Hull's hidden history part 2

As a city of 730 plus years of age Hull has a lot of history there are two problems a lot of it is either hidden or lost due to things like the Blitz (one example of lost history from the Blitz was the Hull municipal museum on Albion street )
See part one here 

The Next hidden thing :

Hull Medieval walls (with the two following exceptions all gone Beverley gate and a small section in East park)

You can still trace where the walls stood:
They ran from the River Hull to the Humber

• North walls behind Hull college still bears the walls name follow it  till it meets wilberforce drive now walk along the old docks (Queens Gardens, Prince's dock and Hull marina ) until you hit the Humber you have followed the path of the old walls (and talk time to admire wilberforce monument older than Nelson's column in London and said to be the inspiration Wilberforce monument once stood close to Beverley gate not that at that time it was dug out)
• The only physical remains of the walls is Beverley gate  near Prince's dock 
• The town's old city centre docks where the reason the walls where removed 
• It is worth noting that all the land at the Marina after the building the old ropery was in the medieval period in the Humber and was later reclaimed 
• so Techincal once you pass that point in the Medieval Hull you would have been swimming for example the land where the Cdi building is on was Hull Water gate
