Some 700 years ago, the first mayor of Hull was William de la Pole, a wool merchant who became so rich he lent huge sums of money to the Crown to pay for wars against Scotland and France. Today, his statue can be seen at the Pier. John Scott (soldier) (1570–1616), English Member of Parliament and councillor of the London Company of Virginia The grand building seen today was built at the beginning of the last century to house Hull's Central Post Office. When it was officially opened in July 1909, the ceremony was interrupted by suffragettes shouting, "Votes for women". Honest value for money. Thank you for a very pleasant experience.” And one that's just opened as a Spoons - Sanctuary, University of Hull
Records from 1639 show it held 50 pieces of large ordnance, 200,000 muskets, carbines, pistols and swords, 14,000 spades, wheelbarrows, shovels, powder, shot and matches. A further 1,200 muskets, 300 pikes, six brass canon, seven petards, 400 cannon balls, 30 barrels of powder and 24 barrels of musket shot later arrived the same year from Holland. Ivan's favourite feature of The Three John Scotts are the historical information boards dotted around in different corners (Image: Ivan Morris Poxton) John Scott (British Army officer) (1725–1775), Scottish politician, MP Caithness, Tain Burghs, and Fife
we are here for you!
Having twice stayed at Suffolk Palace during visits to Hull, Henry became the owner of Suffolk Palace in 1541, after the last descendant, the suspected traitor Sir William, died in the Tower of London. The palace then became known as Manor Hall, or the King's Manor. A January 2022 reviewer, MarkTAI, was one of those who failed to be impressed and said: " Not impressed with real ale line up, lots of handpumps with badges on but we were told only 2 were working! Food cheap and mediocre." As it is a Wetherspoons, the interior looks like any other branch: patterned carpet, wooden bar stools and corner booths. The Three John Scotts, located on the corner of Lowgate and Alfred Gelder Street in Hull, opened more than 20 years ago and not much has changed since then. TripAdvisor user KatherineBarr was one of those to praise the service of this Spoons: " I’m a coeliac who has never had any issues here over the many years I’ve attended. Staff are always welcoming and food is always lovely!" Prior John, Bridlington
John Scott (medical school dean) (1851–1914), New Zealand professor, artist, and medical school dean On entering, the public find themselves in a lofty hall of rich, dark marble, the roof supported two massive marble pillars. Facing is the counter of teak, running parallel with wall for distance and then finishing in modified horse shoe curves," the Hull Daily Mail reported at the time. "Leaded lights give a subdued but good light. The artificial illuminant will supplied by artistic electroliers suspended from the ceiling." Once upon a time you could have added a third great name to that roster: the Zachariah Pearson. (There was also the William Wilberforce in Trinity House Lane, but that never really felt like a Spoons', having been branded as a Lloyds No 1 bar.) Ivan said: "Joined by a couple of companions, I enjoyed a late afternoon and early evening in this well-known Hull pub. I think to sum up what makes the pub an attractive venue to a varied clientele, the phrase 'cheap and cheerful' fits perfectly.Today, visitors to Three John Scotts pub can still enjoy a sense of the magnificence of the former post office building, despite the loss of many of its fixtures and fittings. And, were they to close their eyes and imagine the world of 500 years ago, they might just get a sense of the place where Henry VIII wined and dined all those years ago. The names of Hull's two best-known Wetherspoon pubs trip off the tongue as smoothly as a pint of best bitter: the Three John Scotts and the Admiral of the Humber. HullLive reporter Ivan Morris Poxton decided to head there for a drink and bite to eat to see how it holds up against other Wetherspoons across the country. Armed with no expectations - no one goes to a Wetherspoons for a fancy meal - and joined by a couple of friends, he spent a late afternoon and early evening in this well-known Hull pub. John Scott (Royal Navy officer) (died 1805), warrant officer in the Royal Navy, friend and secretary to Lord Nelson Our research showed that in the 1800s Zachariah gave up land for the first free park in Hull and he was obviously well-known," said chain boss Tim Martin when he announced the new pub. "Because we do not go for names like the Rat and Parrot, we thought the Zachariah Pearson was a great alternative.”
