History of Hull: Watercourses - Cottingham Drain and Cottingham & Newland Beck

The path and history of two of West Hull's most prominent old watercourses, both of which start near Cottingham and ploughed through the city, and now are nowhere to be seen apart from in green verges and the shapes of nearby roads and buildings!

If you're anything like me, viewing historical Ordnance Survey maps side by side with modern satellite views will certainly eat up far too much of your time!
