The City That Defied a King: The Entire History of Hull (AI Reconstruction)

A port city that refused a king and ignited civil war. The home of the man who broke slavery's chains. A maritime empire of whalers and trawlers, then one of Britain's most devastated targets in the Blitz—yet erased from wartime records. This is Hull's complete story, from medieval wool port to City of Culture. This documentary uses AI-assisted reconstruction to visualize Hull's architectural and urban evolution across eight centuries. All historical facts are sourced from academic research and period records.
