searching for a pint in Hull's roughest estate!

I roam the streets of Hull's roughest estate in search of a pint. Apparently there are motorbikes taking over and drug deals happening in broad daylight. All i want is a decent pint in an estate pub!

I worked all over Yorkshire with YW, Hull had a bad reputation but I discovered it was very friendly, I never got any grief from anyone not even on the estates. I thought it was very underrated.

[@joannesaltfleet2071]

In regard to those estates it's always the case that a few people spoil it for everyone else!

[@camptube7621]

Agreed. I grew up in hull. We know we are fucked but we are friendly.

[@SamP1ace]

I grew up on one of those estates. It always felt rough and there were some sketchy people but mostly people had warm hearts and wished others well. Lack of good education and public services have made it an underserved city. I still feel at home there though

[@skeletalwreck]

I love a proper boozer. Loads of great pubs here in Ireland. Although, that first pub I would have avoided like the plague judging by the outside of it. Funny though how it was instantly warm and welcoming the second you braved the threshold and walked in. Friendly greeting at the door, bit of a buzz going on inside, friendly bar lady. Little safe haven from the hell that. Cheers for this content. Subscribed. ✌

Yeh mate, some you just know are dodgy....some you gotta take the risk. Ireland has sweet pubs. Cheers pal 👍

@@heiltd1286is it still? I used to drink down there 20 years ago after my shift in a factory and loved it. But the recent gentrification round there has changed the whole area and pubs for the worse in my opinion. Only a couple of pubs I’d entertain now. Last time I walked past the fat cat it was full of daft women drinking gin and had two bouncers on the door! Big change from the pub it used to be😮

The phone boxes are/were that off-white colour because Hull had a different phone company. In the rest of the UK the Post Office ran the phone system originally so the phone boxes were red, like the post boxes. In Hull the town Corporation ran the phone system, and I think they also ran the electricity system. Just found your channel and enjoying it a lot, thank you!

I grew up in Blackpool, and in 2005 was living in the worst estate there (Grange Park) till I met my future wife on the internet. She lived about 200yds from the Drake on Bude Rd. Punchline is, when I moved to Hull my car insurance went UP £30 and believe me, where I lived in Blackpool was dire! But it's not bad at all here now.

Try Grimsby. As far as estate pubs go I recommend the Nunthorpe Tavern and The Valiant. Town centre has Walters which was the Pestle and Mortar or P&M locally.

As someone who's actually from and still lives in Hull, yeah.... it's pretty much like this. It's just an odd place, neither great nor terrible place, just..... a place..... Edit: To be honest, I feel like Hull's lost its identity since all the main business that Hull brought sort of died out and so its just..... here. Also the blue tower, is actually a block of flats, I live nearby another one, a peachy coloured one, pretty much up the road from the blue one.

[@MonsterJuiced]

It's pretty funny you wondering where everyone is. Apart from the roads, a lot of the council estates are quite sleepy places during the day. Livens up towards the evening depending on the day but everyone's inside playing games, getting high or at work. My mate lives near the Drake, I used to goto that school you went by it's called Beude park primary. You are in just one of the rougher areas one street away from where I grew up. It's not that bad really now but back then it was as dodgy as they come. Edit: Oh so you went to the Nightjar then lmao! My house was nextdoor to it. Back in 1995 there was this fella who every other evening stood in the beergarden in the carpark behind it and shouted "SCRAMBLE!!!" and threw his spare change everywhere. Sometimes pound coins but mostly copper, tens and twenty's. We all used to gather there waiting when we got used to it and try and collect it all lmao I can't believe I'm seeing all this it's real weird, nostalgic. It was weird down there though, used to be an underpass just behind the houses on the main road, I got hit by a bus on the corner there when I was a kid. Lot of druggies down there under the arch. Pedo's around that area a lot aswell (not an ignorant insult I'm just throwing out there either I know for a fact). Lot of fights breaking out all the time and houses being set on fire. I remember going to watch them burn down and walking by on the way to school. Edit2: Oh shit I didn't expect you to go around the back of the betting shop. I just got sudden flashbacks my heart is racing. That path down there a lot of bad shit went down for me. I'm glad I got out
