GUEST Schenectady loving Mohawk scholar.....In answer to your post.
Hull is at the confluence of two great rivers one of which is the famous Trent, which runs from near Stoke on Trent to Hull and the North Sea.
It also has a train station.
It also has a canal.
It is murder there every Friday and Saturday night.
It has substantially less drunken students than Leeds.
It doesn't have any stupidly named suburbs like "Neverland"
From the Town centre to the middle of the North Sea is only a few minutes drive and a half hour sail towards Zeegbrugge. It is also only one hour away from Robin Hoods Sherwood Forest.
Sir jOhn( Who is an asset to the town) DOES live there.
Though it may sink into the North Sea, its people and style will live on!
Thankfully, Martin Gibson lives nearer you!
Furthermore, Scarborough, a most beautiful beach resort is in easy driving distance.
There are more Folk Clubs than one can think of to name.
The people are REAL.

Perhaps you would like to add to your previous list and get back to us.
Best wishes.
