Hull Paragon Interchange
Hull Paragon Interchange

Hull Paragon Interchange is a transport interchange providing rail, bus and coach services located in the city centre of Kingston upon Hull, England. The G. T. Andrews-designed station was originally named Paragon Station, and together with the adjoining Station Hotel, it opened in 1847 as the new Hull terminus for the growing traffic of the York and North Midland (Y&NMR) leased to the Hull and Selby Railway (H&S). As well as trains to the west, the station was the terminus of the Y&NMR and H&S railway's Hull to Scarborough Line. From the 1860s the station also became the terminus of the Hull and Holderness and Hull and Hornsea railways. At the beginning of the 20th century the North Eastern Railway (NER) expanded the trainshed and station to the designs of William Bell, installing the present five arched span platform roof. In 1962 a modernist office block Paragon House was installed above the station main entrance, replacing a 1900s iron canopy; the offices were initially used as regional headquarters for British Rail. A bus station was erected adjacent to the north of the station in the mid 1930s. In the early 2000s plans for an integrated bus and rail station were made, as part of a larger development including a shopping centre; St Stephen's shopping centre, a hotel, housing, and music and theatre facilities. The new station, named "Paragon Interchange" opened in September 2007, integrating the city's railway and bus stations under William Bell's 1900s trainshed. The station is currently operated by TransPennine Express, which provides train services along with Northern Trains, Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway.

Co-op Mosaic
Co-op Mosaic

The Co-op Mosaic is a mural in Kingston upon Hull, England, designed by the artist Alan Boyson. Commissioned by the Hull and East Riding Co-operative Society for the exterior of the end of their new store, the mural is sited at the junction of Jameson Street and King Edward Street, now a mainly pedestrianised area created for the City of Culture 2017. The building was erected by 1963. Depicting three stylised trawlers, it commemorates Hull's fishing fleet.The mural is made from 4,224 panels, each 1 foot (30 cm) square and each containing 225 Tesserae – cubes of Italian glass – using 1,061,775 in all. The panels are fixed to a 66 by 64 feet (20 by 20 m) curved concrete screen attached to the wall.The mural was manufactured to Boyson's design by Richards Tiles Ltd, subsequently part of Johnsons Tiles Ltd. It was constructed by A. Andrews & Sons Marbles and Tiles. Included in the mural is the Latin text res per industriam prosperae ('prosperity through industry'). It also includes the letters "H U L L" in the ships' masts. These appear fortuitously and not through deliberate design.After the Co-operative Society vacated the building in 1969, it was occupied by BHS from 1970 to 2016.In May 2007 the mural was locally listed by Hull City Council, who described it as a "superb example of modern public art". The council subsequently pledged to retain the mural when the site is developed. In November 2016 a proposal by Hull Civic Society to give the mural statutory protection at a national level was rejected. The society announced its intention to appeal against the decision. The mural was placed on the National Heritage List for England on 21 November 2019 at Grade II.

Earl de Grey, Kingston upon Hull
Earl de Grey, Kingston upon Hull

The Earl de Grey is a pub (public house), constructed in the early 19th century in the centre of Kingston upon Hull, England. The building is three storeys high, it had a slate roof and has a green and cream-coloured fascia (tiling) covering the front of the ground floor, which was added around 1913, decorated with Ionoic pilasters. The first records of the pub appear in 1931 when it was originally named Junction Dock Tavern; it was renamed in the 1860s after the Earl de Grey at the time, George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon. The Earl de Grey was popular with seafarers, being located close to the docks and in what was at the time Hull's red-light district. The faience ground floor was likely added around 1913, when the interior was renovated by the then owner, Bentley's Yorkshire Brewery. The exterior of the building was given grade II listed status for its historic value in 1994. Since then it has had extended periods of closure and disuse. According to a local legend: in the 1980s the pub was home to two parrots Cha Cha and Ringo. A burglar broke in and fearing that the parrots would alert the pub's landlord, stabbed Cha Cha to death. Following the ordeal Ringo then never spoke again. The two parrots are thought to be buried nearby. In 2018, property developer Wykeland announced that the Earl de Grey would be moved to make room for redevelopment of Castle Street. The Earl de Grey's new location is about 100 feet (30 m) from where it stood originally. The front of the building was disassembled and placed into storage in 2020. Reconstruction work began in January 2024 and is due to be completed in 2025, forming part of a restored Castle Street Chambers.
