Kingston upon Hull, almost invariably referred to as Hull, is
a city and unitary authority area in the ceremonial county of the
East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is located 25 miles (40 km)
from the North Sea on the River Hull at its junction with the Humber
estuary. Hull has a resident population of 258,700 (2008 est.).
Renamed Kings town upon Hull by King Edward I in 1299, the town and
city of Hull has served as market town, military supply port,
trading hub, fishing and whaling centre and industrial metropolis.
Hull was an early theatre of battle in the English Civil Wars.
Through its celebrated 18th century Member of Parliament, William
Wilberforce, the city was the backdrop to events leading to the
abolition of the slave trade in Britain.
The city is unique in the United Kingdom in having had a municipally
owned telephone system from 1902, sporting cream, not red, telephone
boxes. After suffering heavy damage during the Second World War,
Hull weathered a period of post-industrial decline, during which the
city gained unfavorable results on measures of social deprivation,
education and policing. However, the city has embarked on an
extensive programme of economic regeneration and renewal.
Culturally, Hull has been the base for several notable poets
including Philip Larkin, many of whose poems were set in the city. A
range of both classical and popular musical experiences is
available, and the various museums offer a glimpse of the scope of
Hull's history and development. These, along with a lively night
life and popular arts festivals, attract visitors from a wide area.
Spectator sporting activities include professional football and two
rugby league clubs. There are many amateur sports clubs located in
the city offering a wide range of participatory opportunities.
The University of Hull and the Hull York Medical School are situated
in the city. In keeping with the maritime history of Hull, the long
established Hull Trinity House School offers training to mariners.
The local accent differs markedly in its vowel sounds from that in
the rest of the Yorkshire region and the rhythm of speech bears a
similarity to that of Lincolnshire to which it was linked in the
defunct county of Humberside.
