If you weren’t such a pompous jackass forever trying to point score the first person to brink beer into the replies was brady, I said in my first post that I would rather have bars than vape shops.I was responding to his post about beer. Upsetting that you can’t have any?
Big police presence on ferensway. Road cordoned off from the anlaby road junction up to brook street. Doesn't appear to be a road traffic accident.
According to Hull Traffic and Travel, someone is on the roof of the Hotel (they say Gilson's) and throwing stuff off. https://www.facebook.com/groups/hulltrafficandtrave/?locale=en_GB
On 1st April 1299, Edward I gave Hull the charter that created the new town of Kingston upon Hull. On the same day, he gave a charter to its rival port Ravenser Odd. The charter gave the borough a warden, a coroner, a prison and gallows, a fair for 30 days, 2 weekly markets, and freedom from duties on goods.
The same place I got that quote from says that Hull was one of a small number of places that had a temporary mint in 1300 to help with the increased demand for coinage due to the Scottish campaigns. Another article suggests that there were four forges in Hull, mainly used to produce local coinage/tokens. There was also one in Hedon. Does anyone have any idea where they where?
Best I can do at the minute. I've not read much of it. It's why I thought I'd try this place as a short cut. https://www.eylhs.org.uk/dl/134/coins-tokens-and-medals
Coins are an original source of historyand indeed very often the only evidence available. Their worth may appear in the most unexpected ways: in 1968, for instance, a medal with no apparent connection with the East Riding raised the question whether, and if so when, where, and with what result, a plant for the distilling of sea-water was set up at Hull in the period 1685 to 1700.1 One Robcrt Fitzgerald took out a patent early in 1685 for the distillation process and the medal, dated 1687, shows the substantial equipment at work, installed on an estuary this was interesting
On 29 March 1300 a number of places, including Hull, were named as exchanges with moneyers. Hull had four furnaces (compared with 30 in London and two in Newcastle) and was associated with York, both of them farmed to the Frescobaldi, who accounted to John de Sandale, Keeper of the king's Exchequer." The records of York and Hull were never separated and between 27 April and 31 December 1300 the two mints coined 17,316 lbs. of silver: by the latter date coinage had ceased at all the provincial mints except Newcastle. Mr. Woodhead, from find records of surviving pieces, estimates the ratio of production between Hull and York as 17:51. This suggests that Hull coined some 4,300 lbs. of silver, or something over 1,000,000 pence.
Volunteered on the Roman dig in Brough a couple of years ago and we were finding Roman coins from approx 100AD. Not sure if Petuaria had its own forge or the coins were just Roman currency. Did the local Parisi tribe forge their own coins?
I live in Sheffield ( never thought I would say that once upon a time ). I’ve just watched a regeneration plan for the City and it’s really progressive. Clearly finding investment from somewhere as the council is A ) skint and B ) ****. To me Sheffield is just a larger Hull without a marina and old town. I Miss Hull and the area, it’s always going to be home. I just wish there was some investment and flair to get it moving like Sheffield appears to have. It’s taking years to get the waterfront going properly. Don’t know what the answer is maybe there isn’t one.
No wonder they didn't tackle the guy on the roof. He's a ****ing giant. please log in to view this image https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/new...ews/man-arrested-after-rooftop-siege-10074223
