WALK 10: On Route to Stepney
Meet at Kingston Youth Centre, 48A Beverley Road, Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU3 1YE
We start at one of our oldest surviving school buildings, now the Kingston Youth Centre, set back from the road opposite Trafalgar Street. We will appreciate the green haven created by Hull Community Diggers and admire the improvements to street frontages made by the Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme.
We’ll look at the other schools that were in this stretch of Beverley Road. We may also be surprised at how many cinemas were proposed and built within a short distance of each other. We’ll finish by updating you on the progress now being made with preserving the remains of the bombed National Picture Theatre, for which we are grateful to National Lottery players, Hull City Council and the National Civilian World War 2 Memorial Trust.
