Every Wednesday here on r/ForestofBowland and r/Ribblevalley we look at some of the other regional subreddits around the British isles, with the idea of compiling a kind of A to Z, this week weβve chosen r/Hull, the sub for the maritime city of Hull.
Hull
For U we chose r/Hull, the subreddit for Hull, or Kingston upon Hull, to give the city itβs full name, a maritime city on the north shore of the Humber estuary, about 25 miles upstream from where it meets the North sea. The city began its life as a port in the 12th century when it was used by the Cistercian monks of Meaux abbey to export wool, and was given city status in 1897, more recently in 2017 the city was awarded U.K. city of culture.
This new found identity led to the government investing over Β£1 billion in infrastructure and since then the city, which had suffered a period of decline due to collapse of both the main industries of manufacturing and fishing, has gone through a bit of a renaissance, with hotels, bars, conference centres and more being built and the cityβs student population climbing to over 16,000 due to the success of Hull University.
The port of Hull remains as busy as ever, handling over a million passengers a year which pass through to the ports of Zeebrugge and Rotterdam in the Netherlands, it has also become the focus for the expanding wind farms of the North sea.

Teignmouth
r/Teignmouth is the subreddit for the Devon town of Teignmouth, a coastal town situated on the mouth of the river Teign about 12 miles south of Exeter, it is a handsome little town with long sandy beaches surrounded by the verdant rolling countryside which makes Devon so attractive to tourists, it is also only a few miles away from Dartmoor National Park.
There is a Victorian pier in Teignmouth, Teignmouth Grand Pier, which is over 150 years old and has many of the traditional rides and games which it would have had originally and some more modern ones such as a F1 style cart racing track! The seafront also has a heated lido which w
