Even before Cuthbert Brodrick built all their civic buildings Hull was very important to Leeds. The first railway in Yorkshire was Leeds to Selby before expansion on to Hull, the link to Hull was more important than any other direction for wool exports etc.
 
Apparently, the Earl De Grey started life in 1831 and was originally called Junction Dock Tavern.

By 1864 the pub had expanded to include No. 8 Castle St. It was renamed Earl de Grey in the same year after the local MP and High Sheriff George Robinson who inherited the title.

By 1890 the pub no longer occupied No. 6. Works submitted for approval in 1913 saw the addition of glazed green tiles to the outside of the pub and a new curving bar.
