Statues - Hither & Thither

 

Description

The City Hall was built in Baroque Revival style by Hull's City architect Joseph Hirst 1903-09. The City Hall does not perform an administrative function for Hull's council, as this is based in the Guildhall. It is home to a grand central hall which plays host to a varied programme of concerts including pop, rock and classical music as well as civic functions such as graduation ceremonies for the University of Hull.

At the front facade on Victoria Square are four allegorical statues: two in niches flanking the main entrance and at the dome. There are also several reliefs we didn't make photos of.
