Hull Pubs (Paperback)

The port of Kingston upon Hull is one of England's most historical and diverse cities, and boasts a wealth of taverns, inns, alehouses and public houses. Most of the older drinking establishments that have survived have stories to tell - frequently quirky or surprising, always interesting and often with nautical links, given the city's associations over the centuries with the fishing and shipbuilding industries. Author and historian Paul Chrystal takes the reader on a fascinating tour around some of the watering holes in the city and its surrounding villages, relating historical facts and dubious tales on subjects as diverse as the English Civil War, Philip Larkin, maritime matters and the slave trade. This book explores the histories and secrets, and tells of the many characters that have frequented or run the city's public houses. Hull Pubs will make locals and visitors alike want to visit at least one one of the city's venerable old taverns in the year Hull celebrates being UK City of Culture, and long afterwards.
