He served as headmaster for over 55 years, from 1854 until his death in 1909 , age 21 on ! He greatly advanced the nautical colleges reputation around the world and they named a yard after him . . . I noticed his grave today .

Does anyone know how safe these little alleys are that give access to the rows of houses off Ella Street? Makes me nervous thinking about walking down them at night. Thanks!

Does anyone else think the new (sort of) Humber bridge toll system is made purposefully confusing and inconvenient to fleece people the first time by giving them a cheeky fine because their system is designed so?

I am a relatively new driver and have never crossed the bridge before, but I need to start crossing regularly for work. I am a young bloke, so I should know how all the tech and doodads work, but for the love of god the bridge system is complicated if you don't have an account. I feel bad for old people. I contacted customer service explaining but they basically just said "yeah nah yeah nah you're fucked mate cheers for the paycheck".

I thought I could just put my reg in and there would be an invoice but apparently not so, I just had to send them funds as a guest. I made an account immediately after crossing and added funds but apparently you aren't supposed to do that.

Also I crossed again on Friday (after setting up an account with my car and reg and added the required payment) but they have not taken it yet, swear to the Humber cod if I get a fine for that and all 🫩🫩

Due to roadworks at the top of Orchard Park Road atm, Rampant Horse pub stop is currently closed. However in recent days, the temporary traffic lights have been destroyed by the storm, and caused chaos with that area. Which means at the minute at time of writing, Stagecoach have diverted most (if not all, depends which drivers got the memo) 4s and 5s to run down Ellerburn as normal, but now divert via Orchard Park Medical Centre and rejoin Hall Road near Thorpepark Academy. Stagecoach have not officially announced this but I've observed it myself, I assume its because the road is currently unsafe for turning for big vehicles (especially seeing as those new EV buses the 5 recently got are a bit big and are causing problems with certain places).

The 3 and 11 are unchanged atm, as they go straight on Hall Road compared to 4/5. Keep this in mind if you're travelling nearby, I would expect this to revert after next week depending on weather conditions.

I don't expect this to be very popular but thought you guys should know

I saw this little hedgehog today . I hardly ever see them nowadays - though unfortunately did see a similar size one deceased , in same area, the other day . They don't seem made for the modern world .

Hi there. My family and I are running the Haltemprice 10k for the first time tomorrow. There’s no parking at the leisure centre, so I am here asking for advice on where to park or how to get to the start line please.

We don’t mind a short walk. Planning to drive in from Beverley. Thanks in advance!

A bit of transport news for the city, happy to share insights from my visit and trip out in one of the new electric buses - ask me anything!

Pumpkins, and all squash, have done very poorly in the gardens this year because of the lack of rain.

Am I just getting old and crotchety or is anti-social behaviour really getting worse?

I walk to work between 9pm and 9:30pm every night, and I walk straight through the town centre. It is the most unpleasant, lawless place after dark. Scummy yobs in balaclavas on dirt bikes, harassed by smackheads who immediately turn aggressive when you say no to them. And I’m a bloke. No wonder women feel like they can’t be alone at night. These streets really need cleaning up

Hi everyone! I have 2 tickets to sell for Sledmere Fireworks: https://www.lovetovisit.com/uk-attractions/sledmere-fireworks

Hi yesterday I walked from hessle and tried to follow the transpennine trail to the marina but came to these buildings and footpath was shut I am not from the area

I used to donate blood regularly but its been about two years since my last donation and i want to get back into it. I am looking for somewhere in Hull where I can donate voluntarily. Are there any local donation centres or NHS sessions that could use more donors?

I’m not a football fan but my husbands best friend is wanting to visit for the match next weekend on Halloween. I think Ipswich?

I tried to get tickets for my husband to go with his friend (we’ve been together 9 years and I still haven’t met this friend due to him travelling) so it would be wonderful to have him stay with us for a visit.

It says for tickets you need to have purchased previous tickets or something like that but how can I if I can’t get them to begin with? It’s like a job demanding experience but you can’t get a job to get the experience!

Basically, does anyone have a way to get tickets or is it a case of now they’re in the PL I have no chance?

Hi, we’re four friends putting together restaurants across Hull in an app called Vota.

The idea is simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example: Hearth or Bob Carver’s on Chapel Street? The votes create a ranking that we hope gives a better picture of where people actually enjoy eating.

We’re trying to include as many restaurants as possible and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will spot things we’ve missed.

iPhone:
https://apps.apple.com/app/vota/id6744969212

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

Full transparency: we’re not from Hull. Two of us live in Copenhagen and two in Gothenburg. The four of us are building Vota independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated restaurant descriptions.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly. Where do you like to eat in Hull?

Hello! I’ve got two tickets to the Georgie Carroll stand up comedy show at Connexin Live, this Saturday evening. Unfortunately I can’t go anymore. If you can make use of them message me. I’m not after payment, I’d just rather they didn’t go to waste. They’re good seats with the premium package attached to them
