Kinston-upon-Hull: Send Flowers Today

Hull, properly known as Kingston upon Hull is situated near the east coast of Yorkshire on the Humber Estuary. The city has at various times served as a military base, a port, a centre for fishing and whaling and, prior to the Second World War was an industrial centre. Heavily bombed during the Blitz, the city went into something of a decline in the post-war years but is now benefitting from major renovation projects.

Hull is a major shopping centre with a number of retail parks and department stores making it a popular destination for Yorkshire people in search of retail therapy. A number of tourist attractions draw visitors into the area, particularly The Deep, an impressive aquarium which is described as the only submarium in the world. Built using funds from the National Lottery Millennium Fund it is believed to be the most successful project of its kind and in addition to attracting tourists the aquarium is also a centre for marine research.

Hull is home to a wide variety of museums including the former home of William Wilberforce who was responsible for the abolition of slavery, the museum ship 'The Arctic Corsair' a former fishing vessel and the Streetlife Museum of Transport.
