We moved on to OPE in the early 70s when a lot of it was still being built. It was the best place to live back then & as you mentioned in the video, it was very self-sufficient. With all the amenities we needed, plenty of land made into parks & football pitches, pitch & putt course, all shops that covered everything we needed back in the 70s. All amenities were plentiful, not to mention the schools for infants & juniors & two amazing senior schools, Sir Leo Schultz & Sir Henry Cooper, both built opposite of each other & separate by rugby pitches/ running tracks etc, back then we wanted for nothing in our very own thriving communities. These words are a quick skim off the top of how good it was back then... sutch a shame successive City Councils over the 40/50 years have consistently under funded it's upkeep, no one can blame the people for the sad state its in right now, sure some may contribute to it now but that's the price to pay for neglecting it's upkeep for many years!

I have lived in Hull on and off for the last 64 years. Having these gaps, meant on my return, I could see the changes taking place. If you go to any city, you will see sights like what you have recorded/documented......the graffiti, broken walls, litter etc. If the "estates" are that dangerous in Hull you must have been brave to have walked through them with recording equipment.......it's not just Hull, the country is ripped apart and morale is generally low. The demise of the fishing industry was not caused by the EU or EEC. It was due to ICELAND increasing it's fishing boundaries to 200 miles back in the 1970's. it became known as "The Cod War" as gunships from both countries clashed, and tensions between the countries escalated. Britain submitted to Iceland's new ruling, thus bringing the end of the fishing industry in Hull and all the employment associated with it.......thousands of people. St Andrews Quay is not a housed community, it's a shopping area. At the eastern end of the of the dock are some of the old buildings associated with the fishing industry, which are now derelict, including the Lord Line building. There have been rumours and speculation of what will happen to these buildings, but as yet, they still remain as monuments to something which was once a thriving, busy place, which the unique community of Hessle Road was created.....and dismantled. Hull people are resilient, always have been, and with new developments currently and forthcoming, it will rise as fantastic place to live.......economically and culturally. Watch this space...

Gosh how it has declined. I was born in Sulcoats right between the Hull Prison, the railway and the Old timber yards in the 1950s on Lee Smith Street which was demolished. My grandfather was a fisherman on st Andrews docks. Hessle Rd was always for shopping not residential . Our family moved from Hull when I was 10 years old but I still remember all the streets, neighbours. I revisited hull 20 years back and could see the decline which saddened me. While on Hereford St visiting my granmothers old house A man on the next st walked passed a pregnant woman was knifed her to death in broad daylight. Hull as known as a thriving fishing town and I agree the the fishing of the Icelantic was the beginning of the end of the thriving port. Sadly the Icelantic Cod fishing was to be the end of my grandfather too. From the long line of seaman in my family and all others who perished in the North sea I will always have respect. Rundown as Hull might be I will always remember it with smiles. Unlike the south of england, Hull nolonger has the work.

In 2019 it was the 4th most deprived local authority in England, according to the government. While it has improved since the 90s, it’s still a poor city with a crime rate that is higher than average. Travelling to other parts of the country it is noticeably poorer than most places (though there are places similar to Hull). I think part of the problem is that it’s been the butt of so many jokes for so long that people get very defensive of the place, but it does blind people to the reality of the situation. That said, I’m from Hull and I like the down to earth nature of the place in comparison to other parts of the country.

born in the Sculcoats (slum clearance) area 1966 raised on orchard park (and loved it back in the 70s) sadly hull was in decline throughout those years after loosing the fishing/related industry , the government paid skippers/owners to scrap their ships leaving the waters we still had to the French/Spanish trawlers in exchange for city of London (jobs for the boys) when we joined the EEC . an interesting fact many people don't know is that the jobs ratio, for every Hull man that went to sea fishing 14 shore jobs were created , this crippled hull economically as the city was still rebuilding post war having been the most bombed city outside London losing 85% of its housing stock .

Lol, just saw my old house on the bransholme part. Tbf, after living on bransholme for several years, it was nothing compared to living off holderness road where I saw waaaay more issues. Unfortunately we've gone through a period where basic public services have been stripped to the bone and social issues are increasing as a result. There are no savings to be made when cutting public services, as the consequences will cost further down the line in other ways. We have practically zero mental health services which has left people to essentially white knuckle their way through life where sadly self-medication is commonplace. This city has not been 'levelled up'.

I've lived in Hull my whole life with a few short spells elsewhere in the country and can honestly say that Orchard Park is the only place I never feel safe, even in daylight. The last time I ventured out to the Lord Line building with the camera, my mate and I had to step in to help a couple of teens who were on the verge of being mugged there and there's evidence of drug use there that you don't even need to look that closely to find. The group who manage that site need to step up and either develop/restore it or tear it down. It's been almost 50 years since operations from the main building were moved to Albert Docks and it'll likely take for someone to be killed there for anything to happen to the site. Great video mate.

I was born & raised in Hull & lived on Orchard Park when I was a child, unfortunately it has become dilapidated overtime, this is due to numerous factors such as funding for the council, it was all consolidated as one which was Humberside county council in the 70's which consisted of east riding & Lincolnshire etc, then was split into four in 1996, since then it has been on a decline, also Hull was a former fishing town which declined overtime, placing a lot of people unemployed & constantly looking for work. I noticed more so when the Tories had taken leadership back in 2010, they chose austerity over investment & people chose finance over industry, investing into the youth is investing into the future, unfortunately you will not see this been done by modern politicians as doing so you will not see the results for at least 10 to 15 years. its all about them & now lining there pockets. this is the score now, all I can say is stay focused good health=wealth, I've been around the world met a lot of cool smart people they have come to visit me in the UK & to Hull & they loved it here.

I know Hull and I'm pleased the city is being transformed. Some of the huge city centre bombs sites from World War 2 are about to be built on - the enormous one south of Albion Street and west of Bond Street is FINALLY being redeveloped, it's about twice the size of a football pitch, maybe 3 times as big, and it's taken EIGHTY YEARS for them to get round to building on it! The eastern side of Bond Street comprises that brutalist structure which is topped off with the huge K2 Tower, Hull's tallest building after the hospital - that is also built on a huge bomb site. For those unaware, Hull was the most bombed city in Britain after London in WW2. But I digress: on the subject of Hull's most deprived places, this is an interesting video. Had you made it 3 or 4 years ago you'd have had different results: the Preston Road Estate, before it was recently cleared and rebuilt, contained what was described as 'Hull's most deprived street' - St John's Grove. I remember a battered womens refuge on that street, evidence of large household items having been set alight and burnt out on the grass adjacent to the road, and a definite feeling of how the place was only safe in the daytime. I believe Tony Blair visited the estate when Prime Minister, it was described as one of the most deprived in the whole country. Go there now and see all the new streets of houses and you'll be impressed. East of there is the Greatfield Estate, referred to as just "Greatfield" by the locals. This is a deprived area and somewhere else I'd avoid at night from stories I've read. I thought it would appear on your list but it's not even in the top five. Greatfield is the city limits, it's bordered by the narrow Old Fleet river to the east, and then there's huge areas of open fields out to Hedon.

The original Preston Road houses went up in the 1930's and were pulled down 90 years later in the 2020's, if that's how long council estates last then the Greatfield area would be due to be demolished in the 2040's - that was built in the 1950's.

I was born and lived in Hull for most of my life. The city has some of the most genuine people you'll ever meet, you can talk to anyone anywhere in Hull and they'll give you their time of day. Hull is just another example of a city that was let down by their government. Thatcher was the start of our downfall, like it was for most other Northern cities. We had the biggest fishing and import dock in the whole of the UK. My Grandad was a proud docker and as I was growing up he would tell me stories of the glory days and how he loved his job. I moved to the US in 2016 and haven't been back since and I feel depressed to see what's happened to the city in just the 8 years I've been gone.
@jeffoliver749110 ай бұрын
I disagree with what you say regarding Thatcher and her part in Hull's downfall, the collapse of the fishing industry there occurred in the 1970's due to The Cod Wars as they were known - quotas were introduced in the waters around Iceland which meant British ships no longer has unlimited pickings in the area. The quotas permitted British vessels to only be allowed to catch a small amount and this destroyed the fishing industry in Hull, Grimsby and other places. Apparently if you went to St Andrew' Dock over the next few years you saw many dozens of large trawlers sitting there rusting away, this would have caused a lot of unemployment in the Hessle Road area. Also inner city areas were being demolished, this occurred in urban working class districts all over the nation, and people were being moved out to new suburban estates - these places were often poorly planned, with minimal transport links, minimal shops, and were located nowhere near any work that the locals could do. This was certainly the case with the new estates on the edges of Hull. Thatcher gets the blame for many things but a lot of it was a follow-on from things that occurred under Labour during the previous decade, the 1970's.

I agree, The City of Hull has been neglected by governments over the years. Councils have killed the city centre with sky high rates, either closing down businesses or moving them away to cheaper areas. We see mass immigration, the complete collapse of the fishing industry which was the life blood of Hull. However, there is an overall general degradation of this country, as I mentioned previously even the wealthier South is suffering ? look at reports of Torquay ? the Riviera of the country, drugs, crime, immigration. The same all over.

From a Hullensian. I live in Swanland for reference, but I have lived in Bilton, down Holderness Rd, Vicky Dock, Cottingham, Spring Cottage and Garden Village. Worst areas. The worse and by a mile it's Orchard Park. Proper no-go area, even the buses stopped going there at one point. Total Hell-hole. My paternal grandparents lived there during my youth and I detested visiting them. Totally different World to the one I grew up in. Next up, Bransholme. Would be the worst if not for its neighbour OPE taking all the weight. Then it's a toss up between Greatfield & Longhill. Then Preston Road & Boothferry are tied. Then there's cesspits like Anlaby Road and Beverley Road, but they're not estates and they go through a few actual different estates. The whole City is pretty grim tbh unless you're in an area where the houses are £300k+. Even then, you can be in a nice house down Newland Ave and it's still a terrible place to live because of all the druggies, plus all the infighting with different immigrants that were once at war and now expected to share a small area. Even quieter estates that were once faring decent like Ings and Bilton Grange have gone right down the pan now.

@@ukexploredyes but part of the problem is that that data covers entire wards, not individual estates. So you've got loads of footage of north hull Estate here and you're calling it orchard park. The data doesn't differentiate between the two and you're obviously not local so you don't realise that there's a difference. 'Newland South' isn't a residential area, it just describes a political boundary, and only includes part of the Newland Area. Bransholme statistics are a nightmare as they are distributed between several different wards and it's basically impossible to add them up to come up an accurate figure. I've spent a long time working on this. There are so many good areas of Hull and so many areas where there has been regeneration, so as a local it looks like you've pulled out all the worst statistics you could find, gone to the general area, filmed the worst things you could see and then sensationalised the whole thing. You've taken statistics that are about the night time economy and small pockets of problem areas and painted the entire ward as a terrible residential area - and you've completely overlooked the sense of community, the fantastic places to visit and, worst of all, you haven't mentioned a single good thing about it. So when people are saying, "I used to live here and now I don't even recognise it", there's a reason for that. I moved here 30 years ago and whilst I do recognise all the places you've filmed, I also know that you've taken a lot of things out of context. And what even is 'St Andrews Quay', other than a shopping centre? You're describing Hessle Road in one place and then the Great Thornton Estate. Did you mean Newington & St Andrews? Or 'West Hull'? Because you've just cobbled different areas together and described them as an 'estate'. In one of the comments, someone described this as 'slum tourism'. It was interesting, if rather infuriating, viewing, but I'd be inclined to agree. There's some good free training that you can do about how to use the Hull Data Observatory, that brings together all the statistics on Hull - hence I know that your statistics are unlikely to be accurate. You should also put the source and date next to the newspaper headlines. The dates would show that those things didn't happen in the same week or year, but over a long period of time. I'd be interested to know just how long.

I have lived in Hull over the years, and can make comparisons. I lived in west Hull where some areas have become run down. Without doubt the OPE was always the worst, but underwent a massive refurbishment which cosmetically improved the area. Bransholme was notorious for crime and still is. They began building Bransholme in the very late 60s and many refugees (a lot of it was knocked down) from the Hessle road area moved in, bringing that culture and customs with them, especially people from the fishing industry who worked hard and were used to living near the docks . But if you look at the country as a whole ? there is a general degradation spreading everywhere, even places like Torquay, once the Riviera of southern England.

Aswell as many famous others.Ronnie hilton , mick ronson , ian carmichael , Lord Rix , Sheila Mercier , Norman Collier , Sir Tom Courtenay. However David Whitfield didn’t sing pop it was more classical. A good singer

I always find it funny that in these videos of the “worst” places in Hull never actually see any youths causing trouble. Wish people would actually start going to places of interest in Hull. You’d be surprised

Just like any other places in the world then. You've found lots of headlines from many decades. The McDonald's shooting was 2016.

Why can’t the government reclaim the derelict/abandoned properties and sell them to developers? At the very least, clear the land and create green space and parklands

When were these videos taken ? I thought these estates had been regenerated. Did you see any signs of regeneration ?

They only showed the worst bits they could find on this video. There are loads of areas that have been regenerated but they didn't knock it all down and start again so there are still deprived areas. Each of these wards has good and bad bits. They just didn't bother with the good bits.
