Drawing on extensive archival research, Gillett and MacMahon present a richly detailed account of Hull's economic, social, and political evolution, tracing how the city's fortunes were shaped by its commanding position on the Humber estuary and its role as a gateway for trade and commerce. The authors illustrate how Hull's maritime identity permeated every aspect of civic life, from the rise of its merchant classes to the growth of its fishing and whaling industries. Written with scholarly authority yet remaining accessible to the general reader, the narrative also details the city's turbulent political history, its experiences during wartime, and the resilience of its communities in the face of adversity. This authoritative volume stands as the definitive reference work for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of Hull's past and its enduring place in the story of British urban history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839394230491,"sku":"2026770000265-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8e5cd57d-3c2d-4cd0-a730-52e1052b11cd.png?v=1780561575","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000265-secondhand-a-history-of-hull","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
