Coltman Street, Kingston upon Hull
Coltman Street, Kingston upon Hull
Considered to be the grandest house in the street, No.114 Coltman Street was built 1854 by Benjamin Musgrave, who was also responsible for No.168. Between 1874 and 1890, the house was occupied by Christopher Pickering (1842-1920), trawler fleet owner and philanthropist, commemorated by a blue heritage plaque in 2013. After having been subdivided into flats by the City Council, the building was vacant and falling into disrepair when it was sold in 2012 to the present occupier. The restoration works were featured in BBC2's 'Restoration Home', 14 August 2013. LinkExternal link.

Fishing Industry, Kingston upon Hull

The city’s fishing industry was founded by fishermen from Brixham (Devon) and Ramsgate (Kent) in mid-19th century. Initially, landing and marketing were confined to the pier, then a corner of Humber Dock, before moving again to the newly-opened Albert Dock in 1869. A significant boost came in 1883 when St Andrew’s Dock was opened solely for the fishing industry. The slump in the industry in the 1970s led to the closure of St Andrew’s Dock in 1975, when fishing vessels moved back to their old home in Albert Dock. In 2024, the future of the industry in the city is uncertain.
