East Yorkshire
England
A city of History and a city with a bright future
At 730 plus years old Hull has a long history, while not as long as say Yorkshire neighbour York at nearly 2000 years but still as a city Hull is older than many country like the United states or Germany. And as you can imagine in all them long years the city has a story to tell
Weather its :
- How we shut a king out and sparked the English Civil war ( Beverley gate)
- Our role in Ending the Slave trade Mp William Wilberforce
- How we where heavily bombed in the Blitz ( the over looked and forgotten city of ww2 in the UK by area we where the second most bombed city after London and suffered both the first daylight raid of the war @ Salts end Chemical plant to the last raid the claimed lives, at a cinema Boyes holderness road story stands on the site , ) ( or the last remaining civilian bomb site in the UK form ww2 )
- Or as a trade port for 700 + years the UK the Uk first enclosed dock ( now Queens gardens park )
These are just a few examples of Hull Wide and varied past
