Hull: City of contrasts
In this age of staycations, I left Manchester for a few days and crossed northern England to visit the East Yorkshire city of Hull. CONTINUES BELOW

Hull sits on the Humber estuary and has an interesting mix of grand civic buildings, industrial facilities and modern architecture.
The city has suffered from a shady reputation over the years but I found it both impressive and having plenty worthy of exploration.
The marina area has been extensively restored and Humber Street is an excellent spot for eating out. And with its independent telephone company, Hull is famed for its cream phone boxes.
The city also has a rural and coastal hinterland to visit – more on that in future posts.

I’ve never been to the UK’s East, looks like I need to schedule a visit once the current situation allows for “proper” travel again :-)

I think you should, Kiki. This city really confounded its poor reputation around the rest of the country. The travel situation is a good excuse to explore a bit closer to home :)
