the marina

Originally known as Humber Dock, Hull Marina was built in 1807 and opened to shipping in 1809. The rapid advancement of the railways linking Hull to Selby and Leeds, meant more trade was attracted to Hull and Humber Dock (Hull Marina). In 1844 parliament agreed to the construction of a branch dock which opened on Friday 18th of June 1846 and was named Railway Dock. These Docks were closed to shipping in 1968 and sold to Hull Corporation.

Over the last few decades Hull has seen an increasing number of bars and restaurants surround the Hull Marina.

Hull Marina is now central to many activities for visitors in Hull City Centre. From restaurants and cafes, to the Maritime museum, theatres, art galleries, cinemas, ice skating, and bowling to shopping centres and a lively nightlife.
