Larkin Trail Discover a poet’s landscape as you follow the 15 Larkin Trail Photograph by Mike Bartlett The Finn family follow the Hull Fish Trail What better way to explore the city of Hull and find out more about marine life than by walking the Hull Fish Trail? This Trail has been cleverly put together to help people discover the riverside and Old Town areas of the city. There are 41 sculptures of marine creatures to find, from the well-known THE FINN FAMILY shark (placed, rather fittingly, next to an old bank! Look for other examples of the artist’s sense of humour en route) to more obscure species such as naucrates ductor and, our favourite: Warty Doris! Created by artist Gordon Young in 1992, each piece is crafted from beautiful natural materials and looks stunning alongside the new public realm work completed in 2017. The Hull Fish Trail is appealing to all age groups: Youngsters will love finding out more about sea creatures and perhaps taking rubbings of the sculptures as they go round. There are plenty of great places along the way to stop for a bite to eat or an ice cream. Older family members may enjoy a visit to any of the many inviting pubs en route. Families may wish to combine the Trail with a visit to any one of Hull’s fantastic free museums or galleries. There are several public toilets along the way and the opportunity to refill water bottles at the free fresh water source next to the Marina.If you wish to complete the Hull Fish Trail in one go, allow 2-3 hours. Walking round the Trail with our daughter, many interesting conversations ensued. To our dismay, our child had thought that anchovies were a vegetable until she discovered the shimmering chrome beauties at the Trail’s start point! We also talked a lot about the history of the city; the origins of street names and, inspired by the Minerva pub’s painted sign, tried to name as many gods and goddesses as we could. We each learned something new about fish as we made our way round and hunting for some of the less obvious sculptures gave us the opportunity to appreciate some of the terrific architecture our city has to offer. In brief, the Hull Fish Trail is an innovative and informative way to discover more about Hull and its maritime heritage. Discover our City We Finns had a whale of a time!

Although now long gone, to date we have seen the emergence of currently ten micro-breweries within Hull and the Once the third largest surrounding area, who together provide an eclectic choice of maritime port in real ales and craft beers. As a brewer at the Yorkshire Brewing England, the city Company, I am very proud of our heritage and our team enjoys often had thousands sharing the beer and pubs experience with local residents and of transient visitors tourists when they join us on the Hull Ale Trail. at any one time and, A must see is a visit to our brewery and Taphouse bar – nestled in its heyday, there by Hull Marina in the Fruit Market Arts Quarter – where you were literally hundreds will have the opportunity to see how we handcraft our beers of places where you with locally sourced ingredients and we will whet your appetite could partake in liquid with several varieties of beer for you to taste. refreshment.

But today I can say that that lack of education has been rectified. Since 2008, pupils across England have studied as part of the national curriculum, the development of the slave trade, colonisation and the links between slavery, the British Empire and the industrial revolution. On visiting the house as an adult I can appreciate his works and see every day how far society has come but also how far we still have to go. My next stop was Hull’s Humanitarian Wall which was first installed in 2007 and records people past and present who fought for emancipation and freedom. Situated in the Museums Garden this spot has always offered a quiet place for reflection and on a sunny day an alfresco coffee and sandwich are just the ticket. Moving on with the trail through the cobbled streets and stathes of Hull’s Old Town I got a real feel for how things used to be, as much of this area remains unchanged since the time when Wilberforce lived. Trinity Square would have been particularly familiar to a young Wilberforce as his family worshiped at Holy Trinity Church (Hull Minster) and was educated at the old grammar school (Hands on History Museum) alongside other wealthy merchant’s sons. One very strong memory of my childhood was a school visit to Maister House and the splendour and sparkle of the beautiful staircase surrounded by stucco panels and artworks. I often wondered if Wilberforce appreciated the privileged position he was in as a child from a wealthy family with access to an education. My final stop, Queens Gardens and the Wilberforce Monument which for years I believed to be a replica of Nelson from Trafalgar Square, I have since discovered that this most notable statue was first situated on Monument Bridge near Princes Quay was way before my time and is set to be lit as part of a new permanent artistic lighting Discover our City installation by Nayan Kulkarni.

Paul Schofield tells us about The Statue Trail As a tour guide I am in the envious position of showing visitors and locals round my fascinating home city. Many tourists comment on the quality and quantity of statues and sculptures that can be discovered, especially in the historic Old Town. Hull has always been a hotbed of artistic talent including the Earles and Keyworths in the Victorian era and has also encouraged sculptors from outside the city such as Stefan Gec (Leeds) and Steinunn Thorarinsdottir (Iceland). What is striking is the variety of statues each telling a different aspect of Hull's history. There are the traditional statues depicting Wilberforce, Marvell and de la Pole and more recent ones such as Truelove and Voyage highlighting Hull's maritime traditions. Neil Hadlock's statue of a transmigrant family informs us of the port's significant international role as a gateway to a new life for those fleeing poverty and persecution in Europe at the turn of the 19th century. The city has also seen the rise of strong, independent women none more famous than Amy Johnson,who in 1930 was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia. Quite rightly she has a statue outside the Prospect Centre which describes her pioneering exploits. So follow the trail and take the time to look up, down and Explore every angle around and experience our fine city's unique blend of art, architecture and inspiring stories. 9 DON’T FORGET TO TAG #VISITHULL @VISITHULL IN YOUR SELFIES!

The gallery is open daily from 12noon to 5pm and is located on the Harbour Deck. On leaving Princes Quay we followed the outline of the old City Walls to Humber Street Gallery, a new contemporary art space which opened in 2017. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, Humber Street is home to a local iconic piece of art fondly know as ‘Dead Bod’ and has pride of place in the ground floor bar area. There is also a rooftop bar open during the summer months with wonderful views of the Marina and Fruit Market area. An afternoon was just not enough time to visit all the museums Whatever the weather and galleries on offer so we are planning to head out again.

They lobbied the government and eventually forced the introduction of new safety measures, including all ships having a full-time radio operator.

Graham Chesters explores the town through a poets eyes and walks the

Larkin GRAHAM CHESTERS Trail Philip Larkin, one of the 20th-century’s greatest poets, was Hull University Librarian from 1955 until his death in 1985. The Larkin Society helped to establish a dedicated trail in 2011. Larkin developed a well-documented affinity for Hull and its ‘different resonance’. It’s where his genius blossomed. In his early days in the city, he notoriously – and plenty of people in Hull never forget! – described Hull as ‘a dump’ but he soon found that its distinctive atmosphere, people and geography were inspirational. His famous collection ‘The Whitsun Weddings’ (1964) begins with his beautiful evocation of journeying to Hull and beyond, ‘Here’. ‘I like it here’, he said, - which, given Larkin’s limited range of expressed enthusiasm, is almost as good as it gets. The trail gives everyone a chance to see Hull and its surrounding landscape through a poet’s eyes. Most of the 25 unique trail markers are visitable on foot but you’ll need car or bike to get to Blacktoft, Beverley and Spurn Point, the outliers. Each site has a particular relevance to Larkin the man and the poet: pubs where he enjoyed jazz, houses where he lived, his workplace, the village where he is buried, buildings directly related to poems. It begins at Hull Interchange where three markers, as well as Martin Jennings’s iconic statue of the poet, cluster as a sign of the importance that the site has for the poetry. It ends, appropriately enough, at Spurn Point: ‘Here is unfenced existence;/ Facing the sun, untalkative, out of reach’. For details of the Trail and opportunity to download short and longer versions of the trail brochure, go to http:// www.thelarkintrail.co.uk/, a very rich website for Larkin enthusiasts and those new to this complex individual. If you want to find out more about the poet and the man, Larking with Larkin visit the Philip Larkin Society website www.philiplarkin.com
