Hull has had a lot of attention since its year as City of Culture, but little independent writing about it is still going. These two are the honest count. The history centre, which holds the city's archives and the university's, blogs about what its archivists are cataloguing. The civic society, which campaigns on the city's buildings, writes up its winter talks.
They lead to the Hull Truck Theatre's history and the restored timeball on the Guildhall tower.
