Hull, England

Officially Kingston-upon-Hull, located in northeastern England on the northern bank of the Humber Estuary. Kingston upon Hull, more usually referred to simply as Hull, is a city and unitary authority, in northern England in the United Kingdom, which is situated on the north bank of the Humber estuary and on both sides of the River Hull, which flows into the Humber.

Unlike many other ancient English cities, Hull has no cathedral. It does, however, contain Holy Trinity Church, which is the largest parish church in England. The church contains some of the finest medieval brick-work in the country, particularly in the transepts.

The city centre stretches from Paragon Railway Station to the Old Town. The whole town was massively affected by World War Two bombing. Among the shops, bars and clubs are two large shoppiang centres; the Prospect Centre and Princes Quay Shopping Centre, the latter of which is built on stilts in the former Princes Dock. There is also the indoor Trinity Market featuring around fifty stalls. Hull's larger nightclubs in the city centre include Waterfront, Heaven and Hell, Pozition and, until recently, LA's. There is a concentration of bars and pubs in and around Old Town.
