• Ferens Art Gallery, Queen Victoria Square. Large 'official' art gallery - good value for a quid a throw - nice little cafe inside too.

Magazine and Comic Shops

• Archeron's picked up a stack of old stuff. Dunno about how cheap or how good it is though.
• There's a comic shop on Spring Bank called Chrystal Books. There are at least two other comic shops in Hull. The biggest is Armadillo on the corner of Anlaby Road and Ferensway. The other one is East Hull Books on Holderness Road, this is cheaper than Armadillo but does not stock Marvel!

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
