The Humber Bridge

The bridge once held the world record as the longest single span suspension bridge for cars but it remains the longest in the world over which to walk or cycle. More than 100,000 vehicles use the bridge each week, travelling between East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, with the majority using the HumberTAG electronic tolling system.

The museum tells the story of the transatlantic slave trade and its abolition, as well as dealing with contemporary slavery. Galleries also offer a fascinating glimpse into West African culture.

Recently opened galleries contain wonderful displays of local crafstmanship, clock-making, Hull silver collection, the East Yorkshire Regiment and Edwardian Hull Last entry 15 minutes prior to closing

Reviewed By chrisbH2241WA - Wirral, United Kingdom

We visited based on the recommendation of a BBC book of 100 places that shaped the UK. The museum is based in William Wilberforce’s family home & is now within a vibrant museum quarter in Hull. There is a wealth of information, set out attractively & accessibly, on the house, the history of slavery, Wilberforce’s political battle to end the slave trade, the Middle Passage, the slave experience, the aftermath of slavery, African culture & contemporary slavery. We didn’t manage to see everything in the time that we had. A great visit & it’s free!

Hull's Old Town

Reviewed By Lesleycccccccc

My dad and I always have a lovely time having a walk around the old part of hull. Walking up high street it is easy to imagine what it was like years and years ago there are some hidden gems if you know where to look I’m lucky my dad is a hull born and bred lad so he knows all the spectacular secrets that are there if you know where to look. Have a walk up and down the cobbled tiny streets go sit in trinity square and have a coffee and go walk round holly trinity church it’s free to enter plus if it’s raining you can sit in the church and have a hot drink along with a yummy piece of cake they always have some great home baking in the church cafe. Have a walk to hull pier and carry on round to hull marina and back round down Humber street. Hull is a great little city it’s under estimated most people are really friendly and helpful and the nice thing about hull is you don’t drive through it to go to other places so if your coming to hull your coming because you really want to. ????????. Ps don’t forget to have a walk up to queen victora square it is spectacular it has two of hulls great museums in it ferans art gallery and the maritime museum it’s well worth a visit.
