Kingston upon Hullvõi lihtsalt Kere nagu seda tavaliselt nimetatakse, on aastal 260 000 inimesega linn (2019) Yorkshire Humberi jõesuudme põhjakaldal. See on ajalooliste hoonete linn, millel on tugevad ühendused oluliste inglise luuletajate ja William Wilberforce'iga, kellel oli Briti impeeriumis orjanduse lõpetamisel juhtiv roll.

Varajane ajalugu
Kuigi asula nimega Myton, ei olnud see 1086. aasta Domesday raamatus kirjas, eksisteeris 11. sajandil Hulli ja Humberi jõe liitumiskohas. 12. sajandi lõpul lõid lähedal asuva Meaux kloostri mungad Skandinaavia tähenduselt ojast (st Hulli jõest) uue linna Wyke. Hiljem sai Wyke linn Hulliks. Nimed Myton ja Wyke jäävad linna poliitkoguduse piirkondadeks.
Kuna Hulli jõgi pakkus sadamat kaupade impordiks ja ekspordiks ning Humberi suudmeala oli ühendatud teiste suuremate jõgedega, sai Wyke upon Hulli linn sisse ja õitses. See olukord juhtis linna tähelepanu kuningas Edward I-le, kes külastas ja andis lõpuks Hullil Kyngestonile (või kuninga linnale) selle kuningliku harta 1. aprillil 1299. Põhiteede paigaldamine linna ja tagasi on tulemus Edwardi kaasamine. Erinevate kuningate, sealhulgas Henry VIII huvi on mõjutanud seda, mida külastaja võib vähese mõistmisega linna külastades näha. Hulli tähtsus sadamana ja selle algusaastatel arsenalina, mis oli korraga teisel kohal kui Londoni arsenal, põhjustas 1327. aastal laevade ja tornidega müüride rajamise, 1542. aastal Hulli jõe idakaldal asuvad blokimajad ja tsitadelli. , taas idakaldal, aastal 1681. Kuigi kõik need on juba ammu möödas, võib nende jälgi vanalinnas koos järgnevate dokkidega siiski hinnata.
Kaasaegne ajalugu
Mõnes mõttes oli 20. sajand selle suure merelinna pika ja pika ajaloo kõige järjekindlamalt õnnetum ajastu. Alates jõukuse tipust 1900. aastate alguses koos tööstusliku ja kaubandusliku jõuga, mis viis selle peaaegu kõigi teiste selle maa linnadega tasemele, oli sajandi viimaseks kümnendiks selle raskete õnnelugude litaania julmalt kokku leppinud Hull oma endise mina rahvuslikult tajutavasse varju. Viimased sada aastat olid aga eepilises loos kurb peatükk ja uue sajandi sündides on koht, mida Larkin nimetab „üksikuks põhjapoolseks tütreks“, hakanud taas imekombel taaselustama ning panustama oma jõukuse ja austuse nõudmisele .
Linna suunatakse palju investeeringuid, mida julgustab The Deep tohutu edu kui keskne peamine külastajate vaatamisväärsus, vanalinna kasvamine ja uued jaemüügipakkumised. Hulli nägu on peaaegu tundmatuseni muutunud Ferensway ümberehitamise ning Püha Stefani keskuse, kõrgekettide kaubanduskeskuse, moodsa hotelli, Hulli veoautoteatri hoone ja noorte muusikaõppekeskuse rajamise teel . Hull Paragoni vahetuspunktis on uus bussijaam ja renoveeritud raudteejaam. Kavas on uus jalgsild üle Hulli jõe.
Kõik, kes on linna omal nahal ilma eelarvamuste ja eelarvamusteta kogenud, ütlevad teile, et Hull on ainulaadne. See ei ole enam isoleeritud, kuna transpordiühendus ülejäänud riigiga on enam kui piisav. See ei olnud nii sadu aastaid, ja tulemus on tõeline ühekordne. Sellel paigal on tõeline kultuuriline identiteet ja oma iseloom. See peegeldub aktsendis (hääldage "oh ei" kui "er ner" ja teil on idee), huumoris, oma inimeste eneseväljendamises ja vaimus. Hulli värvikas (kohati jahmatav), kuid alati põnev linnakangas ja ajalugu on selle märgid.
Tasane maastik ja madalad, kuid sageli hingematvad ajaloolised hooned annavad aimu, et seal on tohutu taeva taust, ja kui need on ühendatud vaatega Humberi jõesuudme hauduvale, süngele ja võimsale avarusele punktist, kus see läheneb, Hulli jõgi, ilmneb, et linna asukohas on midagi erilist.
Koos selle luulega on Hullil tohutu seos inglise kirjanduse mõjukaimate luuletajatega. Teiste seas ristiti Andrew Marvell Püha Kolmainsuse kirikus ja ta käis Vanas Gümnaasiumis. Coventry sündinud luuletaja ja Hulli ülikooli raamatukoguhoidja Philip Larkin elas suurema osa oma elust Pearsoni pargis 32 ja Stevie Smith sündis Hullis. 2010. aastal tähistas Hull Larkini elu ja värsse koos Larkin25 üritustega, sealhulgas luulelugemiste, Larkini turismiraja ja skulptuurirajaga „Kärnkonnakatk”, meenutades Larkini luulet „Kärnkonnad”. Sel aastal avati Paragon Interchange'is Larkini kuju.
Linn on end nimetanud "teedrajavaks linnaks" ja seda väidet toetab paljude Humberside'ist pärit esmajärjekordade loetelu. Näiteks vedelkristallekraani (LCD) tehnoloogia avastati ja täiustati Hulli ülikoolis 1960. aastate lõpus. Linn on ka Ühendkuningriigi liider lairiba- ja telekommunikatsioonitehnoloogia arendamisel.
Kingston-Upon-Hulli suurimal pojal William Wilberforceil oli juhtiv roll Suurbritannia orjakaubanduse kaotamises, mis muutis maailma ajaloo nägu.
Hull pälvis Suurbritannia 2017. aasta kultuurilinna tiitli.

Tule sisse
Lennukiga
See on riigi kaugem pool, kuid Manchesteri lennujaam (MEES IATA) on sageli kõige mugavam, kuna sellel on globaalsed ühendused ja konkurentsivõimelised hinnad. Leedsi lennujaamast vahetub Hulli kohta tunnitrongiteenus, mis kestab 2 tundi ja 30 minutit.
Seevastu Humberside'i lennujaam (HUY IATA) on Humbrist Humberi silla kaudu vaid 20 miili kaugusel Hullist, kuid Aberdeeni ja Amsterdami on vaid paar lendu päevas ning Vahemerele saabuvad puhkusepaketid. Stardecoachi buss X1 sõidab tunnis Hulli ja lennujaama vahel ning võtab aega 30 minutit.
Doncaster Sheffieldi (Robin Hood) lennujaam DSA IATA on M180 kaudu 60 miili läänes. Suuremate pakettoperaatorite poolt pakutakse Wizziga lende Poola, Leetu ja Rumeeniasse ning Medi puhkusereiside sihtkohta. Esimene Lõuna-Yorkshire'i buss X4 sõidab lennujaama ja Doncasteri Frenchgate vahetuspunkti, raudtee- ja bussijaama vahel 25 minutiga. Bussid sõidavad lennujaama iga 30 minuti tagant M-Sa kell 5: 30–23: 30, tunniti pühapäeviti, viimane buss sõidab linna tagasi keskööl.
Leeds Bradfordi lennujaam (LBA IATA) ühendused on paremad kui Robin Hood, kuid puudub raudtee- või kiirteeühendus. Sõitke lennujaama bussiga Leedsi, et sõita otse bussi või rongiga Hulli.
Alates 2020. aastast on Suurbritannias tavapärasest vähem siselende. Eastern Airways jätkab lendamist.
Rongiga
- 1 Kere Paragoni vahetus, raudtee- ja bussijaam, asub kesklinnas. Kohe väljas on taksopeatus ja kontoris on autorendipunktid.
Otsene Kere rongid joosta iga paari tunni tagant Hulli ja Londoni kuninga rist Doncasteri kaudu. Kuid tavaliselt on mugavam ümber istuda Doncasteris, rongid iga 30 min järel, sõit 3 tundi.
Tunnis sõidab otse rong Manchester Piccadilly: muutke seal või Leedsis Manchesteri lennujaama (2 h 30 min).
Tunnis sõidab kiire rong Sheffield (80 min) kaudu Doncaster ja Meadowhalli kaubanduskeskus. Nende vahel on aeglane rong, kuid sama kiiresti ootate järgmist kiiret teenindust. Sheffieldis vahetus Birminghami, Bristoli ja Cardiffiga.
Tunnis sõidab rong York - muutke seal teenuseid Durhami, Newcastle'i ja Edinburghi.
Iga paari tunni tagant on Hullist rong Scarborough (80 min) via Beverley, Bridlington ja Filey.
Autoga
Linn asub M62 idaosas (mis vahetult enne Hulli vahetab A63-le) ja sinna pääseb hõlpsasti ülejäänud Ühendkuningriigi kiirteevõrgust. Sellele on hea juurdepääs alates Lincolnshire ja lõunasse mööda A15 ja Humberi silda ning sinna pääseb mööda A1079-t Yorkist ja põhjast.
Bussiga
Siin on pargi- ja sõiduteenus saadaval linna äärelinnast (Priory park.)
Priory park ja sõit asub Hessle maanteest Priory Way ääres lõuna pool. Kui tulete Hulli, järgige viitasid A15 ja A63 (Clive Sullivan Way). Postiindeks on HU4 7DY. Busside arv on 700. Bussid sõidavad orienteeruvalt iga 10–15 minuti tagant alates kella 7.00 (laupäeviti kell 7.30.) Viimane teenus kesklinnast tagasi on M-F kell 18.44 või Sa kell 17.59. Pühapäeval jumalateenistusi ei toimu. Teenus läheb ära Kingstoni kommunikatsioonistaadionil (ja on seetõttu kasulik mängupäevadel, kuna parkimisvõimalused staadioni lähedal on väga piiratud), Hulli kuninglikus haiglas (edasi-tagasi piletihind: 1,90 naela täiskasvanu kohta; 1 naela lapse kohta) ja Hulli kesklinnas (edasi-tagasi hind 2,40 naela täiskasvanu kohta; 1,25 naela lapse kohta.) Hooajapiletid on saadaval hinnaga 8,50 naela nädalas, 34,20 naela kuus (HRI) või 11,00 naela nädalas, 43,00 naela kuus (kesklinn)(Jaanuar 2013)
Rahvuslik ekspress bussiteenused toimivad Hulli Paragoni vahetuspunktis ja sealt välja (vt allpool „Bussiga liiklemine“). Mitmed teenused toimivad kuningas George Docki kaudu, et ühendada parvlaevaga mandrile.
Stagecoach Hull X62 vahel on busse mitu korda päevas Leeds Linna bussijaam ja Hulli vahetus.
Laevaga
P&O parvlaevad alates üle öö purjetada Rotterdam Hollandis ja Zeebrugge Belgias 12 tundi. P&O on teatanud, et Zeebrugge'i liin lõpetatakse; kuupäeva ei ole antud, kuid tõenäoliselt 2020. aasta lõpus. Rotterdami parvlaev jätkub, kuna see võtab rohkem kaupa ja on vähem sõltuv turismikaubandusest.
2 Hull parvlaevaterminal on kesklinnast 4 miili ida pool Hedoni teed. Terminaliga ühendav buss on teljega, kuid bussid 76, 77, 78 ja 79 sõidavad sageli mööda Hedoni teed. Või võta takso.
Liigu ringi
Bussiga
Hulli kesklinnas asuv bussijaam koos kõrval asuva Paragoni raudteejaamaga moodustavad Kere Paragoni vahetus. Jaama peamised sisse- ja väljapääsud asuvad Ferenswayl, lühikese vahemaa kaugusel uuest St Stephensi kaetud kaubatänavast põhjas ja linna keskosast idas. Mustad kabiinid kasutavad ristmiku esiosa (Ferensway külg). Isiklikud autod, mis mahajäävad ja reisijaid koguvad, saavad siseneda Anlably teelt. Selle eest parkimistasu ei võeta, kuid kohti on vähe ja ooteaeg on piiratud. Siin on suur parkimise parkimise võimalus.
Bussiühendust haldab Hullis Ida-Yorkshire'i autoteenused ja Vanarahvas. Nagu enamike kohalike transporditeenuste puhul Suurbritannias väljaspool Londonit, ei ole bussiliinide piletimüük ja piletihind operaatorite vahel integreeritud ning peate maksma iga bussi eest, millega sõidate. Bussi minnes ostetakse piletid juhilt. Kogu bussiliinide, kellaaegade jms kohta saab teavet reisijate infotahvlitest, jaama piires asuvast reisikeskusest ning selle saab alla laadida ka linnavolikogu veebileht. Bussid tulevad ja lähevad vahetusruumi põhjaküljel asuvast salongist, kus on mõned väikesed poed, kust saab osta suupisteid. Mõlemas bussipeatuses on mõned kohad, kuid rohkem saali läänepoolses otsas. Metallist istmed on talvel külmad! Kui reisite kohaliku bussiga Interchange'i rongile jõudmiseks, jätke piisavalt aega. Ehkki bussid on üsna sagedased, ei pruugi linnaümbruse bussipeatuste sõiduplaanid olla täpsed, kuna marsruudil takistab liiklus.
Autoga
Hulli kesklinn on kompaktne ja kuigi seal on parklad, pole mõtet proovida kesklinnast autoga tegelikult ümber sõita, kuna vahemaad on lühikesed ja maanteel parkimine võib olla problemaatiline. Mõnel ettevõttel võib olla mõni klientidele või külastajatele mõeldud parkla. Autoga liikumine väljaspool kesklinna on lihtsam.
Jalgrattaga
Hull on üks parimaid linnu jalgrattasõit Suurbritannias ulatuslike rattateedega, sealhulgas mõned maastikul. Siin lähenevad ka riigitrassid 65 ja 66.
Jalgsi
Kesklinn on üsna kompaktne ja peamiselt jalakäijatega, mis tekitab linnas suhteliselt vaevarikka jalutuskäigu. Vanalinna lõunaküljelt jahisadama piirkonna poole minnes tuleks siiski olla ettevaatlik, kuna marsruuti ristub Lossi tänav - lai ja väga tiheda liiklusega kahesõidutee.
Ligipääs puuetega inimestele
Hullil on kaks skeemi, mis aitavad puuetega inimestel poodlemiseks ja äritegevuseks linnas ringi liikuda. Organisatsioonidel on vastastikused lepingud, nii et liikmelisus hõlmab neid mõlemaid. See on suurepärane võimalus puuetega inimestele linna liikumiseks ilma, et peaks oma seadmeid linna tooma.

Vaata
Ehkki Hull oli Teise maailmasõja ajal kõige rohkem pommitatud Suurbritannia linnade seas, on 700 aastat pärast selle harta andmist jätnud talle põneva hulga arhitektuuripärleid. Alates flaami inspireeritud fassaadidest kuni kaunite kupliga kodanikuehitisteni. Dokkidest kuni tööstuspärandi ladude ja veskiteni. Alates vanalinna keskaegsest munakivisillust, suursugustest eramajamajadest ja Gruusia aegsetest terrassidest kuni tipptasemel kaasaegse kujunduseni.
- 1 Charterhouse, ☏ 44 1482 329307 (Kapten), 44 1482 320026 (Matroon). Charterhouse on seejärel üldsusele avatud kord aastas, Hulli pärandinädalavahetusel, ja igal pühapäeval on kabelis kell 10.00–11.00 jumalateenistus, millel üldsus saab osaleda.. The Charter House asub linna üsna ebasoodsas piirkonnas, Charterhouse Lane'i ääres ja asub väikesel kaitsealal. Jõukas kaupmees ja Hulli esimene linnapea Sir William de la Pole asutas siin 1350. aastal Kartuusia munkade preestruse, kavatsusega rajada haigla. ’Gods House’i haigla’ asutas lõpuks tema poeg, harta anti 1384. aastal, kui nimetati esimene peremees. Selles elas 13 vaest meest ja 13 vaest naist ning seda ümbritsesid põllud, mille kaudu voolas Hulli jõgi. Asutus edukas oma maadelt saadud tulust. See äratas tähelepanu Henry VIII tähelepanu, kes 1536. aastal sulges Prioriumi ja pööras mungad välja. Haigla aga jäi ja omandas aja jooksul nime The Charterhouse. See nimi on Chartreuse'i korruptsioon Prantsusmaal, kust algasid munkade ordu. Kuna Hull keeldus 1642. aastal vastu võtmast Charles I-d ja algas Inglise kodusõda, sai linn rojalistide sihtmärgiks ja Charterhouse lammutati, olles väljaspool linnamüüre, nii et linna kaitsmiseks võis sinna asetada relvapatarei . Aastal 1649 naasis meister oma karjaga kohale ja Charterhouse ehitati uuesti üles. Unarusse jätmine ja lagunemine põhjustasid selle hoone 1777. aastal mahavõtmise ja ehitati kolmas hoone, mille ainus järelejäänud tükk algsest preestrist oli magistrikoja ukse kohal olev kivi. Kuid neid pidi veel tulema ja ehkki Charterhouse elas üle II maailmasõja, tekitas Hulli pilk tema hoonetele palju kahju. Pärast restaureerimist ja parendatud eluruumidega laiendamist ei esinda seal elavad inimesed enam de la Poles ‘vaeseid ja lagunenud inimesi’, vaid maksavad nende majutuse eest ja neid nimetatakse elanikeks. Harta maja koosneb magistrikojast ja müüriga aiast, kus väidetavalt mängis Andrew Marvell Mulberry puu all ja vana maja põhjapoolsel küljel, kus on peen Adamssi laega kabel.
Kuninganna Victoria väljak
Hulli keskus, kust kiirgavad kõik 19. sajandi lõpu / 20. sajandi alguse laiad ostutänavad. Selle keskmes seisab kuninganna Victoria, mida ümbritsevad meremuuseumi ja raekoja suurepärased kuplid.
- 2 Ferensi kunstigalerii. Skulptuuride ja maalide püsikollektsioon keskajast tänapäevani ning regulaarne ajutiste näituste programm kogu maailmast. Tugevalt vanadele Euroopa meistritele, eriti hollandi ja flaami keeltele, on Ferensis ka üks parimat kaasaegset kunsti riigis. Sisaldab Frans Halsi, Antonio Canaletto, Stanley Spenceri, David Hockney, Helen Chadwicki ja Gillian Wearingi meistriteoseid. Galerii esimesel korrusel on meeldiv kohvik, mille välimine osa on vaatega Prince'i doki osale. Iga aasta veebruarist aprillini toimub seal avatud näitus, kuhu harrastajad ja professionaalsed kunstnikud saavad mõõduka tasu eest esitada oma teoseid müüki või lihtsalt välja panna. Tasuta.
- 3 Meremuuseum. Varem vaalapüügimuuseum ja asus printsi doki ja kuninganna doki (praegu kuninganna aiad) originaalsetes dokkide kontorites. See on tohutu, omapäraselt vanamoodne muuseum, mis on pühendatud Hulli hiilgavale Avamere vallutamisele ja sageli sellele traagilistele ohvritele. Esikust tõuseb elegantne trepp ja seal on väljapanekud, mis pakuvad huvi igas vanuses alates vaalava luustikust kuni laevamudeliteni ja lõpetades kalapüügiviiside selgitustega. Alates oktoobrist 2020 on muuseum renoveerimiseks suletud. Tasuta.
- 4 Hulli raekoda. 1903. aastal valminud ja Frank Matchami kujundatud raekoda trotsis mingil määral Luftwaffe täielikku hävitamist. Kui 1941. aasta pommikahjud 1950. aastal lõplikult korvati, avanes see uuesti ja ilmus koos rohelise vaskkatusega linna ühe armastatuima ehitisena. Hoone ülemise läänepoolse otsa ümber on friis, mis meenutab kuulsaid muusikaheliloojaid. Eelmise raekoja kuppel, mille 1866. aastal ehitas Cuthbert Brodrick, asub Pearsoni pargi lääneküljel. Linnahallis korraldatakse nüüd regulaarselt roki-, pop- ja klassikalisi kontserte ning komöödiaüritusi. Sissepääsust vasakul on linna ürituste broneerimiskassa ja paremal turismiinfokeskus.
Kuninganna aiad
- 5 Kuninganna aiad. Avatud 1930. aastal ja ehitatud vana kuninganna doki kohale. Dokk ehitati 1700. aastate lõpus ja 10 aakri suurune dokk oli Inglismaa suurim dokk. Kuid alles 1854. aastal nimetati see kuninganna Victoria järgi kuninganna dokiks. Aedu ümbritsevates seintes ja hoonetes saate endiselt välja selgitada doki algkuju. Mõned lõunakülje hooned on doki vanad laod. Idapoolses otsas seisab Wilberforce'i monument ja läänes vanad dokkide kontorid, nüüd Meremuuseum. Aiad on vajunud ja sisaldavad lillepeenraid, istekohti ja suurt rohtunud ala.
- 6 Gildihall, ☏ 44 1482 613902 (Gildhalli kuraator). Töötab Queeni aedade kõrval ja lõunaküljel ning lõunaküljel Alfred Gelderi tänavaga. Aastatel 1903–1916 ehitatud ja konkursi korras valitud kujunduse järgi on see linnavolikogu kodu, seal asub ka linna hõbe, kere seinavaip, vana magistraadikohus ja selle all rakud! Gildihall on 20. sajandi alguse kodanikuuhkuse, õitsengu ja enesekindluse suurepärane tahvel. Läänepoolses otsas istub skulptuur, mis sümboliseerib merenduslikku võimekust, kaunistatud uusklassikalise kujunduse ja idaosas kellatorni kohal. Alates 1991. aastast kere seinavaiba valmistamiseks kulus 15 aastat ja 19 paneelil on kujutatud linna ajaloo ja arengu olulisi aspekte. Gobelääni saab vaadata (tasuta) esmaspäevast neljapäevani kell 8.30–4.30 ja reedel kella 8.30–3.30. Selle vaatamiseks küsige Gildhalli vastuvõtulaualt. Gildhalli ekskursioonid on saadaval ka tasuta, kuid need tuleb eelnevalt broneerida.
- 7 Mick Ronsoni mälestusstaadium. Kavandatud ürituste põhirõhk kogu suvekuudel. Pärast Mick Ronsoni ennetähtaegset surma vähki oli kitarrist, kes koos kahe teise Hullensianiga lõi 1970ndate alguses David Bowie bändi The Spiders from Mars ja läks teiste seas edukalt koos Bob Dylani, Elton Johni, Lou Reedi ja Morrisseyga . Laval oli linna peapiiskop Desmond Tutu meeldejääv kõne 1997. aastal. Lava taga on mälestustahvel mälestamaks filmi väljamõeldud tegelaskuju. Robinson Crusoe, kes asus Hullist teele Daniel Defoe kuulsas samanimelises romaanis. See raamat - vaieldi - oli esimene ingliskeelne romaan 1719. aastal.
Kolmainsuse kvartal
See on loodud Püha Kolmainsuse kiriku ette asuva vana turuplatsi ümber ja võtnud sisse suurejoonelise viktoriaanliku Hepworthsi arkaadi. See on kesklinna peamine kodu vintage rõivaste, sõltumatute plaadipoodide ja alternatiivsete jaemüügikohtade jaoks. Väljakule on olnud kasulik tundlik restaureerimine, sealhulgas istekohad ja avalik kunst, samuti suur valik väikseid välikohvikutega kohvikuid, et muuta see kõigi vaatamisväärsuste jaoks ülioluliseks sihtkohaks.
- 8 Kolmainsuse maja. Suur koorehoone - hõivab ala Trinity House Lane'i ja Posterni värava nurgal. 14. sajandil seisis siin karmeliitide kirik. Trinity House võttis selle koha üle 16. sajandil. Alustades gildina, et hoolitseda meremeeste ja nende perekondade eest, laienes Trinity House, et kontrollida laevaliikluse liikumist Humberis. Praegune fassaad pärineb aastast 1753 ja erilist tähelepanu pöörab idaküljel kaunistatud fronton, mis sisaldab lõvi, ükssarvikut, Britannia ja Neptuuni.
- 9 Korli minister. See on Inglismaa suurim kihelkonnakirik, kuid keskaegse kirikuarhitektuuri osana on see pigem katedraal. Vanimad osad pärinevad aastast c. 1300 ja 150 jala kõrgune torn sisaldab 15 kellast koosnevat rõngast.
- 10 Andrew Marvelli kuju (seisab Kolmainsuse väljakul soklil). (1621-1678), luuletaja ja Hulli saadik. Hulli lähedal Winestead-in-Holdernessis sündinud kolis ta linna, kui tema isa asus Püha Kolmainsuse kirikus lektori ametikohale. Ta kasvatati hartimajas, kus tema isa oli meister, ja aed, kus ta mängis, on siiani alles. Tema kuju taga on vana gümnaasium, kus ta käis.
- 11 Vana gümnaasium (Käed ajaloomuuseumis), S kiriku pool, ☏ 44 1482 613902. See on üks Inglismaa vanimaid 16. sajandist pärit gümnaasiume, mis on avatud kuni 1873. Aastatel 1884–1915 oli see Püha Kolmainsuse kiriku koorikool. Selle paljude kuulsate minevikuteadlaste seas olid Andrew Marvell ja William Wilberforce. 1988. aastal sai Käed ajaloomuuseumis mis keskendub Hulli ja tema inimeste ajaloole, loob klassiruumis viktoriaanliku lapsepõlve ja sisaldab ehtsat Egiptuse muumiat. Lapsesõbralik. Tasuta.
- 12 Villane ladu. Kaalutava lamba ukse kohal oleva kartuliga seisab see vana gümnaasiumi idaküljel. See hoone oli kunagi Hull’s Wool Exchange'i kodu ja see tunnistab Hulli varajast tähtsust selles kaubanduses. Villa ekspordi algatasid keskajal selle piirkonna mungad ja arvatakse, et mitmesugused Woldsi mahajäetud keskaegsed külad (veerev kriidimaastik Hullist põhja poole) on varase villakaubanduse laienemise tulemus.
- 13 Printsi tänav. Printsi tänavale viiv kaar asub väljaku lääneküljel. See kaarduv Gruusia tänav viib Dagger Lane'i. Prints, kelle järgi see nimetati, oli tulevane kuningas George IV.
- 14 Kaupmeeste ladu. Väljaku edelanurgas asuva King Streeti ja Robson Rowi nurgal. Kunagi erinevate kaupmeeste kontorid on nüüd korterid. See suur tellistest hoone meenutab, et Hulli läheduses pole looduslikku ehituskivi, nii et paljud varasemad ehitised olid tellistest.
Muuseumikvartal ja Peatänav
See piirkond kulgeb Hulli jõe kõrval ja oli keskaegse vanalinna keskmes asuv peatänav.
- 15 Arktika korsaar. Hulli viimane järelejäänud traaler külgveel, sildunud Hulli jões muuseumikvartali kompleksi taha. Saadaval on giidiga ekskursioonid. Tasuta.
- 16 Tänavaelu transpordimuuseum, Kõrge St., ☏ 44 1482 300300, ✉[email protected]. P-Sa 10.00–17.00. Näidatakse 200-aastast transpordiajalugu. Tasuta.

Princes Quay ja Whitefriargate
Whitefriargate on läbisõidutee, mis ühendab vanu ja uusi linnu ning on olnud sajandeid peamine ostutänav. Pärast uute kaubanduskeskuste tekkimisest tingitud langust on tänaval plaanis kohvikuid, baare ja galeriisid meelitada.
- 1 Vürstide kai. Kai kohale vaiadele ehitatud kaubanduskeskus. Kodu suurele Vue kinole - mis oli avamise ajal - Euroopa esimesele täielikult digitaalsele kinole. Keskuse futuristlikud klaasikillud on dateeritud üllatavalt hästi ja jalutuskäik mööda pikka, kerget ja õhulist sissepääsu Kuninganna Victoria väljakult ja üle vee on sama virgutav kogemus, mida võiksid küsida kesklinna ostureisilt.
- 18 Beverley värav, 35 Whitefriargate. Kuninganna Victoria väljaku Whitefriargate'i otsas näitab keskaegset Beverley väravat kaevatud auk, mis sisaldab väikest amfiteatrit ja tellisseina. See kuulus algsesse linnamüüri ja seal keelati 17. sajandil kuningas Charles I Hulli sisenemine - see oli esimene Inglise kodusõja sõjategu.
- 19 Rohelise ingveri maa. Kitsa ristmiku ühendav kitsas tänav Whitefriargate ja Hõbeda tänav aasta lõunapoolse otsaga Mõisa tänav. Seda nime on kasutatud paljudes ilukirjandusteostes, kuid selle päritolu on ebaselge. Arvati, et see sai alguse lähedal asuva keskaegse vürtsituru olemasolust, kuid pigem Hollandi kauplemisperekonna poja nimega „Lindegroen“, kes võib-olla asutas oma äri selles piirkonnas ja on seetõttu tõenäoliselt "Lindegroen Jongeri" (Lindegroen Junior.) ingliskeelne korruptsioon Inglismaa väikseim aken on rohelise ingveri maal asuvas hotellis George.
- 20 Parlamendi tänav. viib Whitefriargate'i juurest umbes poolel teel maha. See on kesklinna paljude erialapraktikate kodu ja see kajastub ka Gruusia peenes arhitektuuris. See ehitati selleks, et pääseda juurde Queens Gardens'i linnadokile.
Jahisadam ja ümber
- 21 Hull Marina. See on välja töötatud vanast mahajäetud Humberi dokist 1980. aastate alguses, pakkudes alalistes ja külastatavates kaites ruumi 270 jahile ja väikesele purjelaevale. Piirkond on nauditav jalutuskäik koos mõnede suurepäraste kohvikute ja vanade pubidega ning igal aastal võõrustab seda Merepalaviku Shanty festival.
- 22 Spurn Lightship (Ühes alalises kai ääres). Ehitatud 1927. aastal, oli see 48 aastat Humberi jõesuudme lähistel navigeerimise abivahendina. Tasuta.
- Kesklinna peamise äripiirkonnana on läänes asuv piirkond tuntud kui Humberi kaid on ette nähtud tohutuks büroo- ja elamuarenduseks koos Hulli ja Humberiga Maailma Kaubanduskeskus, HQ2 hoone ja Freedom Quay korterid koos kõrgekvaliteedilise haljastusega kuni jõefassaadini, mis on valminud 1. etapina.
- 23 Sügav. Suur ja tähelepanuväärne akvaarium, kust avaneb vaade Humberi suudmealale. Ehitatud Hulli peamise aastatuhande projektina, on see ületanud kõik ootused saada massiliselt edukaks turismisihtkohaks ja jääda Cornwallis asuva Eedeni projekti külastajate arvu poolest teiseks.
Kesklinnast välja
- 24 Humberi sild (Barton-upon-Humber). Humberi suudmeala ulatuses oli see maailma pikim üheahelaline rippsild, kui see valmis 1981. aastal.
- 25 Avenues. Hoiuala, mille mitmekesine majaarhitektuur ja tänavaplaan pakuvad huvi nii juhuslikule külastajale kui ka neile, kes on huvitatud viktoriaanlikust, edwardiaegsest ja I maailmasõja järgsest keskklassi elamust. Alates 1875. aastast, kui Prinssi avenüü avati, varsti pärast Pearsoni pargi loomist pandi läänes asuva Chanterlandsi avenüü ja Prince'i avenüü vahele neli paralleelset teed, Marlborough, Westbourne, Park ja Victoria ning kaks põiktänavat, Richmond ja Salisbury. itta. Algne põllumajandusmaa jagati ehitamiseks nii, et see tekitas erineva stiiliga omadusi, kuigi üldiselt on läänepoolsed majad hilisemad kui idas asuvad majad. Purskkaevudega ringid olid eripära ja viimase paarikümne aasta jooksul on need taastatud - ehkki mitte täis purskkaevudena. Majadel olid varem malmist piirded: need eemaldati sõjategevuse eesmärgil, kuid neid ei kasutatud kunagi, kuna metall oli valet sorti! Nende sisestusavasid võib kohati näha, nagu ka originaalse reelingu paaritu tükki, kuigi need pole mitte fassaadil, vaid maja vahel. Aastaks 1910 olid Avenues sisuliselt praegusel kujul. Piirkonnas on palju huvitavaid maju, kuid suurimate seas on George Gilbert Scotti juuniori projekteeritud aastatel 1877–1879. Need asuvad Salisbury tänava lääneküljel Westbourne'i ja Park Avenue'i vahel. Võib näha ühte või kahte uuemat maja, mis on ehitatud kas II maailmasõja aegsete pommikahjustuste, vanade turuaedade, mänguväljakute või ühel juhul pagaritöökojale. Algusest peale on avenüü varandus olnud erinev. Rajooni säilimist on juhtinud Avenues and Pearson Park Residents Association (APPR). Juuli kahel esimesel pühapäeval on paljud aiad külastajatele avatud ja jõulude ajal valgustatakse paljusid aknaid advendikalendritena. The Avenues on mainitud Pevsneri ja Neave 1995. aasta raamatus, kuid selle piirkonna kohta on avaldatud ka erinevaid brošüüre. Aveniu kaitseala - elanikele praktilised juhised renoveerimise, planeerimise ja kujundamise kohta, 2007 ISBN nr 0-9541031-3-0, pakub huvi neile, kes on uudishimulikud kodumaise arhitektuuri vastu. Jalgsi Avenuele pääseb nende bussidega, mis sõidavad mööda Prince’i ja Chanterlandsi avenüüd. Need on saadaval Hull Paragoni vahetuspunktis. Piirkonnast ei liigu busse. Päeval võib maanteel parkimine olla saadaval, kuid öösel on kohti vähe.
- Kere pargid. Kolm neljast peamisest paigutati 1800ndate lõpus vastuseks viktoriaanlikule altruismile, et pakkuda elanikkonnale puhkamiseks avatud haljasalasid. Suuremaid parke on neli, kuid mitu väiksemat. Nagu paljud maailma pargid, ei pruugi ka nendes öösel hulkumine mõistlik olla.
- 26 East Park, ✉[email protected]. Aastatel 1885 ja 1886 tabas Hulli mõnda osa tööpuudus ja nälg ning East Parki osa paigutamisel tehti töötutele tööd. Parandatud oli umbes 120 aakri suur park. See asub Hulli idaosas Holderness Roadi ääres umbes 2 miili kaugusel kesklinnast ida poole ja sinna pääseb enamuse itta sõitvate bussidega. Selle uhkuseks on suur paadi- ja kalajärv, paviljon ja kohvik, aerulaua bassein, keeglirohi, jalgpalli- ja ragbiväljakud, jalutuskäik linnumajas, aiaga ümbritsetud hirvepark ja väiksem järv purjelaevade mudeliteks. Enamikul pühapäevadest võib harrastajaid seilata mitmesuguste erineva keerukusega mudelpaatidega, alustades pealveelaevadest kuni juhuslike allveelaevadeni. Suvekuudel töötab pritspaat koos vesirattapaatidega, mida saab rentida. Erinevate sissepääsude lähedal on kauplused ja pubid, mis pakuvad pargile häid mugavusi.
- 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.

- 30 [surnud link]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.
Sündmused
- 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.

- The 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.
- The University of Lincoln also has a presence within the city though its main activity is now in the City of Lincoln.
Osta
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. The southeast corner of the market hall has a square tower which can be seen in the photograph of Posterngate above (see Architecture section).
- The south and west market exits lead out to the main square which contains a row of cafes and eateries facing out onto the beautiful, historic square.
- Tessies (Trinity Market), Newland Avenue. An Aladdin's cave of vintage inspired fashion.
- 6 Walton Street Market. Occurs on Wednesday mornings down Walton Street on the site used by Hull Fair. There is good parking. The Walton Street Park and Ride service leaves from here (bus number 701). Good weather brings out more stalls. For sale --- vegetables, meat, clothes, carpets, toys, electrical goods, plants, flowers, tools, fishing equipment, jewellery—you name it its probably there. The central area is given over to ‘car booters’ with a plethora of merchandise. Very crowded just before Christmas. Try to bargain?.

Juua
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. A great urban mix of artists, professionals, students, fashionistas and winos rub shoulders here every night of the week.

Ole turvaline
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'i politsei, Humberside Police Headquarters, Priory Police Station, Priory Rd., ☏ 44 845 60 60 222 (non-emergency premium rate number).
