Kingston upon Hull (almost universally referred to as Hull) is a port city in the East Riding of Yorkshire with a population of around 270,000. The city has been anchored historically by its port and fishing economy and today by Smith & Nephew (the FTSE 100 medical devices business, with major Hull operations), Reckitt Benckiser (Hull manufacturing), Siemens Gamesa's blade-manufacturing operations at Green Port Hull (a major renewable-energy regeneration), BP Saltend, the University of Hull, the Hull York Medical School, Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (Hull Royal Infirmary), and Hull City Council. The city is served by Hull Paragon railway station (TransPennine Express services to Manchester and Liverpool, plus LNER connections to London Kings Cross via Doncaster in around 2 hours 45 minutes), Hull Trains direct to London Kings Cross, the M62 motorway (junction 38), and the Humber Bridge. Housing stock is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces across the central wards, with the distinctive Hull "Avenues" area of gentrified Edwardian villas around Pearson Park, modern apartments at the Marina, 1930s semis in Anlaby and Hessle, and ex-council estates in Bransholme and East Hull.
