Between 1939 and 1945, wartime air raids changed the face of Hull forever. Second World War bombing campaigns destroyed landmark buildings and beloved public spaces, and also kickstarted an era of rethinking the city that would last for decades to come.

We’ve created this new self-guided walking tour, based on research, stories, and memories collected over the past three years of our project, the Half Life of the Blitz on Hull.

Using this guide, you’ll learn more about the buildings that ‘rose from the ashes’ of the war in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and post-war places that local people still think make Hull what – and who – it is today.

We’d love to know what you think. Please leave your feedback in the comments box at the bottom of this page.
