Where to stay in Dairycoates
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Dairycoates gives a traveller dock-edge streets and a drive into the middle of Kingston upon Hull, which works for someone with a car and a reason to be near St Andrews Dock rather than the shops. Guest rooms barely register in Dairycoates. The central city is the sensible base, with Dairycoates kept for a look at the Fishermens Memorial and the Hydraulic Tower and Pump House.

About Dairycoates
What are the main landmarks in Dairycoates?
Three entries make up the record: the Church of St John the Baptist, the Hydraulic Tower and Pump House standing close to St Andrews Dock, and the Fishermens Memorial at its junction with Boulevard. Two of the three are industrial. The dock machinery and the memorial together say more about what Dairycoates did than any guidebook entry for Kingston upon Hull would.
What is the history of Dairycoates?
The memorial carries the story. The Fishermens Memorial at the junction with Boulevard, and the Hydraulic Tower and Pump House beside St Andrews Dock, are the record's way of saying that this part of Kingston upon Hull worked the water. No founding year is recorded for Dairycoates, and the Church of St John the Baptist is the only entry not tied to the dock. England holds the wider chronology.
Where is Dairycoates?
Dairycoates takes its bearings from St Andrews Dock and the streets of Kingston upon Hull around it, all of that lying in England and the United Kingdom.
