A little bit of history hiding in plain sight… 👀

If you’ve been into The Mission plenty of times, how much of the building have you actually stopped and looked at?

Behind the bar, the pool tables, the weekends and the Sunday dinners is a building with more than 150 years of Hull history behind it.

The original Seamen’s Mission on Posterngate was built in 1866, paid for by Charles H. Wilson MP, who had made his fortune through shipping. At the time, Hull was one of the country’s busiest ports, and this part of the Old Town would have been surrounded by sailors, dock workers and men working aboard the ships coming in and out of the city.

The Mission gave seafarers somewhere warm and safe to go while they were in Hull — a place to meet, eat, relax and worship, away from some of the dangers that came with life around a busy Victorian port. Sailors who needed somewhere to sleep would be directed to the Sailors’ Home nearby, while the Mission itself provided recreation rooms and support.

Then, in 1926–27, the building was extended to create the Mariners’ Church of the Good Shepherd. The foundation stone was laid on 16 December 1926 by Sir Henry Samman, who gifted the chapel and adjoining rooms for the use of mariners.

And amazingly, so much of it is still here.

The huge stained-glass windows, chapel architecture, old brickwork, timber, arches and nautical pieces dotted around the building are all reminders of what stood here long before it became the pub people know today. Even the room with the pool tables has a link back to its former life — a report from 1934 described the Mission as having two billiard tables, along with a canteen, offices and the adjoining church.

There’s even another piece of Hull’s maritime history tied to the building. During the Second World War, after Hull’s Danish Church was destroyed by bombing, Danish church services were held here until a new church was eventually built.

After its days as a Seamen’s Mission, the building was used as a dockers’ club and later a Post Office club, before being transformed into a pub in the 1990s. Visit Hull records it as becoming a pub/restaurant in 1995.

So next time you’re sat having a pint, playing pool, eating your Sunday carvery or getting ready for a Saturday night in Mission… have a proper look around.

The stained glass above you, the old chapel, the ropes, fishing and maritime memorabilia, the brickwork and all the little details tucked into the walls aren’t just decoration.

They’re part of Hull’s story and part of ours. ❤️

It’s easy to overlook a building when you see it all the time, but The Mission is a pretty special piece of Hull’s maritime past that’s still being used and enjoyed nearly 160 years later.

How many of these details have you noticed before? 👀
