Thin red line


A few years back, when they were digging the Hull hole and generally tidying up the area around Princes Dock someone had the bright idea of outlining the old city walls (see the blog's title picture for an idea of what these looked like) in red bricks which explains these lines, squares and circular markings by the dockside.

  2. Do remains of the walls still exist underneath?

    1. I assume so, the Hull Hole, as I call it, shows remains of the old gateway so the walls might still be down there.
