Geocache Description:

Celebrating Kingston-upon-Hull's year as the UK City of Culture, the Hull Culture Cache series will take you on a whistle-stop tour of some of the locations that will host events and art installations throughout 2017. The venues are spread out across the city, suburbs and wider East Riding area. This is central to the Hull2017 ethos of engaging strongly with the local communities.


All caches in the series should be simple finds. The series is designed to show off our fabulous city and surrounding area

Some caches will contain a bonus letter on the log sheet. Make a note of the letters you find and the cache that they were found in. These will be needed for a future bonus cache

2. Zebedee's Yard


History

The clue to the intriguing name of this yard is in it's history. Until 2013, the yard was part of the Hull Trinity House Navigation School. Formed in 1785, Zebedee Scaping served as Headmaster for over 50 years in the 19th Century. The School is now an Academy and follows a more mainstream education, whilst still honouring many of its maritime traditions. Following the move to new premises in George Street, the main school buildings were demolished and the area redeveloped as a part-time car park, part-time exhibition/festival space. The 2016 Amy Johnson festival was based here and 3 of Amy's decorated moths can still be found here until 31st March 2017

2017

Zebedee's Yard was home to "105+dB" during "Made In Hull". Bright lights and a wall of sound met you as you entered the yard and experienced the roar of the Tigers at a home game.

A permanent memorial to the 6000 Hull Trawlermen who were lost at sea was unveiled in the yard in December 2016

It will also once again play host to one of the stages during the Freedom Festival in September
