Kingston Upon Hull is usually abbreviated to just Hull and is a port city in East Yorkshire, close to the Humber Bridge, Bridlington, Goole and Grimsby.
We take a walk from the Premier Inn hotel building near The Deep along through Hull Old Town, down Scale Lane and Silver Street. We then continue our Hull tour down Friargate and Whitefriargate until we reach the Beverley Gate and Princes Quay.
From here we head across to Queen Victoria Square and the new Hull Maritime Museum and then down Jameson Street until we reach Hull Railway Station.
In 2017 Hull was given the prestigious 'City Of Culture' award by the department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
I really enjoyed filming this one. I feel Hull has so much to offer but didn't really have enough time to spend there to discover it so I will definitely be back!
Hull is a popular University city and you will often hear how great life is here as a student, So if you're looking to come to the Uni here in Hull take a watch and check out the city centre streets, shops, bars and restaurants as well as the culture, the museums and the marina.

I was born and lived in Hull for 26 years until I left to go to the US in 2016. I haven't been back and I didn't think I missed it until I watched this. I miss walking around old town hearing your feet hit the cobbles. I miss getting chippy, I miss sitting in the pub with the lads and having a few after work beers. I miss the sound of seagulls, buskers in the streets, indoor market during a busy weekend. Hearing the bells coming from Hull Minster. The audio alone made me emotional.. I never thought I missed home this much.
You left UK for better life in USA?
I love Hull, I was born there, my grandparents and great grandparents ran a jewellery business. So much character, amazing history, but most of all the people are wonderful. Strong, generous, honest,
I grew up in Hull from 1951 to about 1968, enormous changes have happened to its commercial hub so great I am astounded. Beautiful architecture, wide safe streets, fountains and best of all clean air!
Find the filming so calming and peaceful 😊
Spent 3 years of my life in Hull 50 years ago. It has gone through awful and extensive changes, but so many of those beautifully designed older buildings remain and I sincerely hope will remain!
I had no idea hull was such an attractive city with such beutifull buildings
Born and bred in Hull, rather live here then most other places, love it personally. And we are friendly 😊
I lived here some 20 odd years ago. Loved it then and it seems to be nicer today. Greetings from Iceland
subscribed, we love your content. You're not like a biased youtuber or someone with a negative or just an agenda focus on the bad or good whatever. You just naturally show what its really like in an place you go to/ beautiful.
Life is too short for looking for negatives isn’t it! ❤️ thank you for subscribing and welcome aboard!
I left 'Ull in 1968 after art college. Funny to see how different it is now. Happy memories though. I could give you an interesting commentary about that walk!
Take a wander with someone who knows Hull City Centre. You saw only a fraction of the character of Hull. There are so many magnificent buildings you missed. Land of Green Ginger, Parliament St. more explanation of what you were looking at. Eg. It was not just a pile of bricks on Monument Bridge, it was the old walls of the city.
Otherwise, it was interesting
I got very lost on this one!
Going to go back and do a more in-depth one
queens gardens, specially in the summer with the fountain going , st stephens shopping, we did see the tidal barrier, but most wont know what it is, etc
@@GimbalWalkTV Pearson Park is where Serendipity steered my Darling Mary and I to meet, Autumn 1971.
Fifty years later: Our Darling Children and Grand-Children.
Thank you for the sweet remembrances. Pearson Park is worthy of a visit, should you re-visit Hull.
Thank you, G, and all the best. Stay free. R 🍻 😎
Hi Amanda. I have received offer letter from the University of Hull for studying Msc in Marketing. I’d be relying on part time work to sustain myself. Would that be possible in Hull? If not, can I travel to York or Leeds from Hull easily? How much time does the journey take? Your reply will help me decide which university to accept for my masters. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks.
Nice! Left Hull 11yrs ago and it looks so much Brighter and Inviting now, keep up the Good Work HCC and We'll done for Remaining the only Independent City in the UK👍👍👍
My 11th Great Grandfather, William Cheney, was born in this area, in 1538. His son John, came to the USA in 1635. Once this Pandemic gets over, I will be visiting my ancestral home. I noticed the telephone booths were White. I always thought British phone booths were painted Red. Excellent video and much appreciated.
They are in the rest of the UK Charlie. Only Hull's are white. Get yourself here Charlie. Full of friendly people and a good night out
They’re actually cream. Tge telephone company was owned by the city council until recently. Our phone boxes are cream reflectiing that independence.
Great city. Grew up there.
I lived just outside Hull in the 70's and 80's and have many fond memories of the city, I love to go back, the view of the Humber Bridge as you approach on the A63 is breath taking, similarly the expanse of water at high tide as you travel along Clive Sullivan Way is amazing, I love to visit the museums in the old town, the old Pier Head and the shops on Hessle Road, once the heart of the fishing community. Your walk along Whitefriargate is a dissapointment with the loss of Woolworths, Littlewoods, M&S etc. but no different to other large towns and cities, they need our support and they will surely bounce back, the city has such a lot to offer. Thank you for your video and please do another, there is so much more to explore
Good to see that Fanthorpes is still in the arcade after all these years. I used to visit in the 70s as a teenager, drooling over the "high tech" music systems.
I am so proud of this city and its friendly people, such a lot of old history about the place. A very unique city, i was never apart of HULL, HULL became a part of me. God bless the city. 🙏❤🙏🇬🇧 March twenty twenty two
And so you should be Paul Crisp. I'm from Hull too and and think our city often gets such a bad reputation which is really unfair, when we have so much going for our city such as at least three shopping centres 🏬🛍️ (Princess Quay, St. Stephen's and Prospect Centre), the world's only submarimun (The Deep), the Hull marina⛴️🚢🛳️, a lot of coffee ☕ shops and a thriving fishing 🎣 industry.
@@tomspence8506 always better to have a positive frame of mind however hard. 👍😎👍 April twenty two
@@paulcrisp9861 I agree. I think I forgot to mention the may museums in Hull a well such as Hull Maritime Museum (which used to be called Town Docks Museum), the street life museum and Wilberforce House 🏠 were William Wilberforce lived.
OMG AMAZING! Love the friendly people 💖👱♀️
Love the old section. church bells were lovely.
You missed off so many of Hulls great buildings, the Guldhall, Queens Gardens, The Hull Marina and Pier The Hull Minster and old market place. The mighty river Humber. All were within 2 mins of where you walked. Such a shame.
I'm doing those in the next one!
Hi Pauline. I have received offer letter from the University of Hull for studying Msc in Marketing. I’d be relying on part time work to sustain myself. Would that be possible in Hull? If not, can I travel to York or Leeds from Hull easily? How much time does the journey take? Your reply will help me decide which university to select for my masters. Looking forward to hearing from you! Thanks.
@@wahladillida5963 Hi all three cities are great places and you would easily obtain part time work in any of them (depending on what you want to do obviously) the hospitality industry especially. I doubt you would need to travel to travel to Leeds or York for work, both would entail an hour's commute from Hull. Contact the university for advice or sign up to the Indeed web site which will give you an idea of job vacancies. Good luck
@@pauline7418 Okay, I’ll do that. Thank you so much for the information. 🙂
@@GimbalWalkTV hi, have you done the next one yet? My son wants to go to Hull for his 21st.. I'm not convinced yet
It's been many a year since I've been to Hull, I was about 11 years old when I went to Hull fair.
700 year old that fair! 👍🏴🇬🇧
Wow. I lived for nearly 2 years in Hull quite a while ago. The town Hall is just the same but a lot of the shops are different. Great upload!😊
I’ve never understood why people put Hull down so much, it has some amazing architecture. This is evident in the first 6 or 7 minutes of the video. A lot of the city centre was destroyed in World War 2, Hull was the most bombed city in Britain after London - and you can see later in the video, when going along the streets after visiting Queen Victoria Square, that most of what you see is post war. Had you gone up Bond Street, where the K2 Tower is - which is the tallest building in the city centre - you’d see huge bomb damage from the war. West of there and south of the grand terrace of old buildings on the north side of Albion Street is an enormous car park, the size of four or five football pitches, and that is an huge bomb site. Although it wasn’t just the German airforce that wrecked some of Hull, the post war replanners did a lot of damage too - Castle Street, south of Princes Quay and north of the marina, where the A63 is, used to have many old buildings. Large numbers were demolished to build that road between there and Myton Bridge. It’s nice that so much of old Hull does remain though.
Well said
Some great info there
You’ve 100% inspired me to go back and film there again
I’m pleased you found my comment inspiring. I mentioned the K2 Tower, the tallest building in the city centre - there is a cafe on the top floor and you can go out on the roof. You can see for many miles in every direction, you have amazing views along the river Humber in both directions aswell. When walking around the city if you seek out John Street, Kingston Square and Albion Street you can see very nice architecture. Regarding Albion Street: the nice architecture can be seen on the north side of the street, the south side is a huge car park as all those buildings were destroyed in the war. Also if you go south of the marina there is Corporation Pier, the ferries went from there over to Lincolnshire but ceased in the early-1980’s when the Humber bridge opened. If you stand on the pier you have nice views of the Humber and you can see the enormous bridge several miles west of you. This was the longest single-span bridge in the world when it opened, it took 9 years to build.
what a dismal and gloomy day. that guy walk down the road in shorts and t-shirt on a cold day brrr, must be crazy. I luv all the different that was going on
it was very interesting video.
take care , stay safe.
I’m going to do a few strange towns and cities as well as seasides so will try and find the most interesting ones!
Love 'Ull'. My city. Loved the film and I can't wait for you to come back and video some different parts of it.
I didn't know what to expect to be honest but what you've shown us of Hull looks pleasant. Nice architecture and I just want to say thanks 👍 to those guys in the boat ⛵ picking up the litter. ❤️
Well said!
My sister, brother in law and niece live in Hull, so I know some of these parts very well.
Came to work in Hull as a hairdresser in 1981 thankyou hull for giving me a job in your city and my lovely clients so v v clean city but not the buz it had back in the 80s90s but fab buildings and hull kept me in work big thankyou live in Spain nowx
A great little film. Enjoyed revisiting ......... a lot is happening construction wise! I noted on the film. Keep promoting Hull, a summer view of the city would be great!
Oh definitely - watch this space!
That fruit & veg stall is extremely popular with us locals, gotta love Hull.
I love my home city... Hull and proud😊
Es precioso😍me encanta😊
Looking forward to seeing your more in-depth one. So many interesting places museums, Marina, Ferens Art Gallery. Humber Street. The Minster etc . Thank you
Definitely!
Watch this space

Thanks for yet again another different video keep on walking 👍
Thanks, will do!!
Very interesting hull must visit next year
Lots more to explore here - I’m going to film another I think! O
Thankyou to employers for giving me a job in Kingston upon Hull and lovely clientele hull kept me in work for my working life thanks
Hull's a great city. Just needs more investment, which historically has been difficult to come by due to it being a non-transient end of the line city. Recession and subsequently Covid has impacted the city centre that bit harder with shop closures and the like. People slag it off unjustly in my opinion. The old town and the new walkway that connects the city centre to the Marina is fantastic.
Much appreciated, Neil. With the help of Serendipity, I met my Darling Mary at the gates at Pearson Park (junction of Princes Avenue and Westbourne Avenue, Hull), Autumn 1971. Fifty years later, with loving Children and Grand-Children = 💚
Stay free. Rab 🍻 😎 🌠
Ah lovely hull weather. Cloudy and cold
🤣🤣
Only been to The Deep (which was great). I was curious about Hull, brilliant vlog, thank you.
You’re welcome 😊
before this trip I'd only been to the Deep too!
Beautiful place !
Agreed
My ancestors left Hull about 1823ish. A friend from Seaton Ross (also a family place) who lives in an ancestral house sent the York link. These are just great. I wish I was rich, I'd move there or even half rich I'd visit for a long time.
ill swap houses with you for a bit lol
Nice yo see this
My home town. Great video. Thank you :)
Our pleasure!
Always liked Kingston upon Hull. Went to school at Hymers College. City always underrated but always had great flowers on the roads into the city.
John M Land
No more flowers on the central reservations lad. Cutbacks, we have plenty of them instead.
Wow I live in Hull and I love this place!
It's great isn't it
I"m back soon for another video
Love it , my home city 😀
A really excellent presentation!
Thank you. 🙂👌
You're very welcome!
Wow it's changed now. I haven't been back Hull for many years now.
Will come back to make visit for sure in the near future.
Very entertaining video
Thank you - I'll be doing a more indepth one with the rest of this great place soon!
Did my masters from
Hull University, feels nice to re visit the city through your camera
Thank you
i love it
Visited in March 2022. Beautiful weather, beautiful. Weekend. Have pics on my wall in usa of Humber bridge, Humber Street, and the river and sky
I had been in hull from dec93 till sep97. Miss hull so much. Hope be able to revisit hull one day
Where do you live now ?
Beautiful city nice video
Thank you!
Strangely you walked the exact same route i take when heading to bus station from the pub :D

@@wahladillida5963 Hi there,
Part time work is always available in Hull. For journeys to Leeds and York, each trip respectively takes around an hour.
@@thatnxrthernguy Thanks for the information, Dan. Really appreciate it!
I think I've been to Hull only once? I remember seeing so many corner buildings in the town. I love corner buildings. Probably odd, but not too many here in the states. Nice to hear the different languages whilst on our walk. Thanks again! :)
Nice one De. Hull's a fantastic friendly city.
Didn't realise how nice it is
Looks nice
What a nice city..I can't wait to resume to school, university of Hull in September for Masters in Logistics and Supply chain management ....Hull here I come !
What was your experience of hull as a black man?
@@AnaAna-xx4md It was an amazing experience .The people were very friendly . It was really fun. Cost of living is very low. I would have loved to settle permanently in Hull, but job opportunities are low in Hull.
looking forward to coming home again 4 years ago i was last in Hull
Nice environment
Stunning architecture. Loved the two men cleaning up the dock. Littering is an offence to the city, the nation and the planet, an act of selfishness and utter stupidity and must not be tolerated. THX
Im from New Zealand. My grandfather was from Hull and he imergrated to NZ after WW1. I hope to get to Hull soon.
Love the architecture 👍
Thank you for taking the time to visit a part of Hull. It looked like you would be doing it in sections. As for visiting Hull, I think not if the comments are a reflection of the people. The little fountain ⛲ with many water spouts reminded me of one in Brisbane. Children loved playing in it on hot days, while parents watched.
Hey mate great vlog and walk again thanku Any chance you can do a update on Sheffield please thanku 💯😊
100% - might actually be tomorrow that I film it actually!
Wow.
👍🏻
I like Hull City.
I wish one day
i will go there
i wish🥺❤️
My hometown 😊
Nice!
I didn't do it justice so will be back to do a better one!

My city ❤👍
It's one of my favourite ever cities I think
Looks like a decent city
Brilliant use of soundscape
and excellent pace
Thank you!
My girlfriend lives there. I live in California USA. She has came out here 3 times to see me. I’m planning on going there next year.
Wife and I visit Hull every september visiting friends. We love it there and think its bad reputation is unfounded on the whole.
I agree clemo benoit. I'm from Hull and think it's the best city in the UK. I don't know why it has such a bad reputation but I think it's really unfair.
April 1943, I was born in the front bedroom of 26 East Grove: I now live in Leipzig, Germany. All the family worked on the fish dock. In 1946/7 we moved to the prefabs in Froghall Lane - no longer there. I remember, six or seven years old, standing opposite the Royal Station Hotel to see Prince Phillip. Dick Bentley (Take it From Here) came to open the New Hammonds department store and going for toasted tea cakes at Troxler and Stanley's. Then the opening of the new Cecil cinema. 1955 we moved to Beverley. It was a different world.
Wow amazing memories John!
Superb stuff thank you for sharing!
You need to speak about what you’re walking past. The history of Hull!!
I don’t speak on my channel 👍❤️
When you know you know 💝🦋💝
A famous city.
Very!
Greetings and thankfulness from Malta. I got my Ph.D at Hull University. Looking forward to your next video 😀 Wonder if you will film the University campus🙏❤

@@wahladillida5963 Hi, Wahla. I finished the course for some years and forget how long is the train takes to the nearest station. Anyway, after the train, I had to take a bus to the Hull University. I suggest that you better search online for the updated information, or consult the University. Best luck for you on your studies.
@@dr.chanComposerMalta Okay, I’ll do that. Thank you. 🙂
You should have visited Queens Gardens...there is a stall there next to the fountain ponds which serves Fried Goldfish...freshly caught from the ponds and served with deep fried Licorice Allsorts.
There is also a hoopla stall where you can throw rubber rings at empty milk bottles...if you succeed in ringing one, you win a night out in Witherunsea with the traffic wardens grandmother.
I was told she actually lives on Angle bee road.
What more do you want...blood? (try the bus station after 11pm)
😮😮😮
Hull is Fantastic . Big City clean and Quiet 👍
I'm from Hull. I recognize the places in this video. Especially whitefriargate, but due to our accent it sound like most of us are actually saying why - frig - ade LOL!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do love Hull - going to come back and film another one I think!
@@GimbalWalkTV thank you for letting me know. I'm glad you laughed at our pronunciation of whitefriargate. We must be very difficult for non Hull residents to understand as we definitely don't all sound like Maureen Lipman LOL!
My home town 👍
I really like it!
Loved the old town too
Where do you live now ?
The Welsh are coming this weekend ❤
At 6:16, the third building in (the white one with the little plaque) is England smallest window.
Can you add date of waiks please ? I am getting dizzy going from Scarborough>Brid>Blackpool>Wakefield>Hull ! Or are you using your new supersonic drone :>)
ha ha ha yes will do Roy!
I've missed it out of the next two or three as they're already done and ready to go live, but after that I'll try to add to each one!
I've lived in Hull all my life (70 years) and it is still being destroyed by Hull City Council.
How ?
Shot ol'.
it's def a lot better-looking city than Leeds, Sheffield, nottingham
Sheffield is ugly
Lots of places missed like old town and hull marinea area best parts of hull
Love Fretwells on the High street although it seems to have another name there. 1.54m
Love Hull but was hoping you might walk along the river front.
Have done that - will be putting it up soon

When you look at this footage so clean nnnnnn the deep the buildings etc please don't let it get like other boarded up city's or the town Doncaster etc so sad
Which part of Hull is this?
Because Im thinking of moving to Hull to study.
Im also used to living in Liverpool and Manchester IDK anything about Hull.
And also is Kingswood a good place to live in?
This is Hull City Centre
Not anywhere near as exciting as Manchester or Liverpool that’s for sure
"Oldest building in Hull, dating back to the 15th century" ? .. Hull Trinity Church, now Hull Minster was built from the year 721 to 1285. 🏴🇬🇧
Yes, so much history missing on this walk - The bridge over the River Hull - the only one of it's kind in the world - Wilberforce House in the High Street, the smallest window in England down Land of Green Ginger - Queens Gardens etc etc. I'll be sharing with people who used to live here and knows our history but can see recent changes. I'm proud to be born and live in Hull :)
I got that info off the blue plaque on the front of the building! 😮😮
@@GimbalWalkTV Then the plaque isnt correct lol. Perhaps it means oldest private building? Obviously the Minster is much older. Thank You for Your interest in Hull. We lost many magnificent buildings in the wars. Hull was once much more grand. 👍🏴🇬🇧
@@lesleygilbert1945 Why they decorated Drypool bridge they way they have is beyond me! Awful green colour & what looks like 1970's wallpaper? Lol. It was great matching the other bridges, North bridge in that blue colour. Yes, Hull has many historical gems, many that those not from Hull (many from Hull too) just don't know about. I love Hull, my city that has been through so much. 👑👑👑 👍🏴🇬🇧
@@Paul-hl8yg I wonder if I misread the plaque?
Either way I LOVE Hull now - it was my first proper walk around (hence why I got totally lost) but my goodness it has so much going for it
I'm going to do some proper research into the place and do a more educated and indepth video on it - really great place
At 15:43 / 2:11 you can see the Costa coffee ☕ shop. My dad and my youngest brother always used to joke about how it would be funny if either they or someone else walked into Costa coffee ☕ and asked at the counter "How much is the Costa your coffee ☕!" LOL!
Don t like to criticise, yes there s a but, but, not having the comments running along the bottom, there is so much people might have missed, Ferens art gallery, queen Victoria square, the docks museum, many more buildings that could have been named, and you usually add a bit of historical quotes, now i love your work, but really you got to get to grips with this new equipment.
I agree.
Hey! Thanks for the video. I was looking for a walking tour of Hull as I am considering to join University of Hull for my masters. From the video, it seems like I won’t be able to find part time work and sustain myself easily. Is it easy to travel from Hull to York or Leeds? If yes, how much time will the journey take? I’d be very grateful if you could help me with this. Cheers again!
Hi!
They’re about an hour away on the train.
@@GimbalWalkTV Alright. Thanks! 🙂
You will find work. Anyone who wants to work can find it. Plenty in Hull part time. Lovely friendly city and great Uni.
@@mythicalmermaid5757 Thanks, Amanda. I am coming to Kingston Upon Hull in September! Excited 😀
I like pigeons 🙂
I live in hull your just down the road from me
