Product Description

Synopsis
Hull, or Kingston Upon Hull to give it its full title, is a city of great contrasts, from the elegant Guildhall and thriving international port, to the calm of the Museum Quarter centred in the heart of the Old Town and the breathtaking and hugely successful submarium, The Deep, which points confidently towards the River Humber. Alongside the history, tradition and modern regeneration of the city, there is also a remarkable human story, for the City Council shoulders a responsibility for some of the largest areas of social housing anywhere in the country. Historic museums, modern shopping centres, marinas, sports stadiums and business developments, signal the renaissance of an unassuming, yet intriguing city. As the 140 beautiful photographs in the book show, this is a place rapidly re-inventing itself, in the shadow of the demise of its once great fishing fleets. And as this stunning book of new photographs shows, for those who have a view about Hull, but have never actually been there, a visit to truly get under its skin is likely to turn into quite a surprise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some Excellent Imagery, 20 Feb 2009
By A. Tudor (Kingston-upon-Hull, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Managed to track this down - an excellent album with some brilliant shots of Hull - a place many people underestimate or judge before they have ever even spent some time there (i.e. more than 6 hours).

This book and photography combines all the modern developments (unfortunately no St. Stephens though) with all the old, historic areas (some of which were new to me and I've lived here for several years!). My only criticism would be that some of the shots of buildings have extra things in that would have been better without (buses going past, people hanging around, etc) - and also the fact the new St. Stephens development isn't in there. Time for a Issue number 2 methinks?

Overall an excellent showcase displaying some brilliant examples of why Hull is one of the best-kept secrets of the North-East.
