Hull Port

Hull in detail

Officially known as Kingston upon Hull, this port city lying between the Hull and Humber rivers, was given its first charter by Edward I in 1299. Hull's old town retains its medieval pattern and some buildings going back to the 18th century and before. In the High Street is Wilberforce House (now a museum), birthplace in 1759 of the anti slavery campaigner, William Wilberforce and in the centre is Holy Trinity Church, England's oldest parish church dating from the 14th century. Reclamation of the old docks is providing the city with parks, marinas and a Maritime Museum.Near to the city is the Humber Bridge - it has the longest single span in the world. Also worth a look is Beverley with its ecclesiastical architecture in the splendid 13th century Gothic Minster and the 14th century St Mary's church. Burton Constable Hall and Park lies to the northeast of the city and to the northwest is Skidby Windmill - a 19th century working mill.
