About

The Drypool and Victoria Dock area sits on the eastern bank of the River Hull, where it meets the Humber Estuary. Historically a core part of Hull's maritime and industrial heart, the landscape is defined by waterways, old dock walls, and converted warehouses. The area functions as a mixed residential and light industrial zone, with modern apartment developments alongside commercial units and boat repair yards. It is a practical, working part of the city's port infrastructure.

A key feature is the tidal barrier on the River Hull, a major flood defence mechanism. The Deep, a prominent aquarium and research centre shaped like a ship's bow, is a landmark on the old Victoria Dock site. Public spaces are linear and functional, following the water's edge, with paths connecting to the city centre via Scale Lane footbridge. The atmosphere is shaped by the constant movement of water and river traffic.
