Earl de Grey, Kingston upon Hull
The Earl de Grey is a pub constructed in the early 19th century in the centre of Kingston upon Hull, England. The building is three storeys high with a slate roof. It had green faience (tiling) covering the front of the ground floor, which was added around 1913, decorated with Ionic pilasters. Cream-coloured fascia above the ground-floor windows featured "EARL DE GREY" signage.
The first records of the pub appear in 1831, when it was originally named "Junction Dock Tavern"; it was renamed in the 1860s after the Earl de Grey at the time, George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon. The Earl de Grey was popular with seafarers, being located close to the docks and in what was at the time Hull's red-light district.
The faience of the ground floor was likely added around 1913, when the interior was renovated by the then owner, Bentley's Yorkshire Brewery. The exterior of the building was given grade II listed status for its historic value in 1994. Since then, it has had extended periods of closure and disuse.
According to a local legend, in the 1980s, the pub was home to two parrots, Cha Cha and Ringo. A burglar broke in, and fearing that the parrots would alert the pub's landlord, stabbed Cha Cha to death. Following the ordeal, Ringo never spoke again. The two parrots are thought to be buried nearby.
In 2018, property developer Wykeland announced that the Earl de Grey would be moved to make room for redevelopment of Castle Street. The Earl de Grey's new location is about 100 feet (30 m) west of where it stood originally. The front of the building was disassembled and placed into storage in 2020. Reconstruction work at a new site on Waterhouse Lane began in January 2024 and is due to be completed in 2025, forming part of a restored Castle Street Chambers.

Ferens Art Gallery
The Ferens Art Gallery is an art gallery in the English city of Kingston upon Hull. The site and money for the gallery were donated to the city by Thomas Ferens, after whom it is named. The architects were S. N. Cooke and E. C. Davies. Opened in 1927,
it was restored and extended in 1991. The gallery features an extensive array of both permanent collections and roving exhibitions.
Among the paintings in the permanent collection is a portrait of an unknown young woman by Frans Hals.
Past temporary exhibitions included features on Queen Victoria and Hull – part of the Royal Collection Trust touring show (2022–2023), Ian McKeever RA (2019), Francis Bacon (2017) and David Remfry RA (1975 and 2005). The building also houses a children's gallery and a popular cafe. The building is now a Grade II listed building.
In 2009, an exhibition and live performance took place at the venue, to help celebrate the 25th anniversary of the opening of The New Adelphi Club, a live music venue less than 2 miles (3 km) north.
In 2013, the gallery acquired a fourteenth-century painting by Pietro Lorenzetti, depicting Christ Between Saints Paul and Peter. The acquisition was jointly funded by the Ferens Endowment Fund, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Art Fund.
In May 2015, it was announced that the gallery would get a £4.5 million makeover to enable it to host the Turner Prize in 2017 as part of the UK City of Culture programme. The gallery reopened on 13 January 2017. On 8 February 2017, Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall visited the gallery to view the completed refurbishment.
In January 2018, Hull City Council announced that a record 519,000 visits were made to the gallery during 2017.
