YORKSHIRE (EAST) - Hull, Olde Black Boy National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors Part One 150 High Street, Hull, HU1 1PS Tel: 01482 326516 Web site: yeoldeblackboy.weebly.com Opening Hours: Mon, Tue open 5.30 to 11.30; Wed to Sun 12.30 to 11.30 (12 Fri, Sat) Draught Beer & Cider: Real ales Public Transport: Railway Station: Hull Listed Status: Grade II Rare survivor of the many pubs that once lined old Hull’s principal thoroughfare. This premises has had many uses over the years, including tobacco dealing (traditionally symbolised by an Indian Chief - ‘black boy’!) but the key interest lies in its transition from Victorian wine merchant’s to pub, and the 1926 refitting, by T Linsey & Co, which retained much of the former’s layout;- the old office becoming the front smoke room, the warehouse becoming the rear bar, and the cosy upstairs rooms continuing their function for meetings. Original fittings from 1926 include the downstairs panelling (that upstairs is more recent), bar-counters, and front fire surround. Threats of alterations in 2001 were averted following CAMRA’s successful application for statutory listing. |
