Where in Hull?

[Nick Carver]

Can anybody help me by telling me in which Kingston upon Hull parish the following addresses that appear in the 1881 census are located?

Mill Yard
Hessle Road
Berkeley Terrace

Many thanks
Nick

Mill Yard and Berkeley Terrace are gone now, and I can't help with those, but Hessle Road is a very long road, so what was the number?

Berkeley Terrace was off Buckingham Street which in turn was off Holderness Road.   
                                         
Can't help with Mill Yard, there where several mills in Hull at one time so I suppose it could have been near one of them.

No idea if Mill Yard is off Mill Street but it is near Hessle Road and it sounds logical.

In 1851 Mill Street was described as being in Holy Trinity, Kingston-upon-Hull, York, England.

The link below gives a map.

My gggg grandfather lived on Mill Street in 1841/51 when it was mainly populated by Irish Imigrants (including him).  Hope this may be of help.

Hello,Nick-I think you will find Hessle Road in either Sculcoates-or Newington.Good Hunting.Jeano

Hey Nick,

Don't know if this will be of any use to you or not, but my g g great grandparents lived at Oil Mill Yard in 1861. I believe that it was situated somewhere near Anlaby Road.

Best wishes,

Thanks for all the help. I've got Scuicoates appearing regularly on various documents, so that makes sense. Many of my ancestors worked in the docks or shipping industries so would have been relatively close to these areas and I am sure Hessle Road stretches for a long way

Hello Nick,

Hessle road is on the west side of Hull. It was the heartland of the fishing idustry

However, Berkerley terrace was down Buckingham Street (next to 49) on the East side of Hull

Mill Yard is not actually named on any of my maps guides etc, however all is not lost, I think its the Mill Yard that is now part of The Mill public house, this is still standing, the Mill houses are now part of the Pub, I remember looking at them prior to their conversion, I think there where a line of three houses, the Mill tower itself is still standing and is of interest as its the original mill of Joseph Rank of the Rank Hovis Macdougal company.

Hope this helps

Whoops, forgot to mention the other important bit........

The Mill and yard are almost opposite Buckingham Street on Holderness Road

Have a Happy New Year
