| | GENUKI: A History of Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, 1892: Part 5. |
 | | Hull is a large and populous town, parliamentary and municipal borough, and seaport, situate on the northern side of the Humber, in latitude 53° 45' N. and longitude 0° 16' W. Its geographical position renders it a place of considerable maritime and commercial importance. |
 | | The town is entered by three railways, viz., the North-Eastern, Hull, Barnsley, and West Riding Junction, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire railways. |
 | | The three parks, which cover an aggregate area of 106 acres, are situated at the northern, eastern, and western extremities of the borough, so that, with the piers and promenade at the southern extremity, the inhabitants of every part of the town have ample facilities for recreation. |
