The first plaque was erected to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. As befits a maritime city, they have a nautical appearance, with their characteristic gold ropework rim and inner circle. As well as plaques to famous people, families and events, they also mark the Old Town walls and gates, docks and other features of the city's maritime and industrial heritage. As at 2025 there were approximately 83 plaques citywide; a definitive list had been requested from the City Council but to no avail. 35 of them feature in the Blue Plaque Trail in the Old Town: Link

Postscript: The plaque relating to High Flags Mill, No. 192 Wincolmlee appears to have disappeared. Fortunately, a photo survives in 'Hull Camera 1964-1991' by Ted Tuxworth, p. 74. The plaque reads: '1986 / Seed crushing is one of Hull's oldest port based industries, first recorded in 1525. HIGH FLAGS MILL (c1856) occupies a riverside site for ease of import, the industry being traditionally concentrated in the Wincolmlee area. / HULL CITY COUNCIL'
