Hull Botanical Gardens
Hull Botanical Gardens were established in 1812 on a 5-acre (2.0 ha) site near what is now called Linnaeus Street, Hull, England.[1]
In 1877 they moved to a 49-acre (20 ha) site in Spring Bank, Hull, but closed in 1889 due to financial difficulty.[2] In 1893 the site became the location of Hymers College.
The Hull Botanic Gardens railway station is a disused railway station named after the nearby gardens.[3]
