Synopsis:

Explore Kingston-upon-Hull, a historic market town and major sea-port on England’s Humber estuary.

This edition highlights Hull’s unique position at the river’s edge, its growth over the centuries, and its role in regional trade and life along the estuary.

The town sits on the northern shore of the Humber, with a history that blends local parish life, bustling markets, and a port that connected inland towns to distant markets. The work traces population growth through the 1800s and sheds light on how Hull developed into a key commercial hub while maintaining its local character.

• Learn how Hull emerged as a principal port and market town in the British empire.
• See how the Humber estuary shaped the town’s economy and daily life.
• Gain context for Hull’s urban development and population changes over time.
• Understand a sense of local history, geography, and parish layout within the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Ideal for readers of local history, maritime heritage, and England’s urban development.
