Hull
What you need to know.
Some Civil war shenanigans (It is technically Kingston upon Hull)
Wilberforce, Slavery
Wool, Whaling and Hanseatic League
Fishing (past) - The Hull Trawler Gaul (X-Files meets James Bond)
Amy Johnson (missing)
Severely shagged by Luftwaffe (1939-1945)
"They **** you up your mum and dad.." (Technically a black country boy), also Andrew Motion and Roger McGough popped in to study/teach.
A spider from mars who helped Ziggy with his guitar
Blood, Sweat and Tears (which covers Godber, Hull Truck and Judo gold)
Hull 4 London 0 - and various spin offs
a fine young cannibal and a throbbing gristle
Everything but the girl
A large bridge which will be useful when someone builds something on the other side of it
Awful local dialect
Stretching it - David Hockney (more sort of East Yorkshire)
White phone boxes
Rugby League
Lots of car parking (Luftwaffe legacy)
Until very recently - practically zero ethnic diversity
And nothing else.

They **** you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were ****ed up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one anothers throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And dont have any kids yourself.
Absolutely no mention of Marco Silva's Hull City AFC? Shocking.
This year is amazing...even the cynics are coming on board. Some amazing arts stuff and areas around Humber St etc being regenerated into cool places.
JR clearly resided in somewhere like Beverley, not Hull. A place for the new money to go and live.

No mention of Malcolms on George Street?
Early to mid seventies? Bands like Spirit , Budgie, Vinegar Joe (or was it Dada?)
Warlock on at the Trog Bar on a Tuesday night (followed by funk night at Scamps) They morphed into Dead Fingers Talk - jeez.
The good ole days.
Chip Spice (which is unique to Hull and cannot believe it hasn't caught on)
