Visit Hull and East Yorkshire Centre for the Deaf

This wonderful building was opened for the Deaf community on June 2nd 1926 – meaning for 100 glorious years is has served the Deaf people of Hull and East Yorkshire. The charity has worn many hats and shifted with societal expectations over those 100 years but it has stayed true to providing company, community and inclusivity for Deaf BSL users.

The building was constructed in red brick building, with Tudor-style windows, and included a church, built in the shape of an amphitheatre. At its rear was a 300-seat concert room, which could also be used as a cinema, and had an up-to-date operating box installed. On the men's side of the building, was a billiards room with two billiards tables and a bagatelle table, while the women had a reading room and retiring room. On the first floor was the Committee's boardroom and the residential quarters of the superintendent. At the rear of the building was a large space for a lawn and a bowling green. The architects were Messrs Horth and Andrews, of Hull.

Guided tours will be given, talking about the history of the charity, the building and its centenary.
