We've ventured across the border once, & intend to go again 'cos there looks like there's loads & loads of good pubs. So we want to do a Hull pub crawl, any suggestions gratefully received.

I went with a mate to watch H K R play in 1960
The most memorable thing was that they won.

I have been to Cottingham (live) does that count?
However, if you havent been to Hull you had better go quickly,
judging by the rate of coastal erosion it wont be there long.

I was born there .( don't live there now). At school we where tought to be very proud of one of Hull's famous son's, William Wilberforce who was a leading light in the abolition of slavery. There is a very good museum showing much of the injustices of slavery. The airwoman Amy Johnson was also from Hull.

Oh dear , two jags deputy primeminister is MP for Hull!!

I have to say to my shame **BG** I have been there
9and found the "Land of Green Ginger" which was NOT interesting.0

Most interesting thing - apart from the M62 (Westbound)? Well the barrier on the Hull River was intriguing - like a guillotine - to keep the North sea nad the Humber out of the hinterland then ther is the lifeboat perched about 50 feet up in the air and presumeably lanched by lowering the jib so that it can reach the water at all tide heights.

There at Uni 1980-83. Have Aunt in Willerby and came up for the Peoples Voice Folk Festival in Beverley this year (great weekend) and the Maritime Festival too. Singing sea shanties in the Minerva, looking out of the open doors to see ships sailing down the estuary was wonderful - hope to repeat the experience next year. I like a lot of the Architecture in Hull, and the wonderful character filled old high-ceilinged pubs. Also like the 'Queen Victoria' toilets :-)

We were there for the Maritime Festival earlier this year - nice waterfront. Most interesting thing? Discovering that Lord Nelson was Miss Whip when at home ...... Most memorable? Singing with Johnny Collins outside the Minerva on Sunday morning. Great weekend, guys.
