About

Drypool ward occupies a compact area directly east of Hull's city centre, bordered by the River Hull to the west and the Humber estuary to the south. Its landscape is defined by maritime industry, with former dock basins and industrial estates. The residential areas consist primarily of Victorian and early 20th-century terraced housing, alongside more modern developments built following significant wartime damage. The ward's geography places it at the confluence of the city's two major waterways.

A notable landmark is The Deep, a prominent submarium and education centre situated on the Humber waterfront at Sammy's Point. The area's history is reflected in street names and the remaining warehouses, speaking to its past role in Hull's trading and fishing industries. Regeneration efforts are visible along the riverfront, blending the ward's industrial heritage with contemporary uses.
