It always amazes me how Hull gets such a bad rep from people who have never even been here. Glad you guys made this video as it may open up some peoples minds about our city!
Well done!
Berry Productions Yeah someone made a fake news report on drunk attacks in Hull. We only had 1 tiny one and they werent even drunk.
*Warpz* I know right
I'm Canadian. Visited twice. It's amazing. I love Hull
I've been living in hull for two years and your city sucks 🤢
I visited Hull last December during my trip to England from Canada. I absolutely loved it there and spent most of my time there. I'm going again in a few weeks and I'm so excited to see what Yorkshire and Hull has to offer in the summer!
Good to see you guys in my home town. Surprised you didn't cover William Wilberforce though guys, as well as the fishing, he's probably the most positive thing to ever come out of Hull.
***** Mick is an amazing musician, however, not many people come from Hull who we can say, abolished slavery
Also they didnt go to the deep which is quite important. And they didnt talk about James Reckitt who started what is now called Reckitt Bensisers
@@crazykids9555 True. I'm pleased though that at least that there was a good shot of it at the end. As the building is fantastic.
William Wilberforce..And that huge column with statue to commemorate him. Also his old amazing looking house. Totally missed! 🏴🇬🇧
I live in Hull, and I'm proud!😊
Craig Banks Is there any shopping malls there? What are the places for tourist?
Aljazih H we dont have tourists. Sorry😪😛
@@Cookie20244 Princes Quay, St Stephen's and Prospect Centre are good shopping centres/malls.
sameeeeeeeee
AMAZING! Thank you so much for showing that Hull isn't as terrible as people make it out to be! Hull is fantastic, and I'm never ashamed to say that I'm from here! Especially in 2017 where I'm sure I'll fall in love with my home town even more ❤️
Thanks for not saying anything negative about Hull because everyone has forgotten Hull even exists. And when something does come up then the newspaper or the tv just say bad things. So thank you so much😛😍😜
Never thought of Hull of being somewhere cultural - thanks for giving me a new perspective
These guys seemed to find plenty of cultural things there.
Daw Muerte thats rude I live there and u cant judge it if y haven't been there
Maggie Warburton 😾
Maggie Warburton thank ronnie pickering he put Hull on the map! Hes the cultural ambassador if not for him nobody would have ever heard of Hull
@@paullogan5240 oh even thow we have the deep smith and neths come from hull we have the only indpendt phone company called kcom hint the white telephone boxes and williom willber force ferrinse
I'm so glad you liked my city! It has a bad reputation in the UK as being a run down area but it is certainly up and coming and hopefully 2017 will give us the boost we need to put Hull on the map!
So glad you mentioned the Hansiatic League something that is often overlooked by people that even live in the city.
I was born in Hull & saw it's decline in the 70's. I eventually left in the 80's to find work elsewhere. I come back to my home town every couple of years & have to admit the place looked depressing the last few year, but the City of Culture has brought new life & vibrancy to city.These guys have done a great video to promote Hull, I hope the city can build on from the City of Culture 2017 & attract even more tourists. One omission is glaring, why do people who visit Hull never mention William Wilberforce, the man who abolished slavery. His house is a must visit.
Fantastic video really showcasing some of Hull's cultural gems. Good to see the city getting good press for once and showing that the place is on the up! Brilliant video guys.
Fantastic job, boys! My home city, of which I am very proud.
It means the absolute world to me that you came down to my home town and showed it off a little for your viewers. Hull gets a lot of unnecessary and ridiculously hate especially from people who haven’t ever been here. Binge watching your videos and stumbling across this video made my day! Thanks and keep up the great work! 🤍
Glad you did not just introduce the city but you've redefined this city for us. Never knew this part of England before.
The Chad Im offended because Hull did a big job in tje the war it was the 2nd most bombed in the country so u should know about it plus it was city of culture so ye u should.
hull and proud thanks lads great video 👍👍👍👍👍
I am from Chicago in the states and live in Hull. I have been here for 55 years and I love it here. There are hardly any murders as in Chicago and the general crime rate is just very low in comparison. It's a lovely city and the people are very friendly and considerate. I have never wanted to live anywhere else. Give me Hull any day. Oh yes, by the way anyone who thinks of Hull in a negative light I say come here and judge for yourself. You won't be disappointed. Hull is a wonderful city and I would not want to live anywhere else.
Here comes Hull down the motorway.
Hey guys, great video - really like how you seemed to appreciate the history and the people - nicely done!
There's a great tie-in with the Americas in that the anti-slave trade movement was kicked off here by William Wilberforce... Hull is usually referred to quite negatively, but has an intriguing and rich history.
Cheers!
Thanks for showing Hull in a good light and glad you had a good time.
for once a fair representation of Hull. thank you for taking our culture in and enjoy your travels.x
Just late last week I finally, after nearly a year of waiting, found out where my British ancestor was from. And yes, turns out, he was a native of Hull, and went to Hawaii. Now I know where my future visit/trip will be, especially for 2017!
Good vid of Hull guys, its the second one i have seen of Hull being promoted before 2017. I have to ask why in neither this video or the other video, i think which was done by the The Daily Telegraph neither of the people visited the William Wilberforce Museum. There is a floor in the house that is recreated to look like the lower deck of a slave ship, that room used to scare the hell out of me when i was a kid, i still get goosebumps when i enter now!!.
Editing, filming, info - everything on point, as per usual.
I was born and live in Hull and proud of my City. I shared your great video on FB last year and going to do it again today - I wish you guys could come back to do an up-date now most of the refurbishments are completed - lots of great things happening every day :)
Once again you guys have made me want to visit a place that's never been on my radar before. But I've always been someone who would go wherever I wanted regardless of others opinions! Keep up the great work ☺️
I love in hull and it's not this good I promise you. lucky they got good weather!! it's raining right now.
I was at uni here 50 years ago (came up from the south coast) and, after living all over the country and in the States, came back to visit for the first time since then in late 2017. Absolutely FABULOUS experience and have been raving about it to friends and relatives ever since. I now live in York so I shall be back. Don't knock your hometown: everywhere has its downside and its rough bits and Hull has pulled itself up by its bootstraps. You should all be very proud. And Hull is drier than many places in the country.
diamond lil Thanks that is very nice
Great to see fellow CZcamsrs vlog in our hometown! Captured wonderfully boys, though so much more to cover. Would have liked to bumped in to you guys while you where visiting here. Good work xx
Another great vlog guys. You seem to have a lot of fun together. Also appreciate the research you put into all the places you go. Keep up the great work!!!!
I'm at the university at Hull and love it, it's such a great city
✌ Mel ✌ Im going starting the Uni this year, Hows is the city? Honest opinion. Is it beautiful and Is the university fantastic?
Yeah the university is great i enjoy it and the sports teams and societies are a lot to choose from. the city is average still quite a bit to do but not as big as Leeds but it is one of the cheapest city to live as a student, such cheap nights out ahha! and good price accomodation
a great video, thank you for showing the enjoyable things hull has to offer! safe travels.
You do some amazing research....great Vlog
Hi brothers, I have been enjoying many of your films, especially when I am familiar with some of the places you visit. Hull is my home town even though I've lived in London most of my life now and you kept it all in a very positive perspective. The 'little' detail I wanted to make you aware of about the 'peculiar to Hull' phone boxes....they're cream and not white!! An easy mistake to make which most tourists make. Keep the great work up.....Loved the Basque films also especially Donostia. If ever in London....
I watch your videos all the time and you've inspired me to travel to soo many new places , and now you've visited my home city , it's soo cool to see hull in someone else's perspective!
Dione Woollons same lol. always kinda thought Hull was a bit of a dump and hated living here but this made it look great lol.
I was born in Hull and now live in York (I watched then York video! I support the local football (soccer) team and I love the Maritime museum!
great to see Hull portrayed favourably for one... Will deffo be checking out your other blogs xmx
Proud to be in hull
I have lived in Hull for over 50 years. I came here in 1966 to marry a 60s pop star. Hull is a very interesting place especially in the 60s when it was not undergoing a "facelift". I hope you went into the Holy Trinity church in the center of town. It was buildt in 1254 and it has a roman coffin inside. A very interesting church and it is slowly sinking! Anyway I hope you enjoyed the city.
Nice vid of my City, it's got so much better.. come back and see us
Yes - one 'ull of a city - I've watched this a few times :)
U should head there again one day it's like a completely difrent city!
In a good way or a bad way
@@crazykids9555 bad
im from hull and live here still and my family all had something o do with fishing and my gdad worked on the artic corsair
Hi good video hope you enjoyed Hull I say this as I am the youth mayor of hull and am proud that people are enjoying it.
Watching these makes me excited to have English heritage! (Aswell as Irish, Scandinavian, Prussian, Jewish, French, Iberian, German, Italian!!)
Im gessing your ammerican
Took the train from London to Hull once and upon arriving was told "Ere be ull." They sure have a different way of speaking. Close by Ull is the river Ouse, pronounced "Ooze! So, as a kid I got the giggles all the time I visited and heard the locals say stuff like "yea, is ship went down in the river Oooze, ". ( I know, you had to be there!) 🤓. Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic video!
+Colin Hirons Lol its true, we do speak a bit different haha
Born in Hull and now living in Germany. What I missed is the Deep, Wilberforce House, Transport Museum.
Fantastic guys. My home town. Keep up the great work 👍
Simon Baxter Is there any shopping malls there? What are the places for tourist?
Yes definately there is Shopping mall here....
You can Check out, the Deep....
Humber Bridge!!---
@@Cookie20244 st stephens is the best but we do have a few more
Can't believe you guys went to Hull! I practically live there and it's great to see people saying such positive things about it- especially when the rest of the world like to portray it as a shithole so that even you start believing it too
Just discovered this channel - love what you guys do!
Fantastic video of my great home city.Thankyou!
Do u know Ewan kemp
HI GUYS .......I WAS BORN AND BRED IN HULL AND I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID NOT VISIT WILBERFORCE HOUSE (YOU WERE 50 FEET AWAY FROM IT AT THE TRAWLER ) THE HOME OF WILLIAM WILBERFORCE THE MAN WHO LED THE FIGHT TO ABOLISH SLAVERY OR TRINITY HOUSE SCHOOL THE OLDEST MERCHANT NAVY TRAINING SCHOOL IN THE WORLD.......THE REST WAS GOOD THOUGH ...
Terry&Sheila,s narrowboat adventure This comment made me sad because he is my ancestor. (William)
i live in Hull and i was born in hessle just outside Hull i moved from Hessle for a few years and missed the place so i moved back to Hull and i love it
My grandad who was called Walter portz was a fisherman on the Arctic corsair and we always go see it!
It's his birthday today, but he's dead RIP
Excellent. Very informative.
Went to uni there, brought up less than 50 miles away and you guys, two Americans still tell me lots I didn't know
You guys know more about where I live than I do!
I left Hull when I was 19. Came back when I was 27. Have loved living back here for the past 17 years. The city has the same problems most other cities do. However it also lacks prolific problems other cities have. I have lived in far worse places in the UK than this great city. I am proud to come from Hull, and even prouder I returned and will forever stay.
You should have covered hull fair
Libby and Georgie S it's only hull fair when it's in hull, it's a travelling fair and gos all around Europe
It's amazing you found 12 minutes worth of content in Hull!!!! Haha
How is Father Abraham these days?
Never knew my home was so popular 😂
Thank you for making my proud city show how amazing it really is!
Hull is where I was born I love and know every bit of it
Cool vid guys. I've been following vagabrothers for a while and the series has become bigger and better. Love the time lapses and drone shots.
Excellent video about my home city.
OMG i live in hull and I love it when you tubers go there
A fantastic video. Really giving our City a name in the good light. People always stereo type Hull to be a bit boring and a run down place. This video gives in depth review into the history behind the City and it's docks. I love Hull.
Culture in Hull! Nicely done, Vagabros!
Thanks for the video, guys. I'll be in Yorkshire in May for about three weeks and didn't have Hull on the radar at all. Now I will do some research and maybe take a day trip there.
I didn't think Hull could look good, but you guys did it!
Great video. Thanks so much for uploading. We in Hull don't brag or show off, no big need really. Not in our nature. But we are proud of our city and are so happy when people come and enjoy it. It really does have that 'end of the line' feeling, as someone once said ;o)
here I am, all the way from Instagram. great video! it must have taken so much time to organise
+Jacks Jamz thanks for heading over mate. Glad you enjoyed!! While you're here check some
Of the other Northern England Vlogs. Start at the beginning :)
+vagabrothers yeah, I will do. thanks!
Thankyou guys for saying some nice things about my home city.The rest of England like to put us down but you two gave a honest account..Cheers
FYI: British Culture and "English Heritage", not the same thing! Anyway I loved how you picked the most old fashioned museum and made it interesting.
100k soon! anything special planned for that?
my favorite youtube channel for sure. keep up the awesome work guys :)
+Karl Wiker same here :)!!!
There's a fisheries museum in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia that has the same kind of memorial (I guess?) of fisherman/ships that went missing at sea. Sable Island was responsible for about 350 shipwrecks because of it's location and size. I was actually unaware of that fact until I was visiting family last year. It's pretty interesting stuff!
Loved the vlog as always :) I have such travel envy right now...
aaand the 2nd pub you went to is actually haunted. 😂
When I worked as a fundraiser once I was speaking to a guy and asked him where he was from, he said "Hell, er I mean Hull" I once lived there for a few months so I understood the Freudian slip. I'm glad they are putting some funding into the place it needed it.
Great video , the right amount of humour , information and video , very professional ( here i live too )
Yeah!! - a great review of my home city - looking forward to next years City of Culture 2017 - sharing this on FB :)
I can't believe you guys where whe I live and I didn't see you!
I'm getting so giddy about how the steps I take nearly everyday are on CZcams, also hulls redevelopment is almost finished, and right now there's a wind turbine blade in Victoria square. Plus there's a new memorial for the trawler men lost at sea
Square pinapples me too 😊
I live in hull and it's such an amazing place I love it!
Great video. My home city.
This was a great video, and a great perspective of Hull.
I’m from York around 40 minutes from Hull, unfortunately it is usually mocked by people nationwide, known for being the trashiest large city. However when you see it for yourself, it has so much going for it. Since receiving City of Culture status it has really picked itself up in some areas, the nightlife there is under rated too!
I feel like I always learn so much from your videos! Thank you for working so hard on all your blogs :)
You guys know how to have a good time....interesting information as well....and im bloody English!
Where else in the north of England will you guys be visiting ? Yorkshire has some amazing sights and views x x x
hull is my city my heart belongs to hull 4 ever thanks hull for being my city
Hull and Proud cheers!!!
Didn’t show anlaby road?, orchard park, bransholme!!😆😆😆😆
They have a police station in Hull on a road called "Letbsy Avenue" no kidding!
That old man's smile at 8:33 😂
Glad you had fun in my home town guys
Haha that's funny, we think of hull as the butthole of England but it's nice you showed us all of the interesting bits
Celine760 Were the mouth... We got a crack opening for the drains. :) Its throwing out water xD
@Brian M and? I live there. Your allowed to insult your own city because your rly joking. But others can't insult it.
One fact: in 1969 three ships sank in various different places but sank together they were 60 people all together and 59 died 1 survived all of them came from Hull
Finally a new perspective
Love the Pinky & The Brain reference! :)
Hit up Halo nightclub in Leeds it's an old English church that has been converted to a club.
OMG you guys were 20 minutes away from me 😩
only 5 for me
Loved it!
Lol that's one thing I've never heard Hull described as before...
I'm from hull to thx for vlogging in Kingstown (Kingston)
Also that church is one of the biggest and mainest in hull
