Hull Botanical Gardens Explained

Hull Botanical Gardens were established in 1812 on a 5acres site near what is now called Linnaeus Street, Hull, England.^[1]

In 1877 they moved to a 49acres site in Spring Bank, Hull, but closed in 1889 due to financial difficulty.^[2] In 1893 the site became the location of Hymers College.

The Hull Botanic Gardens railway station is a disused railway station named after the nearby gardens.^[3]
