Hull: City Guide, The Buildings of England (Pevsner Architectural Guides) (Pevsner Architectural Guides: City Guides)

Brilliant - as are all these completely rewritten Pevsner Guides - check out Leeds, York and Sheffield. Although I'm not from Hull, it is a fascinating city that, unfortunately, receives poor publicity nationally. Let's hope the City of Culture will change perceptions. I've told many people about Hull, based on some of this material, and a party of four went for an overnight stay, and I'm leading a party of 16 to the city. The layout, quality of photographs and in-depth knowledge will make any future books on the city very hard to surpass.

Have lived in this City for 40 plus years and this "Pevsner" does a good job. Like the great original it has attitude and perspicacity.It fits into many pockets and is a source of increasing pleasure as the City i thought I knew reveals further pleasures. They got the age of my house wrong, but so what. Well done you two! And as this City enters what seems to be a new period of unexpected optimism the book is a timely source for architectural and historical focus.

Don't let the fact that a "new" Pevsner for East Riding was issued not that long ago - this is a completely separate and original book that stands up on it's own merits.Whilst not perhaps as in depth as a classic Pevsner, it is very readable and nicely illustrated, and has some very interesting walks too.It also includes sections on Hessle, Hedon, Beverley and Cottingham.Highly recommended

Superb guide to Hull; informative text, great illustrations.

Surprised these were not on sale in Hull, so glad I had bought one prior to visit.Beautifully photographed guide to local architecture.

This book is excellent and hopefully will show people in the rest of the country not to believe everything that the media portrays. Although there are problems of deprivation in certain quarters, like in most cities, I might suggest that people come to see for themselves before passing judgment. There is a great history and the people are friendly and welcoming.

I saw a good review of this boook in the Times. Living near Hull I fancied learning more about the city. The photographs and layout make this an attractive book to browse and I will undoubtedly be visiting Hull soon to complete some of the suggested walks.

Very good

This is a beautiful book.It is pocket size although full glos and so is a bit heavy but in a nice luxury sort of way!.

I got a copy of the Pevsner Architectural Guide to Hull by David and Susan Neave Yale University Press for a mere £9.
