Great little fountain/splash area for the kids to play. The weather was great so wasn’t concerned about them getting wet.
The Victoria Square is right at the City centre; opposite princess quay shopping centre. Very beautiful and gorgeous edifice and environs. There are public toilets located at the square. Good place to visit.
Queen Victoria Square is in the center of Hull. It is raised up with seating round it giving a slightly elevated view of the city centre. Statue of Queen Victoria was designed in 1903 there are statues and carvings around the plinth. On one side is the Maritime Museum and excellent Museum showing the fishing and whaling heritage of the city. Opposite the museum is the city hall which is used for concerts and events. On the other side of the square is the ferrens art gallery both museums are free admission. In the summer there are dancing fountains coming out from the pavement. Underneath the square are some classic Victorian style toilets.
So peaceful and beautiful. Everything is close by.
It's a beautiful place, where you can enjoy yourself with your friends or family. Often there is public entertainment. Here was and Queen platinum Jubilee celebration, with multi entertainment.
Playing fountains? Yes Public toilets? Yes Place to rebel and waive banners and flags? Yes Place to have a sit and eat local fish and chips? Yes Centre of Hull city? Yup. Good place, worth visiting. Period
Beware! The Kraken have invaded, taken over the Maritime Museum, the old M&S store, even Princes Quay! I even think they maybe nesting on Monument Bridge. I think the pest controllers have been called, so the infestation should be over in time for the Freedom Festival.
The pedestrian centre of Hull, Queen Victoria's statue dominates, surrounded as she is by three trident yielding maidens. The Monarch looks less than amused at the collapse of her empire. The remnants are impressive, though. Behind her is the Town Hall, its facade is wrought in yellow sandstone. Roman columns decorate the grand entrance recalling another empire gone but not forgotten.
Queen Victoria Square is located at Carr Ln, Hull HU1 3RL, UK
