Hull Castle

Hull Castle was situated in what is now the city of Kingston upon Hull in the historic county of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

This was a coastal fortress built by Henry VIII between 1538 and 1544. It was the most northerly of these fortresses and the last to be built during his reign. It was sited between two blockhouses and connected to them by a curtain wall. Around 1680 it was absorbed into the Citadel and used as a magazine. It was finally demolished in 1863.
