I haven't been to Hull in years. Last time I did I visited that building that overlooks the sea. I think it's a museum.

Lol Dora. Hull overlooks the Humber as an estuary some would argue that's the sea, and the river Hull. I suspect you might mean the Maritime Museum which almost overlooks a dock
Hull is also 2017 City of Culture, which, watching things develop and grow shows a lot of potential for the younger generations.

Yes that's right the Maritime Museum.

Ooer, does that mean there'll be lots of interesting events on in 2017 in Hull then?

A whole year full.

Exciting times.
