A nostalgic look back at Hull pubs in the nineties and noughties
Take a trip down memory lane to the daily goings-on in a few city pubs, some of which remain, some are sadly no more
Going down the pub for a quiet pint doesn’t appear to have been on the cards when most of these pictures were taken by the Hull Daily Mail down the years.
There have been gatherings for ferret racing and busy Big Nights Out, all captured on camera. Hull’s first Belgian beer festival was recorded, as well as one Hull pub bringing home the glory of winning the Music Pub of the Year award.
You might have been a regular at one pub when a particular brand of beer was on sale to mark Remembrance Sunday. Perhaps you reserved a table at another that was – and continues to be – popular for lunches?
Have a browse through these archive images and see if they bring back any memories…

But while the likes of Burton Constable, Burton Agnes and Wassand Hall have been opened to the public, South Dalton remains stubbornly private. However, there is a public highway running through the grounds which provides a gentle but lovely walk.
The road is gated on one side with a cattle grid on the other. To the casual observer you would not know the road is public. Read more below and view the scenery you can enjoy on the walk.
Starting off
Park up safely in the village of South Dalton, you can admire the domineering spire of St Mary’s Church.

Then you should head down West End where you will come across the renowned Michelin Star-rated Pipe and Glass pub/restaurant. Of course, you could plan ahead and book a table here to make it a real day out.

At this point there is a gate which you can go through to enter the Dalton estate. It is important to note you need to keep to the roadside. The grounds all around are private land. It is a bit frustrating as the temptation is to stride off into the fields and woodland to explore but this is not allowed. However, there are plenty of views to soak in as the road sweeps down into a valley.
