High Street, Hull
High Street is a road in the city centre of Kingston upon Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[1] Located in the city's old town close to the River Hull, it features a number of historic buildings. Historically a high street it was once the commercial heart of the port settlement of Hull – which later shifted westwards to centre around Whitefriargate.
It now forms the city's Museums Quarter. Amongst these is Wilberforce House, the birthplace of the politician and abolitionist William Wilberforce which commemorates his long fight against the slave trade and the practice of slavery. At the time of his birth it was filled with wealthy merchant's houses, many of them traders with the Baltic.[2] A number of buildings are now listed.[3][4]
