Hull - Trinity Market

nobody@ipernity.com (Martin M. Miles) — Mon, 24 Mar 2025 17:50:22 +0000

Kingston upon Hull, usually shortened to Hull, is a port city. It lies upon the River Hull at its confluence with the Humber Estuary.

The town of Wyke on Hull was founded late in the 12th century by the Cistercian monks of Meaux Abbey as a port from which to export their wool. Hull was granted a charter and given its name in 1299 by King Edward I who needed a northern port to support his wars in Scotland. It had been a market town, trading centre, fishing and whaling centre.

In 1642, shortly before the start of the English Civil War, Hull's governor openly took sides with the parliamentary side and denied King Charles I access to the city and the militarily important arsenal. He was declared a traitor and executed despite being pardoned by Parliament.

Whaling played an important role for the city until the middle of the 19th century. Hull's prosperity extended into the decades before the First World War. The whaling industry, the most important branch of deep-sea fishing, continued to decline after WWII.

During WWII, heavy bombing destroyed the port, industrial facilities and much of the city centre. 95% of Hull's buildings were either damaged or destroyed, making Hull the second most heavily bombed major British city after London. Of a population of around 320,000 at the beginning of the war, 192,000 were left homeless by the heavy destruction.

Trinity Market was Hull’s second market hall, principally for fruit, flowers, and vegetables and opened in 1904. By 1928 it contained 74 stalls. In 1941 the first of these halls was destroyed by bombing. Trinity Market hall was then further extended in 1950 and 1958 by 1962 it contained 98 stalls!

The recent refurbishment of Trinity Indoor Market is central to the wider project of re-purposing the Old Town. Facilities have been upgraded . The reinvention of the food offer has created a hub of
modern street food.

The Trinity House was founded as a religious guild in 1369, and became a guild solely concerned with seamen and an authority in maritime affairs in 1456. Trinity House has occupied its present site continuously since c1457 when a guildhall, almshouses and a chapel were built. The present buildings are later in date. The main block was built in 1753; the Guild House in 1775; the offices in 1844 and the adjoining houses in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The church was called Holy Trinity Church until 2017 when the then Archbishop of York announced that the church would be given Minster status.

The transepts date from c. 1300–20, the choir is estimated at 1340–70, the nave 1380–1420 and the tower 1490–1520.

In 1906 it was discovered that the tower was in danger, resulting in emergency work to underpin the church with concrete and rebuild the nave piers.

The church was lucky to escape serious damage from the very heavy bombing that Hull endured.

The baptismal font, dating from around 1380, is richly decorated. William Wilberforce, who led the parliamentary campaign against the slave trade, was baptised here in 1759

Kingston upon Hull - Whittington & Cat

Whittington & Cat is a place where people can eat, drink and sleep.

Built in the 1830s, the original name of the tavern was The Whittington Inn, because of Dick Whittington and his cat. Dick Whittington and his cat is the English folklore surrounding the real–life Richard Whittington, a wealthy merchant. The story goes he visited areas renting out his cat to cull the rising rat populations.

The English version of the french dish "steak frites".

To the rear of the present Punch Hotelis the site of the original Punch of circa 1845. The original Punch Hotel, was built fronting Waterhouse Lane, a section which is now lost beneath the entrance to the Princes Quay shopping complex.

The re-development of the area at the end of the 19th Century, gave an opportunity to present the Punch in a more prominent position. In 1894-95 the old Punch was demolished, and rebuilt in its present form facing the new square. The new pub opened in 1896.

In 1898, the new frontage was criticised for scaring horses riding into the city. In a letter to the Hull Daily Mail, the author said the new figure of Punch, on the front of the hotel had caused the horses to rear up in terror at the statue.
