  The Aspects series of Local History books is now an accepted and respected range of publications, which contains some twenty titles currently in print. The well established Aspects formula, which brings together a number of Local Authors under the guidance of a Local Editor, has once more produced a revealing and fascinating pinpoint view of history. In this case, the history of Hull. In this first Aspects of Hull, we celebrate the 700th anniversary of the founding of the city and visit Hull Prison during the 19th Century. The Hull Trawler building industry is examined, along with the Hull and Barnsley railway and the Tivoli theatre. The history of Education in the city, Wartime memories of Preston Road and the story of Hull's Jewish Community all contribute to the value of this unique historical view of the city.Aspects of Hull will be equally attractive to the general reader with an interest in the history of the city and the dedicated researcher.
