Good write up. Really needs a bloody good idea for the area. I would have never of said pull it down and start again now I’m not sure. It’s still ex dockland and usually a great area for investment.You must log in or register to see images
Given that it's slap bang in the middle of town, I'd definitely like to see something salvaged with PQ, and that may in turn get some more businesses in down Whitefriargate which is awful too. The problem is, it needs a handful of thriving businesses to move there to make it a proper shopping destination as opposed to being the car park next to Primark. If they're existing businesses, then you're likely killing another part of town to get them to move to PQ.

Home - Little Island
Little Island is a new public park where all New Yorkers and visitors can experience nature and art in a unique urban oasis on the Hudson River.
littleisland.org
How about something like little island in New York.
More green space to compliment queens gardens. Could somehow link to Ferens art gallery with space for outdoor arts installations and a range of performing arts.
Prinny Quay themselves said they were make the ground floor entertainment and leisure, more food outlets. First opportunity they get and Iron Lillie's opens on the 1st floor 
So go back to the plan of ground floor entertainment, close off access to the shopping area but keep access to the car park and cinema enabling it to open at night. Somehow draw in some more eating, drinking and gaming places. Now the old town and Humber Street/marina areas are booming it could be a link between the city centre and those places, also providing parking for them too.
As for the shops (????) I've always liked Prinny Quay far better than the icy cold wind tunnel of St Stephens, hopefully if they get they the bottom bit right it may draw others in.
For those who say knock it down, what to do with the dock then? There's no access for boats which is a shame.

Got me thinking. Surely access to boats could be re engineered in this day and age?Prinny Quay themselves said they were make the ground floor entertainment and leisure, more food outlets. First opportunity they get and Iron Lillie's opens on the 1st floor

Another tunnel under castle st but for boats that would be impressive or maybe a bridge would be better.
It's been a long while since I've been there now, but The Gate in Newcastle is like this. 3 floors, bottom 2 were all chain bars and restaurants, with the top floor being a cinema. It was always absolutely rammed whenever I went (generally a Sat night). Think it was more compact than PQ thoughPrinny Quay themselves said they were make the ground floor entertainment and leisure, more food outlets.

I'd definitely knock Princes Quay down, although I suspect the cinema and Primark keeps it afloat.
You could do a lot with that dock, I liked the picture about of an events space or you could open water sports or some historic/nature walks.
Could be an asset, whereas I think Princes Quay is only ever going to continue to look quiet unless you somehow turn it into one big concert venue.

The bringing to life of the paintings was superb.
Thanks for posting D.
Early Hull is interesting precisely because it’s so vague. The name ‘Hull’ isn’t attested until the 13th century when Longshanks acquired it and gave it a royal charter. Before then, it (Wyke) was a rather insignificant trading hub on the Humber; essentially a medieval service station for people sailing up the Humber and Ouse to York. Even the name ‘Wyke’ is insignificant. It’s from Old English wíc (settlement) or Old Norse vík (bay) but these are usually suffixes in place names e.g. Eoforwíc/Iórvík, Reykjavík, Gipeswíc, Norþwíc etc. It may have been *Hulawíc at one point but only the standalone forms of Wyke are attested.This is one of the best ones I've seen for presentation.

Hull or Wyke isn’t attested in the Domesday Book but Sutton, Southcoates, Drypool etc. are. I think that video captures early Hull really well based on the archaeological evidence. A few homesteads and fishing huts on marshland next to the River Hull.
Awesome film loved it .This is one of the best ones I've seen for presentation.

State-of-the-art planetarium to bring the cosmos to Hull city centre
The immersive experience will give people the chance to learn more about astronomy and space exploration
You must log in or register to see images
The cosmos is coming to Hull next month with a state-of-the-art planetarium heading to the city centre. From Friday, April 3, Queen Victoria Square will transform into a gateway to the stars with the debut of a state-of-the-art mobile planetarium, an initiative designed to bring high-level science outreach to cities that currently lack permanent astronomical facilities.
Just out of curiosity I put a question to the Humber Bridge people a while back. Here's how it panned out.
Query - Why can't I lodge my payment details into your system and then the bridge technology simply bills me each time I cross? London congestion charging works that way, as does Dartford crossing. Why not Humber bridge?
