    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.

    History lesson currently being given in the Council chambers.

    "Cllrs have asked for tweaks to the aesthetics."

    Good, once again a proposed development looks bloody awful....taste doesn't cost anything.

    The design is supposed to mirror the old dock warehouses, but I don't see it personally.

    The application was made by Castle Buildings LLP, which is a joint venture by Wykeland Group and Princes Quay Developments (Prinny Quay owners), but I don't think the actual hotel operator has been announced.

    Wild meadow flowers in grass verges, quite impressive (not sure of this is a HCC thing, but they just shared this picture on Twitter)...

    Saw this in the flesh (as it were) last week. It's wonderful and worth a drive to have a look.

    Same here. Earl De Grey was a pub you had to go in, just once, as a sort of rite of passage.

    There was a discussion on the radio a couple of weeks ago about traffic pollution and some bloke remarked it was strange how so many wildflowers next to where all these polluting vehicles were passing all day.

    I'm the same, we went in once just to say we had been, and never again.
