With a population of almost 269,000 Hull is a city that has everything.
A city famous for its docks, and while the fishing fleet may have gone
forever, business is still booming in the port, a key European link for
the rest of Britain and Ireland, handling more than 10 million tonnes of
cargo yearly and a million passengers.
With its history stretching back 700 years when Edward I,
realising the strategic importance of this growing port on
the River Humber, conferred upon it the title of Kings Town
upon Hull (Hull is called today Kingston-upon-Hull) and granted
the town its first Royal charter in 1299.
