Boothferry Park Halt railway station

Boothferry Park Halt railway station opened on 6 January 1951 on an embankment of the former Hull and Barnsley Railway to serve the Boothferry Park football stadium which had opened in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire in August 1946. The station was first used for a match against Everton when six trains ran the football service between Hull Paragon and Boothferry Park. The station closed in 1986 for safety reasons. The station was a single platform, 200 yards (180 m) long. It was removed in October 2007 by Network Rail during engineering work. Boothferry Park Halt railway station was one of several in England built to provide a dedicated match-day service to a football ground; others included Manchester United Football Ground, Watford Stadium, Ramsline Halt in Derby, and the first Wembley Stadium station.

Boothferry Park

Boothferry Park was a football stadium in Kingston upon Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, which was the home of Hull City from 1946 until 2002. The ground's capacity varied throughout its history, but stood at 15,160 at the time of its closure. The Tigers moved into the newly built KC Stadium in the middle of the 2002–03 season. Following this, Boothferry Park was occupied solely by supermarkets Iceland and Kwik Save, both of whom had opened stores inside the ground's structure in the 1990s when the football club was struggling financially. The first parts of the stadium were demolished in early 2008, more than five years after the last professional game was played there. The demolition was completed in 2011, with residential housing now standing on the site of the old ground. The record attendance at Boothferry Park was set on 26 February 1949, when 55,019 spectators watched Hull face Manchester United in an FA Cup quarter-final. This remains the highest-ever attendance for a home match in the club's history. The stadium also occasionally hosted England youth internationals, as well as a singular senior international between Northern Ireland and Spain in 1972.

Carnegie Heritage Centre

The Carnegie Heritage Centre is a grade II listed building in Hull, England, which was designed as a Carnegie library. Originally known as the Carnegie Free Library, the building opened in 1905 as Hull's fifth branch library. Andrew Carnegie donated £3,000 towards its construction. It is situated at the gates of West Park, and is unusual among Carnegie libraries for its half-timbered construction (although not unique, there is a similar building in Stratford-upon-Avon). It was used as a public library until 2003. Library services were then provided in a Learning Centre within the adjacent KC Stadium, and the former library had various uses and was then left empty. The Carnegie Heritage Action Team was created in 2006 to rescue the building and create a centre for local and family history resources. The centre opened in August 2008, and is now run by the Carnegie Heritage Centre ltd. The centre received material from the local history collections of Hull College when the college's local history unit closed down, and the East Yorkshire Family History Society rents space in the centre to house its research material. A bindery operates from the premises, and a variety of local history events take place including WEA courses in local history.
