If you are interested in Hull Pubs, then this book, though now a little dated, is a must. It is structured around three "routes": the City Centre; the Old Town; and the area around and beyond the bridges over the River Hull. Its coverage of these areas isn't comprehensive; but it is pretty good. Pubs included in the book are indicated in the Crawl by the symbol below.

What you get from the book is a sense of the history of the pubs and their areas; and the love of the author for his subject.

Not everything in the book is up to the standard of its historical research. The maps are barely adequate for navigation: though it might be argued that they add a sense of intrigue and mystery to a crawl. And, inevitably, there have been some changes since its publication. In particular, a couple of the City Centre pubs are no more, or are now nightclubs.

On balance, this book is a fiver very well spent. Having it in your pocket will add greatly to your appreciation of the area and its pubs. I'm not sure how widely it's available: but it is certainly stocked in Hull bookshops.

If you can lay your hands on a copy of this Guide, do so: you don't get much in life that is both useful and free.
