In Hull, the Polar Bear, and the Eagle (now Tap and Spile) on Spring Bank both allegedly refer to residents of the Zoological gardens. The original Botanic Gardens are now Hymers college grounds, but left their name in the Bottanic pub, Botanic Gardens (formerly Cemetery Gates) railway station and BG Locomotive depot. |
