Explore Kingston upon Hull at your own pace
Hull's skyline belongs to the merchants. The streets between the docks, the river and the Minster belong to a different city - the medieval craftsmen who laid the earliest brick Gothic church in England course by course, the seafarers' brotherhood men who built almshouses for the wrecked and widowed, the whaling captains whose Arctic log-books became science, the trawlermen's wives who stood on a dock in January and refused to let another crew sail without a radio operator, the dock labourers who shifted a city's worth of trade by hand across the quays, and the abolition campaigner born in a High Street merchant house who spent thirty years dismantling a trade his own city had profited from. Heritage Open Days 2026 theme is 'Everyday Histories': the unsung and the missing from the picture. This tour names them.
