Hull Botanical Gardens, 19th century botanical garden in Spring Bank, England
Hull Botanical Gardens was a facility with diverse plant collections across extensive grounds in Spring Bank. The site included areas designed for research and sections for public enjoyment.
The garden was founded in 1812 near Linnaeus Street and relocated to Spring Bank in 1877. Financial pressures led to permanent closure in 1889.
The site was a center for Victorian plant study, where visitors could observe specimens from different climates. The gardens served both scientific research and public education during that era.
The grounds are now part of Hymers College campus and not accessible as a public garden. Visitors interested in its history can use external resources or view the area from outside.
Between 1881 and 1964, a dedicated North Eastern Railway station called Hull Botanic Gardens served the site. This railway access allowed many visitors to reach the gardens conveniently.
