Historically the hub of a thriving inland and coastal trading network, Hull is a port city with a rich maritime heritage. Today, the city is home to one of the largest ports in the north of England and is the UK’s leading softwood timber port. With shipping a natural part of the Hull’s culture, it’s no wonder shipping containers are being seen across the city in more unusual applications.
From street food and leisure complexes designed to bring entrepreneurial spirit to the city to community projects using shipping containers as farms to deliver access to agriculture facilities in deprived areas, Hull is ringing the bell for creative uses of containers.
