Gipsyville - Izeria

Gipsyville is a western suburb of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Gipsyville was established at the beginning of the 20th century as a housing and factory development and derives its name from a black lead product "Gipsy Black Metal Polish" that was produced locally at the Hargreaves & Bros company works. During the interwar period a large council estate of over 1,000 dwellings was built to the north of the original development.

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.

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.
