'I wish I could think of just one thing I could tell you about Hull, oh yes...it's very nice and flat for cycling.' Philip Larkin
Hull was the second most severely-bombed town by the Luftwaffe's finest (much to my grandad's chagrin). So after the war, the corporation begged some cash off that nice Mr Attlee and rebuilt the town centre. Then it seems they ran out of cash and did very little for 40 years. Even now, there are parts of the town-centre that have ben neglected.

and probably everything for a mile in every direction from the town centre needs pulling down and rebuilding.

A more dispicable eyesore I have yet to see. It didn't come first in the "Book of Crap Towns" for nothing.

It is a tragedy.
Pretty much everything apart from old Town and the Avenues and parts of Hessle Road need tearing down.

Drop a canister on the place. Start again, with no Bransholme and no Orchard Park and no Greatfield and no Preston Road. But sadly things are going the other way, and if anything the place is getting MORE chavvier. I mean, the chavs are taking over the nice suburbs now. Horrific. Eventually the place will just be one big chav-factory.

I went there recently.
Went to "The Deep" aquarium, which we really enjoyed. However, it took us fucking ages to get out of.
