About
A short self-guided walk around Hull's Old Town following the life of William Wilberforce, from his birthplace at Wilberforce House to the Wilberforce Monument by Queens Gardens. The nine stops include Market Place, Hull Minster where he was baptised, the old Grammar School, Trinity House and the Guildhall. The map has a short note at each stop, so it works well for older children.
