Kingston ob Hulluali samo Trup kot se običajno imenuje, je mesto s 260.000 prebivalci (2019) v Yorkshire na severnem bregu izliva Humber. To je mesto zgodovinskih stavb in močnih povezav s pomembnimi angleškimi pesniki in Williamom Wilberforceom, ki je imel vodilno vlogo pri odpravi suženjstva v Britanskem imperiju.

Zgodnja zgodovina
Naselje Myton, čeprav ni navedeno v knjigi Domesday iz leta 1086, je obstajalo ob sotočju reke Hull in Humber v 11. stoletju. V poznem 12. stoletju so menihi bližnje opatije Meaux ustvarili novo mesto Wyke iz skandinavskega potoka (tj. Rečnega trupa). Mesto Wyke je kasneje postalo Hull. Imena Myton in Wyke ostajata kot politični oddelki mesta.
Ko je rečni trup ponudil pristanišče za uvoz in izvoz blaga, izliv Humber pa je bil povezan z drugimi večjimi rekami, se je mesto Wyke ob Hullu ustanovilo in uspevalo. Ta položaj je mesto opozoril na kralja Edwarda I, ki je 1. aprila 1299 obiskal in na koncu podelil Kydestonu (ali King's Townu) Hulu kraljevo listino. Položaj glavnih cest v mesto in iz njega je rezultat Edwardovega vključenost. Zanimanje različnih kraljev, vključno s Henryjem VIII, je vplivalo na to, kaj lahko obiskovalec z malo razumevanja vidi med obiskom mesta. Pomembnost Hull-a kot pristanišča in v zgodnjih letih kot arzenala, ki je bil nekoč drugi le za londonskim arzenalom, je leta 1327 sprožil obzidje z zidovi in stolpi, blokovnice na vzhodnem bregu reke Hull leta 1542 in citadelo , spet na vzhodnem bregu, leta 1681. Čeprav je vse to že zdavnaj, še vedno lahko cenimo njihov odtis na starem mestnem jedru skupaj z naslednjimi doki.
Sodobna zgodovina
20. stoletje je bilo na nek način najbolj nespremenljivo obdobje v dolgi, dolgi zgodovini tega velikega pomorskega mesta. Od vrhunca blaginje na začetku devetdesetih let 20. stoletja, z industrijsko in trgovsko močjo, ki ga je postavila na raven skoraj vseh drugih mest v deželi, se je v zadnjem desetletju stoletja njegove litanije zgodb o hudi sreči kruto zarotila, Trup v nacionalno zaznano senco svojega nekdanjega jaza. Zadnjih sto let pa je bilo žalostno poglavje v epski zgodbi in ob rojstvu novega stoletja je kraj, ki ga je Larkin imenoval "osamljena severna hči", spet čudežno oživil in zastavil svojo zahtevo za blaginjo in spoštovanje. .
V mesto se usmerja veliko naložb, ki jih spodbuja velik uspeh The Deep-a kot osrednje glavne atrakcije za obiskovalce, popestritve starega mestnega jedra in novih maloprodajnih ponudb. Obraz Hulla je bil skoraj neprepoznavno spremenjen s prenovo Ferenswaya in gradnjo Centra St Stephen's, nakupovalnega središča z vrhunskimi verigami, sodobnega hotela, stavbe gledališča Hull Truck Theatre in glasbenega učnega centra za mlade . Hun Paragon Interchange ima novo avtobusno postajo in prenovljeno železniško postajo. Načrtovana je nova brv čez reko Hull.
Vsakdo, ki je mesto izkusil iz prve roke, brez kakršnih koli vnaprejšnjih idej ali pristranskosti, vam bo povedal, da je Hull edinstven. Ni več osamljena, saj so prometne povezave s preostalo državo več kot ustrezne. Sto sto let ni bilo tako, rezultat pa je res enkraten. Kraj ima pristno kulturno identiteto in svoj značaj. Odraža se v naglasu (izgovorite "oh no" kot "er ner" in imeli boste idejo), humorju, samozavestju in duhu svojih ljudi. Barvna (včasih presenetljiva), a vedno fascinantna urbana tkanina in zgodovina sta pomembna znamenja.
Ravna pokrajina in nizke, a pogosto dih jemajoče zgodovinske zgradbe dajejo občutek, da obstaja ogromno ozadje neba, in v kombinaciji s pogledom na zajetno, mračno, mogočno prostranstvo izliva Humber od točke, na kateri se steka z rečni trup, postane očitno, da je na lokaciji nekaj posebnega.
Hull ima poleg poezije svojega dogajanja strašno povezavo z nekaterimi najvplivnejšimi pesniki v angleški literaturi. Andrew Marvell je bil med drugim krščen v cerkvi Svete Trojice in je obiskoval staro gimnazijo. V Coventryju rojeni pesnik in knjižničar Univerze v Hullu Philip Larkin je večino svojega življenja živel v parku 32 Pearson, Stevie Smith pa se je rodil v Hullu. Leta 2010 je Hull praznoval Larkinovo življenje in verze z dogodki Larkin25, vključno z branjem poezije, turistično potjo Larkin in kiparsko potjo "Kuga krastač", ki opozarja na Larkinovo pesem "Žabe". Tega leta so na izmenjavi Paragon odkrili Larkinov kip.
Mesto se je označilo za "pionirsko mesto", to trditev pa podpira tudi seznam številnih prvih, ki izvirajo iz Humbersidea. Tehnologijo zaslona s tekočimi kristali (LCD) so na primer odkrili in dodelali na univerzi v Hullu konec šestdesetih let. Mesto je tudi britansko vodilno podjetje na področju razvoja širokopasovne in telekomunikacijske tehnologije.
Največji sin Kingston-Upon-Hull-a William Wilberforce je imel vodilno vlogo pri ukinitvi britanske trgovine s sužnji, ki je spremenila obraz svetovne zgodovine.
Hull je prejel naziv UK City of Culture 2017.

Vstopi
Z letalom
To je skrajna stran države, a letališče Manchester (ČLOVEK IATA) je pogosto najprimernejši, saj ima globalne povezave in konkurenčne cene. Iz letališča je na uro menjava železniške postaje, ki prevozi v Leeds za Hull, traja 2 uri 30 minut.
Nasprotno pa letališče Humberside (HUY IATA) je oddaljen le 20 milj od Hull-a preko mostu Humber, vendar je na dan le nekaj letov do Aberdeena in Amsterdama ter počitniških čarterjev do Sredozemlja. Avtobus X1 vozi vsako uro med Hullom in letališčem in traja 30 minut.
Letališče Doncaster Sheffield (Robin Hood) DSA IATA je 60 milj zahodno preko M180. Wizz leti na Poljsko, Litvo in Romunijo ter med počitniškimi destinacijami Med največjih prevoznikov paketov. Prvi avtobus South Yorkshire X4 med letališčem in železniško in avtobusno postajo Doncaster Frenchgate Interchange traja 25 minut. Avtobusi vozijo do letališča vsakih 30 min M-Sa od 5.30 do 23.30, vsako uro ob nedeljah, zadnji avtobus pa se vrne v mesto ob polnoči.
Letališče Leeds Bradford (LBA IATA) ima boljše evropske povezave kot Robin Hood, vendar nima železniške ali avtocestne povezave. Z letališkim avtobusom se odpeljite v Leeds za neposreden avtobus ali vlak do Hull-a.
Od leta 2020 je v Veliki Britaniji manj domačih letov kot običajno. Eastern Airways še naprej leti.
Z vlakom

Z avtom
Mesto je na vzhodnem koncu M62 (ki se kmalu pred Hullom spremeni v A63), do njega pa je enostavno dostopati iz ostalega omrežja avtocest v Združenem kraljestvu. Ima dober dostop iz Lincolnshire in na jug preko A15 in mostu Humber, do njega pa lahko pride A1079 iz Yorka in s severa.
Z avtobusom
Obstaja storitev parkiranja in vožnje na voljo na obrobju mesta (Priory Park.)

Moj čoln
P&O trajekti pluti čez noč iz Rotterdam na Nizozemskem in Zeebrugge v Belgiji traja 12 ur. P&O so napovedali, da bo pot do Zeebruggeja prenehala; datum ni naveden, verjetno pa konec leta 2020. Rotterdamski trajekt se nadaljuje, saj je potreben več tovora in je manj odvisen od turistične trgovine.
2 Trajektni terminal v trupu je 4 km vzhodno od središča mesta vzdolž ceste Hedon. Povezovalni avtobus do terminala je osvobojen, vendar avtobusi 76, 77, 78 in 79 pogosto vozijo po cesti Hedon. Ali pa si vzemite taksi.

Z avtobusom
Avtobusna postaja v središču mesta Hull skupaj s sosednjo železniško postajo Paragon tvori Izmenjava trupa paragona. Glavni vhodi / izhodi za postajo so na Ferenswayu, v neposredni bližini nove nakupovalne ulice St Stephens na severu in osrednjega jedra mesta na vzhodu. Črne kabine uporabljajo sprednji del (Ferenswayjeva stran) izmenjave. Zasebni avtomobili, ki se spustijo in poberejo potnike, lahko vstopijo s ceste Anlably. Za to ni treba plačati parkirnine, je pa le nekaj prostorov in čakalna doba je omejena. Tu je veliko parkirišče za plačilo in bivanje.
Avtobusne prevoze v Hullu opravlja East Yorkshire Motor Services in Kočijaž. Kot pri večini lokalnih prevoznih storitev v Združenem kraljestvu zunaj Londona tudi vozovnice in vozovnice za avtobusne storitve niso povezane pri operaterjih, zato morate za vsak avtobus, s katerim se vozite, plačati posebej. Vozovnice kupi voznik, ko se vkrcate na avtobus. Vse informacije o avtobusnih linijah, urah itd. Lahko dobite na informativnih tablah za potnike v Potovalnem centru na postaji, lahko pa jih tudi prenesete s spletnega mesta spletna stran mestnega sveta. Avtobusi prihajajo in gredo iz avle na severni strani križišča, kjer je nekaj majhnih trgovin, v katerih je mogoče kupiti prigrizke. Na vsaki avtobusni postaji je nekaj sedežev, več pa na zahodnem koncu dvorane. Kovinski sedeži so pozimi hladni! Če potujete z lokalnim avtobusom do križišča, da ujamete vlak, pustite dovolj časa. Medtem ko so avtobusi precej pogosti, vozni redi na avtobusnih postajališčih po mestu morda niso točni, ker se promet zadržuje na poti.
Z avtom
Središče Hull-a je kompaktno in čeprav obstajajo parkirišča, je malo smisla poskušati dejansko priti skozi središče mesta z avtomobilom, saj so razdalje kratke in parkiranje na cesti je lahko problematično. Nekatera podjetja imajo morda določeno parkirišče za stranke ali obiskovalce. Premikanje z avtomobilom izven središča mesta je lažje.
S kolesom
Hull je eno najboljših mest za kolesarjenje v Veliki Britaniji, z obsežnimi kolesarskimi potmi, vključno z nekaterimi off road poti. Tu se zbližata tudi nacionalni poti 65 in 66.
Peš
Središče mesta je dokaj kompaktno in večinoma namenjeno pešcem, kar ustvarja razmeroma lahkoten sprehod po mestu. Vendar je treba biti previden pri prehodu z južne strani starega mestnega jedra proti območju marine, saj pot preseka Grajska ulica - široko in zelo prometno dvojno vozišče.
Dostop za invalide
Hull ima dve shemi za pomoč invalidnim ljudem, da se po mestu lahko nakupujejo in poslujejo. Organizacije imajo vzajemne sporazume, tako da članstvo pokriva obe. To je odličen način za invalide, da se odpravijo po mestu, ne da bi morali v mesto prinesti lastno opremo.

Glej
Čeprav je bil Hull med drugo svetovno vojno med najbolj bombardiranimi britanskimi mesti, mu je 700 let od podelitve prve listine prineslo fascinantno bogastvo arhitekturnih draguljev. Od flamskih fasad navdihnjenih do čudovitih kupolastih civilnih zgradb. Od pristaniških pisarn do impozantnih skladišč in mlinov industrijske dediščine. Od srednjeveškega tlakovanega šarma starega mestnega jedra, velikih zasebnih trgovskih hiš in gruzijskih teras do sodobnega dizajna.
- 1 Charterhouse, ☏ 44 1482 329307 (Mojster), 44 1482 320026 (Matrona). Charterhouse je nato odprt za javnost enkrat letno, med Hull's Heritage Weekendom, in vsako nedeljo je v kapeli služba od 10. do 11. ure, ki se je lahko udeleži javnost.. Hotel Charter House se nahaja na precej neugodnem območju mesta in leži na majhnem ohranjenem območju. Bogati trgovec in prvi župan Hulla, sir William de la Pole, je leta 1350 tukaj ustanovil Priorat kartuzijskih menihov z nadaljnjim namenom ustanovitve bolnišnice. "Bolnišnico Gods House" je sčasoma ustanovil njegov sin, listina pa je bila podeljena leta 1384, ko je bil imenovan prvi mojster. V njem je bilo 13 revnih moških in 13 revnih žensk, obkroženo pa je bilo s polji, po katerih je tekel rečni trup. Institucija je uspevala od dohodka iz svojih dežel. To je pritegnilo pozornost Henrika VIII., Ki je leta 1536 zaprl Priorat in menihov izgnal. Bolnišnica pa je ostala in sčasoma dobila ime Charterhouse. To ime je pokvarjeno Chartreuse v Franciji, od koder izvira redovniški red. Ker Hull leta 1642 ni hotel sprejeti Karla I. in se je začela angleška državljanska vojna, je mesto postalo tarča rojalistov, Charterhouse pa je bil zunaj mestnega obzidja porušen, da bi lahko tam postavili pištolo za obrambo mesta. . Leta 1649 se je mojster s svojo čredo vrnil na kraj in Charterhouse je bil obnovljen. Vendar so zaradi zanemarjanja in propadanja leta 1777 porušili to stavbo in zgradili tretjo, edini preostali del prvotnega samostana pa je bil kamen nad vrati Gospodarske hiše. Toda prihajalo je še več in čeprav je Charterhouse preživel drugo svetovno vojno, je blisk, ki ga je Hull utrpel, povzročil veliko škode na njegovih stavbah. Od njene obnove in širitve z izboljšanimi bivalnimi prostori ljudje zdaj tam ne živijo več de la Poles "ubogi in razpadli ljudje", ampak plačujejo za njihovo nastanitev in se imenujejo prebivalci. Kar je znano kot Charter House, sestavljajo Gospodarska hiša in obzidan vrt, kjer naj bi se Andrew Marvell igral pod murvo in na severni strani ceste Old House, ki vsebuje lepo kapelo s stropom Adams.
Trg kraljice Viktorije
Središče Hulla, od koder sevajo vse široke nakupovalne ulice s konca 19. in začetka 20. stoletja. V svojem srcu stoji kraljica Viktorija, obkrožena z veličastnimi kupolami Pomorskega muzeja in Mestne hiše.
- 2 Umetnostna galerija Ferens. Stalna zbirka kipov in slik od srednjeveške do danes in redni program začasnih razstav z vsega sveta.

Vključuje mojstrovine Fransa Halsa, Antonia Canaletta, Stanleyja Spencerja, Davida Hockneyja, Helen Chadwick in Gillian Wearing. V pritličju galerije je prijetna kavarna z zunanjim delom s pogledom na del Princeovega pristanišča. Vsako leto od februarja do aprila gosti „odprto razstavo“, na katero lahko amaterji in profesionalni umetniki za skromno plačilo predložijo svoja dela v prodajo ali jih samo razstavijo. prost.
- 3 Pomorski muzej. Prej muzej lova na kitove in je bil v originalnih pristaniščih za Prince's Dock in Queen's Dock (danes Queen's Gardens). To je ogromen, zabaven staromoden muzej, posvečen slavnemu Hulovemu osvajanju odprtega morja in pogosto tragičnim žrtvam. Elegantno stopnišče se dviga iz predprostora in na njem so razstave, ki zanimajo vse starosti, od okostja kita do modelov ladij do razlag o ribolovnih metodah. Od oktobra 2020 je muzej zaprt zaradi prenove. prost.
- 4 Mestna hiša Hull. Mestna hiša, dokončana leta 1903, ki jo je zasnoval Frank Matcham, je do neke mere kljubovala popolnemu uničenju Luftwaffeja. Ko je bila leta 1950 končno odpravljena bombna škoda leta 1941, se je z zeleno bakreno streho spet pojavila kot ena izmed najbolj priljubljenih struktur v mestu. Okoli zgornjega zahodnega konca stavbe je friz v spomin na znane glasbene skladatelje. Kupola prejšnje mestne hiše, ki jo je leta 1866 zgradil Cuthbert Brodrick, leži na zahodni strani parka Pearson. Mestna hiša zdaj redno gosti rock, pop in klasične koncerte ter komične prireditve. Levo od vhoda je blagajna za prireditve v mestu, desno pa Turistična informacijska pisarna.
Queen's Gardens
- 5 Queen's Gardens. Odprt leta 1930 in zgrajen na vrhu starega pristanišča Queen's Dock. Pristanišče je bilo zgrajeno v poznih 1700-ih in je bilo na 10 hektarjih največje pristanišče v Angliji. Vendar pa je bil šele leta 1854 imenovan Queen's Dock po kraljici Viktoriji. V stenah in zgradbah, ki obkrožajo vrtove, še vedno lahko vidite prvotno obliko pristanišča. Nekatere stavbe na južni strani so stara skladišča doka. Na vzhodnem koncu stoji spomenik Wilberforce, na zahodu pa stari pristaniški uradi, zdaj Pomorski muzej. Vrtovi so potopljeni in vsebujejo gredice, sedežne garniture in veliko travnato površino.
- 6 Guildhall, ☏ 44 1482 613902 (Kustos Guildhall). Poteka ob južni strani Queen's Gardens in na južni strani ter na ulici Alfred Gelder na južni strani.

Guildhall je velika plošča državljanskega ponosa, blaginje in samozavesti v začetku 20. stoletja. Na zahodnem koncu stoji skulptura, ki simbolizira "Pomorsko moč" na vrhu okrašene neoklasicistične zasnove, na vzhodnem koncu pa stolp z uro. Od leta 1991 je bila tapiserija trupa dokončana 15 let, na 19 panelih pa so prikazani pomembni vidiki zgodovine in razvoja mesta. Tapiserijo si lahko ogledate (brezplačno) od ponedeljka do četrtka od 8.30 do 16.30 in v petek od 8.30 do 30.30. Za ogled vprašajte na recepciji Guildhalla. Ogledi Guildhall so na voljo tudi brezplačno, vendar jih je treba rezervirati vnaprej.
- 7 Spominski oder Micka Ronsona. Glavni poudarek na načrtovanih dogodkih v poletnih mesecih. Kitar, ki je bil zgrajen po prezgodnji smrti zaradi raka Micka Ronsona, je v začetku sedemdesetih let skupaj s še dvema Hullensianima ustanovil skupino Davida Bowieja Spiders from Mars in nadaljeval z uspehom med Bob Dylanom, Eltonom Johnom, Lou Reedom in Morrisseyjem . Oder je gostil nepozaben govor mestnega nadškofa Desmonda Tutuja leta 1997. Za odrom je plošča v spomin na izmišljeni značaj Robinson Crusoe, ki je iz Hula izplul v znamenitem istoimenskem romanu Daniela Defoeja. Ta knjiga je bila - kot so trdili - prvi roman v angleškem jeziku leta 1719.
Trinity Quarter
Ustvarjen na mestu starega tržnega trga pred cerkvijo Svete Trojice in v veliki viktorijanski Arcade Hepworths Arcade je to glavni dom v središču mesta za vintage oblačila, neodvisne prodajalne plošč in alternativne prodajalne. Trg je imel koristi od občutljive restavracije, vključno s sedeži in javno umetnostjo, pa tudi z veliko izbiro majhnih kavarn z zunanjimi površinami, ki so pomemben kraj za ogled znamenitosti.
- 8 Trojice. Velika kremasta stavba - zaseda območje na vogalu Trinity House Lane in Postern Gate. V 14. stoletju je tu stal karmelski samostan. Trinity House je mesto prevzel v 16. stoletju. Trinity House se je začel kot ceh, ki je skrbel za mornarje in njihove družine, da bi nadziral gibanje ladij v Humberju. Današnja fasada je iz leta 1753, še posebej pa je okrašen pediment na vzhodni strani z levom, samorogom, Britannijo in Neptunom.
- 9 Minister za trup. Je največja župnijska cerkev v Angliji, vendar je kot del impozantne srednjeveške cerkvene arhitekture bolj podobna katedrali. Najstarejši deli segajo v c. 1300 in 150 metrov visok stolp vsebuje obroč iz 15 zvonov.
- 10 Kip Andrewa Marvella (stoji na podstavku na Trinity Trgu). (1621-1678), pesnik in poslanec za Hull. Rodil se je v kraju Winestead-in-Holderness, tik pred Hullom, in se preselil v mesto, ko je njegov oče zavzel mesto predavatelja v cerkvi sv. Vzgojen je bil v Charter House, kjer je bil njegov oče gospodar, in vrt, v katerem je igral, je še vedno tam. Za njegovim kipom je Stara gimnazija, ki jo je obiskoval.
- 11 Stara gimnazija (Zgodovinski muzej), S Cerkvena stran, ☏ 44 1482 613902. To je ena najstarejših gimnazij v Angliji iz 16. stoletja in je delovala do leta 1873. Od leta 1884 do 1915 je bila zborovska šola za cerkev Svete Trojice. Med številnimi znanimi preteklimi učenjaki sta bila Andrew Marvell in William Wilberforce. Leta 1988 je postala Zgodovinski muzej ki se osredotoča na zgodovino Hulla in njegovih prebivalcev, v učilnici poustvarja viktorijansko otroštvo in vsebuje pristno egipčansko mumijo. Otrokom prijazno. prost.
- 12 Skladišče volne. S svojo kartušo nad vrati tehtanega jagnjeta stoji na vzhodni strani Stare gimnazije. Ta stavba je bila nekoč dom Hull's Volna Exchange in priča o zgodnjem pomenu Hull-a v tej trgovini. Izvoz volne so v srednjem veku sprožili menihi na tem območju, različne zapuščene srednjeveške vasi Wolds (dežele s kredo severno od Hulla) pa naj bi bile rezultat zgodnje širitve trgovine z volno.
- 13 Prince Street. Lok, ki vodi do ulice Prince, je na zahodni strani trga. Ta zavita gruzijska ulica vodi do Dagger Lane. Princ, po katerem je dobila ime, je bil bodoči kralj George IV.
- 14 Trgovsko skladišče. Na vogalu King Street in Robson Row, ki leži na jugozahodnem vogalu trga. Nekoč pisarne različnih trgovcev so zdaj stanovanja. Ta velika opečnata stavba je opomnik, da Hull v bližini nima naravnega gradbenega kamna, zato je bilo veliko zgodnjih stavb iz opeke.
Muzejska četrt in High Street
To območje poteka ob reki Hull in je bilo glavna ulica v središču srednjeveškega starega mestnega jedra.

Princes Quay in Whitefriargate
Whitefriargate je prometnica, ki povezuje staro in novo mesto, in je že stoletja glavna nakupovalna ulica. Po upadu, ki ga je povzročil pojav novih nakupovalnih središč, obstaja načrt, da ulica privabi kavarne, bare in galerije.
- 1 Princes Quay. Nakupovalni center, zgrajen na kolih nad pomolom. Dom velikega kina Vue - ki je bil v času odprtja - prvega popolnoma digitalnega kina v Evropi. Futuristični stekleni drobci središča so presenetljivo dobro datirani, sprehod po dolgem, lahkem in zračnem vhodu s trga kraljice Viktorije in nad vodo pa je vznemirljiva izkušnja, ki bi jo lahko zahtevali od nakupovalnega potovanja v središču mesta.
- 18 Beverley Gate, 35 Whitefriargate. Na koncu Trga kraljice Viktorije Whitefriargate izkopana luknja z majhnim amfiteatrom in opečno steno označuje srednjeveška vrata Beverley. Ta je pripadal prvotnim mestnim obzidjem in tam je bil kralju Karlu I. v 17. stoletju zavrnjen vstop v Hull - prvo vojaško dejanje angleške državljanske vojne.
- 19 Dežela zelenega ingverja. Ozka ulica, ki povezuje križišče Whitefriargate in Srebrna ulica z južnim koncem Ljubljane Dvorec Street. Ime je bilo uporabljeno v mnogih leposlovnih delih, vendar njegov izvor ni jasen. Menili so, da je nastal zaradi obstoja bližnjega srednjeveškega trga začimb, vendar je verjetno zaradi sina nizozemske trgovske družine z imenom "Lindegroen", ki je verjetno ustanovil svoje podjetje na tem območju in je zato najverjetneje angleška korupcija "Lindegroen Jonger" (Lindegroen Junior.) Najmanjše okno v Angliji je v hotelu George v deželi zelenih ingverjev.
- 20 Parlamentarna ulica. odpelje Whitefriargate približno na pol poti navzdol. To je dom številnih poklicnih praks v središču mesta, kar se kaže v njegovi izvrstni gruzijski arhitekturi. Zgrajena je bila za dostop do mestnega pristanišča, ki je zdaj Queens Gardens.
Marina in okoli
- 21 Marina v trupu. Razvit iz starega zapuščenega pristanišča Humber v zgodnjih osemdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja ponuja prostor za 270 jaht in manjših jadralnih plovil v stalnih in gostujočih privezih. Območje je prijeten sprehod z nekaj odličnimi kavarnami in starimi pubi in vsako leto gosti Sea Fever Shanty Festival.
- 22 Spurn Lightship (V enem od stalnih privezov). Zgrajena leta 1927, je 48 let služila kot navigacijski pripomoček na pristopih izliva Humber. prost.
- Kot glavno poslovno okrožje mestnega središča je območje na zahodu znano kot Humber Quays je namenjena velikemu pisarniškemu in stanovanjskemu razvoju, skupaj s Hull in Humber Svetovno trgovinsko središče, stavba HQ2 in apartmaji Freedom Quay, skupaj z visokokakovostnim urejanjem okolice do reke, ki je bila zaključena kot 1. faza.
- 23 Globoko. Ogromen in spektakularen akvarij s pogledom na izliv Humberja. Zgrajen je bil kot glavni projekt tisočletja Hull in je presegel vsa pričakovanja, da bo postal izjemno uspešna turistična destinacija in po številu obiskovalcev uvrščen le v projekt Eden v Cornwallu.
Izven centra mesta
- 24 Humberjev most (Barton na Humberju). Območje Humber je bil najdaljši viseči most z enim razponom na svetu, ko je bil dokončan leta 1981.
- 25 Avenije. Ohranitveno območje, katerega raznolika arhitektura hiš in ulični načrt bosta zanimiva naključnim obiskovalcem in tistim, ki jih zanimajo viktorijanska, edvardijska in stanovanjska stanovanja srednjega razreda po prvi svetovni vojni. Od leta 1875, ko je bila odprta Prince's Avenue in kmalu po ustanovitvi Pearson Parka, so bile med vzhodno avenijo Chanterlands in Avenue Prince postavljene štiri vzporedne avenije, Marlborough, Westbourne, Park in Victoria ter dve križišči, Richmond in Salisbury. na vzhodu. Prvotna kmetijska zemljišča so bila razdeljena za gradbene namene na tak način, da so nastajali nizi z različnimi slogi, čeprav so na splošno zahodne hiše poznejšega časa kot tiste na vzhodu. Krogi z vodnjaki so bili značilnost in v zadnjih nekaj desetletjih so bili obnovljeni - čeprav ne kot polni vodnjaki. Hiše so imele ograje iz litega železa: odstranjene so bile zaradi "vojnih prizadevanj", vendar nikoli niso bile uporabljene, kovina pa je bila napačne vrste! Njihove luknje za vstavljanje je še vedno mogoče videti ponekod, pa tudi nenavaden kos originalne ograje, čeprav ti niso vzdolž pročelja, temveč med hišami. Do leta 1910 je bil Avengers v bistvu v sedanji obliki. Na tem območju je veliko zanimivih hiš, med največjimi pa so tiste, ki jih je zasnoval George Gilbert Scott junior, zgrajene med letoma 1877 in 1879. Te je mogoče najti ob zahodni strani ulice Salisbury med Westbournom in Park Avenue. Videti je mogoče eno ali dve novejši hiši, ki sta bili zgrajeni bodisi zaradi poškodb bomb iz 2. svetovne vojne, starih tržnih vrtov, igrišč ali v enem primeru pekarne. Od svojega začetka se je bogastvo Avenije spreminjalo. Združenje prebivalcev avenije in parka Pearson (APPR) je vodilo ohranitev okrožja. Prvi dve julijski nedelji so številni vrtovi odprti za obiskovalce, na božič pa so številna okna osvetljena kot "adventni koledarji". Avenije so omenjene v knjigi Pevsnerja in Neave iz leta 1995, vendar so o tem območju izdali tudi različne knjižice. Območje ohranjanja avenije - praktična navodila za obnovo, načrtovanje in oblikovanje, 2007 ISBN št. 0-9541031-3-0, bo zanimiva za tiste, ki jih zanima domača arhitektura. Peš do avenije lahko pridete z avtobusi, ki vozijo po aveniji Prince's in Chanterlands. Ti so na voljo pri izmenjavi trupov Paragon. Skozi območje ne vozi noben avtobus. Čez dan je na voljo parkiranje na cesti, ponoči pa je mest običajno malo.
- Parki trupa. Trije od štirih glavnih so bili postavljeni konec 19. stoletja kot odgovor na viktorijanski altruizem, da bi prebivalstvu zagotovili odprte zelene površine za rekreacijo. Obstajajo štirje večji parki, vendar več manjših. Tako kot številni parki na svetu tudi nočno potepanje po njih morda ni preudarno.
- 26 Vzhodni park, ✉[email protected]. V letih 1885 in 1886 sta brezposelnost in lakota zajeli nekaj delov Hull-a, nekaj dela pa je bilo zagotovljeno za brezposelne pri urejanju dela East Parka. Obnovljen je bil velik park, velik približno 120 hektarjev. Nahaja se na vzhodu Hull-a ob Holderness Road, približno 2 km vzhodno od središča mesta in je dostopen z večino avtobusov, ki vozijo proti vzhodu. Ponaša se z velikim čolnarskim in ribiškim jezerom, paviljonom in kavarno, bazenom za veslanje, kegljišči, igrišči za nogomet in ragbi, sprehodom po ptičji votlini, ograjenim jelenskim parkom in manjšim jezerom za jadralne makete čolnov. Navdušence lahko v večini nedelj jadrajo različni vzorni čolni različnih zahtevnosti, od površinskih plovil do občasnih podmornic. V poletnih mesecih deluje čoln, skupaj s pedalini, ki jih je mogoče najeti. There are shops and pubs near the various entrances which provide the park with good amenities.
- 27 Zahodni 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 [mrtva povezava]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.

- 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.
Nauči se
- 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.

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?.

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.

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.
