Commencement of the Hull, Barnsley, and West Riding Railway and Dock - views in Hull, 1881. Engravings from photographs by Messrs. W. J. Wellsted and Son. '1. Market-place, with King William III.'s Statue. 2. Statue of Queen Victoria in the Park. 3. Park Gate. 4. Princess Dock, with the Dock Office and the Wilberforce Monument. 5. Townhall, in Lowgate. 6. Holy Trinity Church (West View)...The town itself is not very pretty, but has several good buildings, two or three of which are shown in our Illustrations. The Dock Office, situated between the Queen's and the Junction Dock, is a handsome Italian edifice, with domed towers...But the finest building is the Town-hall, in Lowgate, designed, like that of Leeds, by Mr. Cuthbert Broderick. It is of Italian architecture, with a stately clock-tower, and with gilt balcony railings, which contrast fairly with the rich-coloured stone...In the Market-place stands the Dutch-gilt statue of King William III. on horseback, by Scheemaker, which is an artistic curiosity. Here also is the noble old Gothic Church of the Holy Trinity, the largest parish church in England, of mixed Decorated and Perpendicular architectural styles...The restorations, of course by Sir Gilbert Scott, have lately cost £30,000'. From Illustrated London News", 1881.
