simboliseer bo-op sy sierlike neoklassieke ontwerp en aan die oostekant 'n kloktoring. Vanaf 1991 het The Hull Tapestry 15 jaar geneem om te voltooi en in 19 panele word belangrike aspekte van die stad se geskiedenis en ontwikkeling uitgebeeld. Die tapisserie kan besigtig word (gratis) van Maandag tot Donderdag 08:30 tot 16:30 en Vrydag 08:30 tot 15:30. Om dit te besigtig, vra by die ontvangstoonbank van die Guildhall. Guildhall toere is ook gratis beskikbaar, maar dit moet vooraf bespreek word.
- 7 Mick Ronson-gedenktoneel. Die belangrikste fokus van geskeduleerde geleenthede gedurende die somermaande. Die kitaarspeler, wat saam met twee ander Hullensians David Bowie se orkes The Spiders from Mars in die vroeë sewentigerjare gevorm het, is gebou na die ontydige dood aan kanker en het in die vroeë 1970's saam met Bob Dylan, Elton John, Lou Reed en Morrissey sukses behaal. . Die verhoog het in 1997 'n onvergeetlike toespraak van die vryer van die aartsbiskop Desmond Tutu aangebied. Agter die verhoog is 'n gedenkplaat ter herdenking van die fiktiewe karakter van Robinson Crusoe, wat van Hull afgevaar het in die beroemde gelyknamige roman van Daniel Defoe. Hierdie boek - is aangevoer - was die eerste roman in die Engelse taal in 1719.
Drie-eenheidskwartaal
Dit is geskep op die terrein van die ou markplein voor die Holy Trinity Church en die groot Victoriaanse Hepworths Arcade geniet. Dit is die belangrikste tuiste in die middestad vir oesjaarklere, onafhanklike platewinkels en alternatiewe winkels. Die plein het baat gevind by sensitiewe restourasies, insluitend sitplek en openbare kuns, asook 'n groot verskeidenheid klein kafees met buitelugareas om dit 'n belangrike bestemming vir enige toer te maak.
- 8 Trinity House. 'N Groot roomgebou - beslaan die gebied op die hoek van Trinity House Lane en Postern Gate. In die 14de eeu het hier 'n Karmelitiese Friary gestaan. Trinity House het die terrein in die 16de eeu oorgeneem. Begin as 'n gilde om na seevaarders en hul gesinne om te sien, en Trinity House het uitgebrei om die skeepsvaart in die Humber te beheer. Die huidige fasade dateer uit 1753, en veral opvallend is die versierde fronton aan die oostekant met 'n leeu, eenhoorn, Britannia en Neptunus.
- 9 Hull Minister. Dit is die grootste parochiekerk in Engeland, maar as 'n stuk imposante Middeleeuse kerklike argitektuur, is dit meer soos 'n katedraal. Die oudste dele dateer uit c. 1300 en die 150 meter hoë toring bevat 'n ring van 15 klokke.
- 10 Andrew Marvell-standbeeld (staan op 'n sokkel in Trinity Square). (1621-1678), digter en LP vir Hull. Gebore in Winestead-in-Holderness net buite Hull, verhuis hy na die stad toe sy vader die pos as dosent in die Holy Trinity-kerk inneem. Hy is grootgemaak in die Charter House waar sy pa Meester was en die tuin waarin hy gespeel het, is nog steeds daar. Agter sy standbeeld is die Old Grammar School wat hy bygewoon het.
- 11 Ou Grammatika Skool (Hands on History Museum), S Kerk se kant, ☏ 44 1482 613902. Dit is een van die oudste grammatikaskole in Engeland wat dateer uit die 16de eeu en is oop tot 1873. Van 1884 tot 1915 was dit die Choir School for Holy Trinity-kerk. Onder die vele beroemde geleerdes van die verlede was Andrew Marvell en William Wilberforce. In 1988 word dit Hands on History Museum wat fokus op die geskiedenis van Hull en sy mense, die Victoriaanse kinderjare in die klaskamer herskep en 'n egte Egiptiese mummie bevat. Kindervriendelik. Vry.
- 12 Die wolpakhuis. Met sy cartouche bo die deur van 'n lam wat geweeg word, staan dit aan die oostekant van die Ou Grammatika. Hierdie gebou was eens die tuiste van Hull's Wool Exchange en getuig van die vroeëre belang van Hull in hierdie handel. Die uitvoer van wol is in die Middeleeue deur die monnike in die omgewing begin, en die verskillende verlate middeleeuse dorpies van die Wolds (die gloeiende krytland noord van Hull) is vermoedelik die gevolg van die vroeë uitbreiding van wolhandel.
- 13 Prinsstraat. Die boog wat lei na Prinsstraat is aan die westekant van die plein. Hierdie geboë Georgiese straat lei na Dagger Lane. Die prins waarna dit vernoem is, was die toekomstige koning George IV.
- 14 Handelaarspakhuis. Op die hoek van Kingstraat en Robson Row wat op die suidwestelike hoek van die plein lê. Sodra die kantore van verskillende handelaars is, is dit nou woonstelle. Hierdie groot baksteengebou is 'n herinnering dat Hull geen natuurlike bousteen in die omgewing het nie, so baie van die vroeë geboue was van baksteen.
Die Museumkwartier en Hoogstraat
Hierdie gebied loop langs die rivier die Hull en was die hoofstraat in die middel van die Middeleeuse ou stad.
- 15 Arctic Corsair. Hull se laaste oorblywende treiler in die rivier, geleë aan die agterkant van die Museumkwartier-kompleks. Begeleide toere is beskikbaar. Vry.
- 16 Streetlife Museum of Transport, Hoë St., ☏ 44 1482 300300, ✉[email protected]. M-Sa 10: 00-17: 00. Vertoon 200 jaar se geskiedenis van vervoer. Vry.
- 17 Wilberforce-huis, 23-25 High St., ☏ 44 1482 300300, ✉[email protected]. M-Sa 10:00 - 17:00, So 13:30 - 16:30. Geboorteplek en woning van William Wilberforce (1759-1833), parlementslid vir afskaffing van Hull en slawerny, wie se wetsontwerp op slawerny uiteindelik in 1807 aanvaar is na sy onvermoeide veldtog. Die huis is sedert 1903 'n museum in sy geheue. Vry.
Princes Quay en Whitefriargate
Whitefriargate is die deurpad wat die ou en nuwe dorpe verbind, en is al eeue lank die hoof winkelstraat. Na afname wat veroorsaak word deur die opkoms van nuwe winkelsentrums, is daar 'n plan vir die straat om kafees, kroeë en galerye te lok.
- 1 Princes Quay. 'N Winkelsentrum wat op stelte oor die kaai gebou is. Die tuiste van 'n groot Vue-bioskoop - wat ten tyde van die opening was - die eerste volledig digitale bioskoop in Europa. Die futuristiese glasskerwe van die sentrum het verrassend goed uitgegaan, en die staptog op die lang, ligte en lugagtige ingang van die Queen Victoria-plein en oor die water is 'n opwindende ervaring wat u van 'n winkelsentrum in die middestad sou kon vra.
- 18 Beverley Gate, 35 Whitefriargate. Aan die Queen Victoria Square-einde van Whitefriargate word 'n opgegrawe gaatjie met 'n klein amfiteater en baksteenmuur die Middeleeuse Beverley Gate aangedui. Dit het tot die oorspronklike stadsmure behoort en dit is waar koning Charles I in die 17de eeu toegang tot Hull geweier is - die eerste militêre daad van die Engelse burgeroorlog.
- 19 Die land van groen gemmer. N nou straat wat die aansluiting van Whitefriargate en Silwerstraat met die suidelike punt van Manorstraat. Die naam is al in baie fiksiewerke gebruik, maar die oorsprong daarvan is onduidelik. Dit is vermoedelik ontstaan as gevolg van die bestaan van 'n nabygeleë Middeleeuse speserymark, maar is waarskynlik te wyte aan die seun van 'n Nederlandse handelsfamilie met die naam 'Lindegroen' wat moontlik sy onderneming in die omgewing gevestig het en daarom waarskynlik 'n Engelse korrupsie van 'Lindegroen Jonger' (Lindegroen Junior.) Die kleinste venster in Engeland is in die George-hotel op die land van groen gemmer.
- 20 Parlementsstraat. lei Whitefriargate ongeveer halfpad af. Dit is die tuiste van baie professionele praktyke in die middestad, en dit word weerspieël in die fyn Georgiese argitektuur. Dit is gebou om toegang te gee tot die stadspoort, nou Queens Gardens.
Die jachthaven en omstreke
- 21 Hull Marina. Ontwikkel uit die ou verlate Humber Dock in die vroeë 1980's, bied ruimte vir 270 seiljagte en klein vaartuie in sy permanente en besoekende lêplekke. Die omgewing is 'n aangename wandeling met wonderlike kafees en ou kroeë, en word jaarliks aangebied Sea Fever Shanty-fees.
- 22 Spurn Lightship (In een van die permanente slaapplekke). Gebou in 1927, het dit 48 jaar lank as 'n navigasiehulpmiddel in die benaderings van die Humber-riviermonding gedien. Vry.
- As die belangrikste sakekern van die middestad, is die gebied in die weste bekend as Humber Quays is geoormerk vir groot kantoor- en residensiële ontwikkeling, met die Hull and Humber Wêreldhandelsentrum, die HQ2-gebou en Freedom Quay-woonstelle, sowel as landskapsversiering van hoë gehalte aan die rivierfront, is as fase 1 voltooi.
- 23 Die diepte. 'N Reusagtige en skouspelagtige akwarium wat uitkyk oor die riviermonding van Humber. Dit is gebou as Hull se belangrikste millenniumprojek en het alle verwagtinge oortref om 'n suksesvolle toeristebestemming te word, en die tweede plek ten opsigte van die Eden-projek in Cornwall.
Buite die middestad
- 24 Humber Bridge (Barton-upon-Humber). Dit was die langste hangbrug ter wêreld toe dit in 1981 voltooi is.
- 25 Die Lane. 'N Bewaringsgebied waarvan die uiteenlopende huisargitektuur en straatplan interessant sal wees vir die gemaklike besoeker en belangstellendes in Victoriaanse, Edwardiaanse en na-die-Eerste Wêreldoorlog residensiële behuising. Vanaf 1875, toe Prince's Avenue geopen is en kort na die ontstaan van Pearson Park, is vier parallelle paaie, Marlborough, Westbourne, Park en Victoria en twee dwarsstrate, Richmond en Salisbury, tussen Chanterlandslaan in die weste en Prince's Avenue uitgelê. na die ooste. Die oorspronklike plaasgrond is vir boudoeleindes onderverdeel op so 'n manier dat dit lopies van eiendomme van verskillende style opgelewer het, hoewel huise gewoonlik later is as in die ooste. Sirkels met fonteine was 'n kenmerk en gedurende die afgelope dekades is dit herstel - hoewel nie so vol fonteine nie. Die huise het vroeër gegote ysterrelings gehad: hulle is verwyder vir die 'oorlogspoging', maar is nooit gebruik nie, aangesien die metaal van die verkeerde aard was! Hul invoeggate kan steeds op plekke gesien word, net soos die vreemde stuk oorspronklike reling, alhoewel dit nie langs die voorkant is nie, maar tussen die huise. Teen 1910 was The Avenues in wese in sy huidige vorm. Daar is baie interessante huise in die omgewing, maar die grootste is die wat deur George Gilbert Scott junior ontwerp is, wat tussen 1877 en 1879 gebou is. Dit kan gevind word langs die westekant van Salisburystraat tussen Westbourne en Parklaan. Een of twee nuwer huise kan gesien word wat gebou is op bomskade van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, ou tuine, speelvelde of in een geval 'n bakkery. Van die begin af het die welvaart van The Avenues gewissel. Die Avenues and Pearson Park Residents Association (APPR) het die behoud van die distrik gelei. Op die eerste twee Sondae in Julie is baie tuine oop vir besoekers en met Kersfees word baie vensters aangesteek as 'Adventkalenders'. The Avenues word genoem in Pevsner en Neave se 1995-boek, maar daar is ook verskillende boekies oor die gebied gepubliseer. The Avenues Conservation Area - Praktiese leiding vir inwoners oor opknapping, beplanning en ontwerp, 2007, ISBN 0-9541031-3-0, sal interessant wees vir diegene wat nuuskierig is vir huishoudelike argitektuur. Te voet is die busse beskikbaar met die busse wat langs Prince's en Chanterlands Avenue ry. Dit is beskikbaar by die Hull Paragon-wisselaar. Geen busse ry deur die gebied nie. Oor die dag is daar parkeerplek op die pad beskikbaar, maar snags is daar gewoonlik skaars ruimtes.
- Hull Parks. Drie van die vier belangrikste is in die laat 1800's aangelê as 'n reaksie op Victoriaanse altruïsme om die bevolking oop groen gebiede te bied vir ontspanning. Daar is vier groot parke, maar verskeie kleiner. Soos baie parke in die wêreld, is dit miskien nie oordeelkundig om in die nag daarheen te dwaal nie.
- 26 Oos Park, ✉[email protected]. Gedurende 1885 en 1886 het werkloosheid en honger sommige dele van Hull aangegryp en is werk verskaf aan werkloses om 'n deel van East Park uit te lê. 'N Groot park van ongeveer 120 hektaar is verbeter. Dit is in Oos-Hull van Holdernessweg, ongeveer 3 km oos van die middestad, en is toeganklik vir die meeste busse wat ooswaarts ry. Dit spog met 'n groot boot- en vismeer, 'n paviljoen en 'n kafee, 'n plonspoel, rolbalbane, voetbal- en rugbyvelde, 'n wandeling deur die volière, 'n omheinde takpark en 'n kleiner meer vir vaarmodelle. Op die meeste Sondae vind u liefhebbers wat verskillende modelbote varieer, van wisselende kompleksiteit, van oppervlakvaartuie tot af en toe 'n duikboot. A splash boat operates in the summer months along with pedal boats that can be hired. There are shops and pubs near the various entrances which provide the park with good amenities.
- 27 West Park. Much smaller than East Park it was opened in 1885 and is adjacent to the Walton Street Park and Ride. A model railway is operated by volunteers and more information on this could be obtained from Hull and District Society of Model and Experimental Engineers. There are bowling greens and at the south west corner is the interesting Carnegie Library now a local heritage resource centre. The park is now rather over shadowed by the KC Stadium and suffers a little from the proximity of busy roads. However, there is a £7 million make over planned for this park
- 28 Pickering Park. Named after Christopher Pickering a successful trawler owner who donated 50 acres of land for a park which opened in 1911. Adjacent to the park Pickering also built Pickering Homes, a set of 12 attractive alms houses for ex-fishermen. Situated in west Hull on Pickering Road off Boothferry Road. The park has fishing ponds, football pitches, bowling greens, ornamental gardens, an aviary and a boating lake. The park hosts concerts and fishing competitions
- 29 Pearson Park (the park lies between Beverley Road and Prince's Avenue about 1 mile north west of the city centre). This is Hull's first public park, tree planting starting in 1860. It was opened as the Peoples Park, but was later named Pearson Park after Zachariah Pearson, ship owner and at one time Mayor of Hull. He gave the land to the people of Hull but being a shrewd business man retained 12 acres of land round it for housing development. Pearson went bankrupt running arms to the southern states in the American Civil War and is buried in a modest grave in the nearby old General Cemetery on Spring Bank West, which itself is worth a visit. At the east side there is a large pair of ornamental metal gates and within the park there is a small lake and fountain, a ‘Victorian’ glasshouse, statues of Queen Victoria (1861) and Prince Albert (1868), an elegant Victorian drinking fountain (1864), the cupola of the old Town Hall (west side) and next to this a children’s playground. Bowling greens are situated at the east side. Many of the large houses surrounding the park are of interest and include the one in which Philip Larkin, the poet, lived from 1956-1974.
- 26 Oos Park, ✉[email protected]. Gedurende 1885 en 1886 het werkloosheid en honger sommige dele van Hull aangegryp en is werk verskaf aan werkloses om 'n deel van East Park uit te lê. 'N Groot park van ongeveer 120 hektaar is verbeter. Dit is in Oos-Hull van Holdernessweg, ongeveer 3 km oos van die middestad, en is toeganklik vir die meeste busse wat ooswaarts ry. Dit spog met 'n groot boot- en vismeer, 'n paviljoen en 'n kafee, 'n plonspoel, rolbalbane, voetbal- en rugbyvelde, 'n wandeling deur die volière, 'n omheinde takpark en 'n kleiner meer vir vaarmodelle.

A splash boat operates in the summer months along with pedal boats that can be hired. There are shops and pubs near the various entrances which provide the park with good amenities.
- 30 [dooie skakel]The Garden Village. During the late 1800s and early 1900s a number of industrial philanthropists around the country became aware of the very poor housing occupied by many of their workers and decided to build houses of a higher standard for them. One such philanthropist was Sir James Reckitt, a Quaker, who developed the Hull based company Reckitt and Sons which was started by his father Isaac. The company became Reckitt and Colman in 1938, and Reckitt Benckiser in 1999. In 1907 Sir James formed a company, the Garden Village (Hull) Ltd., with his own money and initiated the building of The Garden Village which he opened on July 1, 1908. The houses were rented, the amount depending on their size, but in 1950, tenants were allowed to buy them. Garden Village has a mix of house size and architectural styles (but all have gardens), there is a large grassy area, The Oval, where the houses were individually designed, a Club House supporting various activities, a colonnaded shopping centre restored as flats and three alms houses, now homes for the elderly, referred to as Havens. All the roads are tree lined and named after trees, e.g. Chestnut Avenue, Lilac Avenue. The area, which lies some 2 miles NE of the city centre (near East Park), can be approached from Holderness Road via Village Road or Laburnum Avenue or from James Reckitt Avenue via Laburnum or Chestnut Avenues.

Hull lends itself well to walking, and the following highlights five walking routes around the old part of the city.
- The Docks Walk. This walk, which is just about wheel chair friendly, takes you along the docks which encircled the old town.
- The early town was substantially walled from the River Hull at a point just south of where North Bridge now stands to the River Hull where it meets the Humber. The wall, pierced by four land gates for entry and exit, formed three sides of a ‘square’ round the old town. Until King Henry VIIIs intervention the River Hull formed the town’s major defence on east side. The pattern of roads in the old town is influenced by the wall and its gates. The Beverley Gate in what was the west wall is of some historical significance as it was here that King Charles I, who was interested in acquiring Hull’s arsenal, was barred from the town by Sir John Hotham on a rainy 23 April 1642. This action was a contributory factor in the start of the English Civil War. The development of the first docks essentially followed the line of the demolished old town wall and walking along these docks you are encompassing the old town.
- Standing by the tall Wilberforce Monument at the east end of Queens Gardens (formally Queen’s Dock) you are at a point where a lock joined the River Hull to the first of Hulls docks. The lock ran under what is now Hull College, the large white building at the east end of the gardens. Opened in 1778 the dock was first known as Town Dock then the Old Dock and eventually Queen’s Dock renamed to commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria to the city in 1854. When it was built it was the largest dock in England and took much pressure off the harbour in the River Hull. The north side of the dock is slightly higher than the south as the soil dug out when excavating the dock was tipped here. At the west end of Queen’s Gardens stand the domed Dock Offices. The offices were built in 1867-71 and built in such a way as to look east along Queen's Dock and south along the other docks which allowed dock officials to see the coming and going of ships. The offices are a Victorian statement to the importance of the port of Hull.
- Walking along the centre of Queen’s Gardens towards the Dock Offices you are approximately following the line of the towns old North Walls. Looking south from the Dock Offices (now the Maritime Museum) you see Prince’s Dock. This was originally called Junction Dock, because it joined two docks, but was renamed Prince’s Dock after Prince Albert the husband of Queen Victoria. This dock opened in 1829 (decommissioned in 1968) and joined the southern most dock, Humber Dock (opened 1809, now the Marina), to Queen’s Dock. Monument Bridge (so called because the Wilberforce Monument once stood near it) crossed the lock joining Queens Dock and Prince’s Dock and some of its stanchions can be seen in the nearby excavation. The bridge (removed in 1932) opened between 30 to 40 minutes each hour for the passage of ships which was a considerable inconvenience to road users! Importantly, in the same excavated area as the bridge stanchions are the remains of the famous Beverley Gate. It was at this gate that King Charles I was refused entry into Hull, the first overt act of defiance of the English Civil War. Walking towards Prince's Dock Street, on the east side of Prince’s Dock, you pass the end of Whitefriargate. This is not the original name of this street but never the less an ancient one being named after the white robed Carmelite friars who arrived in Hull in the 13th century. At the east end of this street are the interestingly named streets of ‘Land of Green Ginger’ and ‘Bowlalley Lane’ as well as the famous old, though slightly hidden, Ye Olde White Harte pub. It is said that it was here the meeting took place in 1642 to exclude King Charles I from Hull. The buildings on the east side of Prince’s Dock are mainly old warehouses and associated shipping offices but notable frontages are Roland House and the entrance to Hull Trinity House School. Railway lines use to run along the dock side and rows of open sheds allowed the loading and unloading of ships. Princes Quay shopping centre was built partly over the dock in 1991.
- South of Prince’s Dock is the Marina (Humber Dock, opened 1809). It lies on the south side of the very busy Castle Street, part of the south orbital road which leads to, besides other things, the eastern Hull docks. The old Spurn Light Ship is moored here, entry is free. In September the Marina serves as a backdrop for Hull's famous international ‘Shanty Festival’. The Railway Dock (opened 1846) which comes off the west side of the Marina now also houses pleasure craft. Towards the southern end of the Marina, on the east side, is Humber Street. It used to be called The Ropery as ships ropes were made here and this was the southern most street of the walled town. Soil from the excavation of the docks was used to reclaim the land south of here. Humber Street was, for many years, the centre for fruit, vegetable and flower importation into Hull. Redevelopment of this area is planned. At the end of the Marina is the lock leading to the dock Basin and the Humber. West of the Basin is a new office development built on what were the railway goods yards which were next to the Railway Dock. Close to the Basin on the east side is the Minerva pub and near to this some excellent award winning public toilets. East of this area, across the River Hull, can be seen the Deep, Hull’s famous marine attraction.
- A recommended walk from here is up Queens Street, across the busy Castle Street, along Market Place turning right down Scale Lane and then left (north) up High Street. Diversions to Holy Trinity church, with some of the earliest examples of medieval brickwork in the country, and into the old town can be made and are highly recommended.
- The Haven Walk takes you round the north part of the Haven, Hull's early harbour. Many early wooden sailing ships were built along this section of the River Hull, some of them 'Men o'War' for the English navy. As Hull developed the Haven became so crowded with ships that Queens dock had to be built. The walk is under a mile long and is just about wheelchair friendly. Some dereliction will be seen but one hopes that if, or when, development takes place the important features will be saved. At North Bridge it is possible to extend this walk to take in The Charterhouse. Details of this are found in section "See".
- For a stranger the easiest place to start is at the east end of the Guildhall (built 1916). Facing east towards Drypool Bridge cross the road (care!) and walk past the City Hotel pub and the black and white 'half timbered' White Hart pub (1904) to the junction of Salthouse Lane and High Street. Both these pubs were listed grade II in 1994. Turning north up High Street a few new houses are past on the west side.
- On the east side can be seen Blaydes House (circa 1760) with its Georgian portico. It is now the location of the Hull Maritime Studies Centre of the University of Hull. A period hall leads to an elegant stairway lit by an equally elegant arched rear window. In the 1600s and 1700s the Blaydes were important merchants and shipbuilders who had dealings with Samuel Pepys for Admiralty work though in 1702 got into trouble when they blocked North Bridge with a ship’s ‘boltspright’ (bowsprit)! Blades staith (a Norse word meaning ‘landing place’) runs down the south side of the house and their land ran from this staith north to their dry dock behind the Dock Office further up the street.
- Just a little further on the east side of the street is Haworth House (built 1887) and named after the owners but latter used in the interwar period as ‘National Works’ offices. The Haworth and Blaydes family were related by marriage. Beyond this house on the east side are two small houses, Barton House and its neighbour. The only notable feature on the west side is the small road called North Walls, the rest of the area having been redeveloped. This road follows the line on the original North Walls of the city and during the construction of the new buildings their foundations came to light. North Walls lead to Queens Gardens.
- The next building on the east side is the elegant Dock Offices built in 1820. A side door on the right side of the building allowed merchants, workers etc access, the front door not being available to them! With the increase in shipping these offices moved, in 1871, to those at Queens Gardens. Behind and to the right of the Dock Offices building is the dry dock that belonged to the Blaydes and where the 400-ton Bethia (Bounty) was built in 1782. The large dry dock to the north of the Dock Offices was originally the basin to the Queens Dock lock, the Queens Dock being the other side of the Hull College, the large building to the west. The lock basin was turned into a dry dock in 1957 and was in operation into the 1990s. A plaque in the pavement and bricked lines in the road show the position of the old entrance to Queens dock. The lock gates are no longer water tight and the dock fills and empties with the tide. The dock has an example of a Scotch Derrick crane. Here High Street becomes Dock Office Row. Towards the end of Dock Office Row a house (number 3) has an ornate Georgian entrance.
- At this junction of four roads the small dead end road on the right is the remains of Bridge Street which led to the old North Bridge. The large building on the left of this small road is North Bridge House, originally a warehouse or mill but now flats. Grade II listed in 1994.
- Here the walk can be extended to the Charterhouse. This is only a couple of hundred metres further on and is found off Wincolmlee directly opposite the top of High Street across George Street. Turn left down Charterhouse Lane by the old Board School. For details of the Charterhouse consult "See" above. To continue this walk -- at the main road (George Street) turn east towards and over North Bridge. Like Drypool Bridge it is a bascule bridge. Follow the road curving left but stop on the corner. Across the road is a pharmacy, once Annisons Funeral Directors and Livery Stables. The horses were stabled upstairs and a walk through the arch to the yard beyond reveals the staircase on the left which the horses used. Diagonally across the road can be seen the ornate terracotta brick parapet of the first ferro-concrete bridge built in Britain in 1902. A plaque on the south west end commemorates this.
- Follow the road round the corner for a few meters to the small dead end road on the right and walk to the east river bank. This piece of road is what is left of the eastern one to the old North Bridge. From here can be seen some timber work on the west bank which relates to the old North Bridge. Next to the bridge is the tall North Bridge House with elements of the hoisting floor, interesting hip-roof, iron finials on the ridges and attractive chimney stacks.
- Walking along the east river bank towards Drypool Bridge (in 1888 a wrought iron swing bridge) the gates of four old locks can be seen in the west bank as well as the backs of the high street houses. The elegant rear window of the Blaydes house can be seen. In the distance can be seen the smallish conical tower of the City Archives, the square clock tower of the Guild Hall, the crenelated tower of St Mary’s church and the metallic grey dome of the Law Courts. The path passes over the entrance to an old dry dock to the left. The dock is now silted up but interestingly the end is bow shaped and not straight. The past shipping activity along here is indicated by mooring stanchions. Towards Drypool Bridge two large buildings are evident. One is the land mark Shotwell tower where pellets are made for shot gun cartridges and on the far side of the bridge is the Ranks Clarence Flour Mills. Following his fathers death (his father being a miller) Joseph Rank started milling in Hull in 1875, his first windmill still stands on Holderness Road. Clarence Flour Mills on the side of the River Hull was rebuilt in 1952 having been destroyed by bombing in World War II. Joseph’s son, J. Arthur Rank, became the ‘movie mogul’.
- At the end of the path mount the steps or ramp to Drypool Bridge. Down stream you can see the Arctic Corsair, a side winder trawler (free entry but booking necessary), the Tidal Surge Barrier (built 1980) and beyond that The Deep (opened 2002), Hulls famous ‘submarium’. The Deep is built on the site of another famous shipyard, that of the 19th-century ship builder, Martin Samuelson. On Drypool Bridge turn right which brings you back to the Guildhall. Alternatively cross the road –carefully—(there is a crossing near the Guildhall) and proceed on another walk along the west bank of the River Hull. This starts next to the south side of the bridge lifting gear.
- The Fish Trail. The trail takes you round old Hull by following various fish types embossed on the pavement. People take rubbings of the best ones but make sure children are safe from peoples feet! To get the most out of this walk get a leaflet (£0.40) from the Tourist Information Office (Tel 44 1482 223559) which is to the right of the City Hall entrance. On completion of the walk the Tourist Office will give you a free certificate to say you have done it!
- Walking with Wilberforce Trail. This trail takes you round the old town among places that would probably have been familiar to William Wilberforce who was famous for his part in the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. He was born in Hull and his early education took place here. He later became the Member of Parliament Hull. The trail starts where he was born at Wilberforce House in High Street. If you have time you could start with visiting the house, now a museum about slavery. There are twelve stops in the trail the final one being the Wilberforce Monument at the east end of Queens Gardens. Obtain a leaflet from the Tourist Information Office (Tel 44 1482 223559)on the right hand side of the City Hall entrance.
- The Victoria Dock Heritage Trail takes you around a south east area of Hull which at one time included Victoria Dock (1850-1970) and the Timber Ponds 1 and 2. Only a few landmarks remain as most disappeared under the Victoria Housing development. The area was once a vibrant cog in Hull’s economy but little remains to testify to this. The walk of about 2 hours takes covers an area from The Deep, on the edge of the River Hull, to the eastern edge of where Timber Ponds and Earle’s Ship Yard used to be. A leaflet can be obtained from the Tourist Information Office.
Gebeurtenisse
- Sea Fever Shanty Festival. The major part of Hull's Maritime Festival. Usually held on the first Saturday and Sunday in September it attracts major shanty singers from the UK as well as from around the world. The main stage is along the Prince's dock side and groups sing in the pubs near by. While some stalls along the dock sell variety a of things others represent various organisations. All performances are free though the concerts in the City Hall on Saturday evening and the Survivors Concert on Sunday evening are by ticket. Various barges are moored alongside and can be visited free of charge. If your into shanty singing it's a really good weekend.
- 6 Hull Fair. A huge travelling fair, and one of the city's greatest regular occasions, if not its greatest. It is the biggest European fair, and at over 700 years old, also one of the oldest. Visiting the fair is a must, though for evening visitors from a long way out of town, overnight accommodation may be necessary. The first charter for a ‘fair’ was granted in 1278 though in 1293 Edward I proscribed the original length of it. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it developed more into a fair, and less of a festive market, and later mechanisation allowed more varied and bigger ‘rides’ to be developed. In 1888, the fair moved to its current site in Walton Street where itk occupies an area of 16 acres. Attractions vary: simple stalls where you can win prizes; large complex rides many of which may challenge one if not all your senses; children’s rides; stalls selling all manner of food (candy floss, hot- dogs, chips, brandy snap, toffee apples, coconuts, etc.) and goods (balloons, masks, toys, fancy hats, cheap jewellery, etc.) It is not easy to cover the whole fair in one visit and local people may go several times. Prices are less on the first afternoon the fair opens but daylight takes something away from the experience. At night the fair is brightly lit and its glow can be seen from miles away. At night it is crowded though generally safe but the hand of young children should be held as, in any crowded space, they can soon get lost from view in the mass of people. The weather can be cold so warm clothing is advisable. Police and medical services patrol the fair. Parking near the fair is difficult so a walk is usually required. Three main entrances are available; Spring Bank West and Walton Street, Anlaby Road and Walton Street and the metal bridge at the junction of Argyle Street and Londesborough Street. Hull Fair is held during the second week of October. The exact dates are available on the Hull Fair web site.
Leer
- Die University of Hull is considered one of the friendliest universities in the UK. The foundation stone of the University College Hull (operating through the University of London) was laid in 1928 by King George VI. It obtained its own University Charter in 1954 as the University of Hull. The old campus was expanded by the addition of the old University of Humberside site which moved to Lincoln as the University of Lincoln. The University is on Cottingham Road, the front buildings of which are not without merit.
- Die University of Lincoln also has a presence within the city though its main activity is now in the City of Lincoln.
Koop
Along with the influx of investment into the regeneration of the city centre, there is evidently a concerted effort to expand and improve upon the city's retail offerings. The St Stephen's shopping centre includes over 30 large format stores such as Next, USC, Cult, Zara and H&M along with many other high street names.
- 2 Princes Quay. Built on stilts above the Princes Dock the shopping centre is the largest mall in the city centre, with over 100 shops on three floors.
- Planning permission has been granted to expand the main shopping centre of Princes Quay out to the west. The £300 million Quay West scheme would be an open air expansion, with the proposed regeneration of this land more than doubling the current size of the centre.
- 3 Savile Street. For classic tailoring and trendy designer names, the cobbled Savile Street to the north of Queen Victoria Square is the best bet, with Read's and Bolo (Lyle and Scott Vintage, Puma Heritage, Diesel etc.) amongst them.
- 4 Hepworth Arcade, Silver St, HU1 1JU. Unusual for having a right angle bend in it, is home to a quirky selection of stores including Dinsdales the brilliant old-school joke shop, Beasley's American work wear and vintage, Fanthorpes stereo shop, a fine art gallery called Myton Gallery which sells a variety of original paintings including those of Roger Davies; David Curtis (RSMA); Bruce Mulcahy (RSMA); Peter Bell and Sue Howells. There is also a Japanese and Oriental clothes and accessories boutique called Kimono My House. Take the weight off your feet at The Coffee Cup café. There is a rather unassuming entrance to the covered market at the bend of the arcade.
- 5 The Covered Market (Trinity Market), Trinity House Ln, HU1 2JH. The entrances to this are at the bend in Hepworth's Arcade, on Lowgate opposite Liberty Lane, North Church Lane via a pub and on Trinity House Lane. The main section of the market sells food stuffs, e.g. meat, fish, bread, vegetables. while the rest of the covered area has stalls selling a mixture of goods, e.g. records (specializing in Punk, Indie, New Wave, Psychedelia and Funk), cards, musical instruments, prints.

Drink
Hull is certainly not short of traditional pubs.
The Avenues (Princes and Newland Avenue) on the outskirts of the city centre, is a traditionally Bohemian area which has taken off, with masses of new restaurants, bars and cafes.

Bly veilig
Efforts have been made to crack down on violent crime in the city centre, and some of the most troublesome establishments have been closed down to make way for new development. However, as with any other town in the UK, evenings on a weekend are a time when you should be particularly vigilant.
Some areas in the north of the city, predominantly Bransholme and Orchard Park are very impoverished and suffer from gang and drug related problems. These areas are best avoided, especially at night. Care should also be taken when travelling down Hessle Road and Preston Road but generally, tourists would have little reason to visit these areas anyway.
- Humberside Police, Humberside Police Headquarters, Priory Police Station, Priory Rd., ☏ 44 845 60 60 222 (non-emergency premium rate number).
