Admin History:

The importation of timber was quite significant in the Hull's development as a port, and facilities were extended to accommodate this trade. Hull's Victoria Dock opened in 1850, and was extended in 1863. In the 1905 Kelly's Trade Directory for Hull, William H. Duncan of 15 Anlaby Road is listed as a photographer.
