Pearson Park is great for smaller dogs because it's enclosed and not too big. Our little terrier loves it. For something different try the path along the River Hull from Beverley Road out towards Dunswell. It's flat, quiet, and runs alongside the river for about two miles. Most people don't know...

Wilberforce House is a must. I know the slavery content is heavy for young kids but it's such an important part of Hull's story. The abolition of the slave trade started with a Hull man and that's something every child in this city should know about. For lighter stuff the Hands on History Centre...

The Adelphi Club shutting down was a massive blow. So many bands played their first gigs there and it was a genuine launching pad. The Housemartins started there. Lots of punk bands cut their teeth on that stage. You can't replace that kind of venue with a corporate live music space. It had...

My grandad used to take me and I've got memories of standing in the mud at Spurn in wellies about three sizes too big just digging away with a little garden fork. The cockles we brought home that evening were the best I've ever tasted. There's something about catching your own food that makes it...

Check if your boiler is still under warranty first because you might be able to get it fixed for free. Most boilers have a five to ten year manufacturer warranty. Other than that I'd echo what others have said, find a local independent plumber through word of mouth. The reviews on Google are...

The triple trawler disaster should be taught in schools. Fifty eight men from one city lost in a matter of weeks and most people in this country have never heard of it. Lillian Bilocca and the headscarf revolutionaries who campaigned for trawler safety afterwards are genuine Hull heroes. The...

It's sad what's happened to it. I remember going there on Saturday afternoons as a teenager and it was rammed. Every shop was open, the food court was buzzing, and it felt like the heart of the city centre. Now it's like walking through a ghost town. I think converting part of it into offices or...

if we go up Clarke is a top flight player absolutely no question. If we don't go up someone will come in with silly money in the summer and we'll have no choice but to sell. Enjoy every game he plays for us because players this good don't hang around in the Championship forever. The goal against...

Spring Bank is one of those roads that divides opinion. Some people think it's brilliant for its diversity and independent businesses. Other people think it's gone downhill and avoid it. Where do you lot stand? Personally I think it's one of the most interesting streets in Hull. You've got...

I heard the Arctic Corsair is finally open to visitors again after being restored. For anyone who doesn't know it's one of the last surviving Hull sidewinder trawlers and it's been turned into a museum ship near the old dry dock area. My grandad was a trawlerman and I grew up hearing stories...

I keep hearing about plans to redevelop the area around Ferensway and the station but nothing ever seems to happen. There's been talk about new hotels, shops, apartments, and better links to the waterfront for what feels like about a decade now. The area around the station is honestly a bit grim...

Something I've noticed in the last couple of years is how many small businesses and cottage industries are popping up in Hull. Not talking about the big chains but proper independent stuff. There's a woman near me in the Avenues who makes incredible handmade candles and sells them at local...

I've lived in Hull my entire life and the Old Town still amazes me every time I walk through it. And yet when people think of Hull they picture grey housing estates and the flyover. It's so frustrating. The Old Town is properly historic. We're talking about streets that have been here since...
