Holderness Road (West) Conservation Area, Kingston upon Hull
The earliest buildings date from the 1820s when this was a late Georgian suburb for
‘families of men in a good way of business, profession or trade’. As early as 1838,
however, the first of a varied ‘mix’ of buildings began to appear and it remains a distinct character of the area to this day.
The extent of the Conservation Area is depicted at: Link
It extends between the junction with Witham, Clarence Street and Dansom Lane in the west and Mount Pleasant in the east, viz.: Holderness Road Nos. 1 to 39 (north side) and 2 to 128 and the Cornmill Hotel (south side), Abbey Street Nos. 115 to 127, Blyth Street (north side), Dansom Lane Nos. 3 (west side) and 2 to 6 (east side), Field Street Nos. 4 (west side) and 3 to 13 (east side), Franklin Street Nos. 12 & 14, Williamson Street No. 73, Wilton Street Nos. 17 to 21, Witham Nos. 51 to 59.
