The Lord Mayors Centenary Plaques were established to commemorate the centenary of the creation of the role of Lord Mayor in Kingston upon Hull. They recognise one hundred pioneers from the city who have achieved great distinction in their various fields, from scientists to explorers, ground breakers and campaigners who have made a difference on a local, national and international level but have their roots in the city.

The Hull 100 mobile app contains photographs and information on almost all of the pioneers: Link The app does not appear to have been updated since its inception. A significant number of locations are incorrect.
The Lord Mayor's Centenary Trail comprises plaques at 25 locations within the city centre: Link This trail is also reproduced on pages 16 & 17 in the print edition of 'The City Walking Trails Guide'
