River Hull
The River Hull is a river in Yorkshire in the north of England.
It has its source in the Yorkshire Wolds. It joins the River Humber estuary in the centre of Kingston upon Hull.
The river separates the industrial area of the city, and several opening bridges have been constructed. These continue to cause traffic delays during high tides, though river traffic is not so heavy any more in recent years.
