4. Victoria Pier
History
According to the history books, there has been a ferry crossing between the North and South banks of the Humber since the 14th Century. This particular crossing point, between Victoria Pier and New Holland Docks opened in 1848. The pier was initially known as Corporation Pier until 1854, when Queen Victoria left the city from this port following her visit to Hull, it was then renamed Victoria Pier as it is now known today. As it was operated by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway (and later British Rail) it was, during it's operative years, known as "Hull Victoria Pier Railway Station" although it was never served by any rail links on the North Bank.
The crossing continued to operate until the early 1980s when it was deemed to be no longer necessary following the opening of The Humber Bridge.
Serving the crossing in the later years were the paddle steamers Lincoln Castle, Tattershall Castle and Wingfield Castle. The latter two survive to this day. The Tattershall Castle is a floating restaurant on the Embankment in London and the Wingfield Castle is a museum ship in Hartlepool. The Lincoln Castle was broken up and scrapped following an unsuccessful campaign to save it in 2010.
The pier is a shadow of it's former self and much smaller than was originally, however it remains open as a heritage attraction and viewpoint more than anything else. Stages for both the Humber Street Sesh and Freedom Festivals are often held on the pier
2017
"In With A Bang" was the spectacular opening event for Hull2017 - a firework display billed as bigger than London's the night before, which was fired from two barges on the Humber, watched by 25,000 ticket holders from the marina, piers and quaysides. A further 50,000 people were estimated to have lined the banks of the Humber from Hessle in the West to Paull in the East
