Anlaby Rd & Hessle Rd

Mon 30 Jul 2018




 
     
 Midland St

 Anlaby Rd - Former Immigrant Station 1871. By Thomas Prosser. For the North Eastern Railway Co. Extended 1881.

 Anlaby Rd

 The Eagle pub on Anlaby Rd was originally much smaller - and a little to the east and there was a large garden

belonging to the pub up to the corner of Coltman St . This was built on around 1860 and the 3 storey building

 at the corner was a grocers shop. The pub was extended around 1960 to include the corner shop, and given back its

 orginal name in 1999. It closed a few years ago and has been derelict since, but is to be converted into flats.

 Built as Milton Terrace on Anlaby Rd around 1870, there were 13 properties. The 8 to the west were demolished for the 'flyover'

 Saner St

 

 Boulevard

 

 Al-Salam mosque, Hull's first mosque here in 1967, renovated and restored 2011-14

 Hull's School for Fishermen moved here around 1920, and shortly after it became Boulevard Nautical School

 Hull & Sculcoates Dispensary - Western Branch. Now Anson Electronics, 1898, Smith, Brodrick & Lowthe

 Hessle Rd and Rayners - formerly the Star & Garter and historically the Hull fisherman's pub.

 

 

 Hessle Rd

 Murals painted here on the wall of Turbo Systems in May 2017

 and more or less opposite at Dixons Bakery a few months later

 commemorating the fishermen

 

 and the Hull women who fought to get safer working conditions on the trawlers

 after the 1968 tragedies in which 58 men working on three trawlers were drowned within a month on the

 St Romanus , Kingston Peridot and Ross Cleveland.

 Lillian Bilocca, Christine Jensen, Mary Denness and Yvonne Blenkinsop formed the Hessle Road Women's Committee

better known as the headscarf revolutionaries. They went to meet Harold Wilson with their demands and new

regulations were introduced, meeting most of them. They were attacked, reviled and blacklisted at the time by
the fishing industry. Big Lil died in 1988 and it was only in 1990 that Hull Council put up a plaque recognising
"the contributions to the fishing industry by the women of Hessle Road, led by Lillian Bilocca, who successfully
campaigned for better safety measures following the loss of three Hull trawlers in 1968."
