Paragon Conservation Area is the commercial and retail core of Kingston upon Hull City Centre which both evolved and was planned during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its special interest is formed by the following elements:
1. Private developments outside the city's walls during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
2. Commercial and retail expansion of the city during the mid to late 19th century.
3. Council-led ‘town planning’ and private developments of the Edwardian era which laid out and developed Jameson Street, King Edward Street and Paragon Street.
4. Council-led ‘town planning’ of the 1930s which laid out Ferensway and created the vision for a ‘shopping boulevard’ in the Neo-Georgian style.
5. The post-War redevelopment of the city in the Neo-Georgian and modernist styles of architecture.
These different periods of development bring together a street pattern which is both organic and planned and an eclectic mixture of 19th and 20th century commercial architecture in a high density built urban environment.
