One Hull of a city

"To Hull hell and Halifax or so the poets say"/Good lord deliver us" is an old poem circa 1650 from what I have read but it was not always negative about Hull from what I have read but about how the two towns dealt with criminals.

Hull has often been the butt if many jokes over the years. Even from only Fools and Horses

I have done blogs on why Hull is great. Is this one any different ? not really I love Hull and enjoy blogging about this city's greatness.

Why is Hull one Hull of a city (Hell) ?

Like Hull or Hate us we have shaped the history of Britain in more ways than some city's how you may ask?
Simple Just for starters any of the following:

  1. We started the English Civil war 
  2. Helped Abolish Slavery 
  3. Lcd was invented in Hull 
  4. Many National/multinational companies founded in Hull 
Need any more ? 
OK 
  1. Home to aviation pioneer Amy Johnson 

Negatives 
A negative for Hull is sometimes said to be how the Humber and River Hull are muddy and brown yes it is true but Hull can not help this 
  1. The Humber drains 1/5 of  England 
  2. The river Hull flows thought the Wolds a Clay rich area
