City of Kingston upon Hull

Kingston upon Hull, usually shortened to Hull, is a city of about 250,000 inhabitants located on the northern bank of the Humber estuary in northern England. It is a major port as well as a trading and manufacturing centre which grew rapidly in the nineteenth century, becoming  one of the largest points of entry for immigrants from Europe, most of whom travelled on to America via Liverpool or Southampton.

Hull has been a unitary authority since 1996.  Prior to then, it was a district of the now defunct administrative county of Humberside, which had been formed in 1974. After the abolition of Humberside in 1996, Hull was placed for ceremonial purposes in the county of the East Riding of Yorkshire, having been a county borough in the East Riding until 1974.

The Hull Jewish Community

The Hull Jewish community dates back to at least 1766, when the first recorded Jew settled in the city. (The claim of a seventeenth century synagogue has been largely discounted by historians, including Israel Finestein.) By the 1780s, six or seven Jewish resident families sustained a regular minyan and place of worship. In 1826 the Hull Hebrew congregation was formed by the amalgamation of the original congregation and a secessionist group which had been formed in 1809.

The advent of regular steamboat sailings from Hamburg and Holland from the 1830s, increased the number of Jewish immigrants arriving at Hull port and although only a small proportion stayed the community grew to 200 by 1835. Hull became the religious centre for Jewish families from York, Scarborough, Boston and Louth. Traces of mass immigration through Hull from the 1880s can be found at Hull's Paragon railway station - where a designated immigrant platform and waiting rooms can still be seen. The site of a former Kosher hotel in the old town is marked by a blue plaque. Despite its small size and post war decline, the Hull Jewish community made an outstanding contribution to the life of the city over many decades. 

Jewish Congregations


The following are the Jewish congregations that exist or existed in Hull:

* An active congregation.

# The claim of a seventeenth century synagogue at Daggers Lane has now been largely discounted by historians.

Further Background:

In the late 18th/early 19th centuries, synagogues were established in Postergate and Parade Road, which merged in 1824 to form the Hull (Old) Hebrew Congregation, from which Hull's Western Synagogue split from in 1903.  The Hull Central Synagogue was in existence from 1886 to 1976.  Small short-lived congregations were founded in the late 19th century in Great Thornton Street, Nile Street and Prince Street. In 1928, the New Hebrew Congregation was formed on the merger of the Hull Beth Hamedrash, Great Passage Street (founded about 1910) and the Adelaide Road Synagogue (founded about 1926), but which became defunct in the early 1940s.  The Reform congregation dates back to the mid-1960's.  In 1994, the Hull Old Hebrew Congregation reunited with the Hull Western Synagogue to form the Hull Hebrew Congregation, the sole remaining orthodox congregation in the city.

The following are former or alternative names of the above congregations:

 

Hull's Communal Rabbis

In September 1956, the Hull Jewish community decided to appoint a communal rabbi for the community's then existing three orthodox congregations. (See Jewish Chronicle press report of September 1956 reporting on the induction of the first communal rabbi.)

The following were Hull's communal rabbis:

Hull Jewish Cemeteries Information
(for records on the ALL-UK Database, see above)


Hull had definitely six, and probably  as many as eights, Jewish cemeteries (one Reform and the remainder Orthodox), as listed below. For details see the JCR-UK article Hull's Six Jewish Cemeteries by David Lewis.

  • Dagger Lane Burial Ground. In 1774, when the Hull Town fortifications were levelled, human remains, all facing east, were found together with various Jewish artefacts just inside the town walls, close to the former seventeenth century Dagger Lane synagogue, indicating the existence of an old Jewish burial ground.

  • Villa Place Cemetery. This was the first Jewish cemetery, in what was previously known the Manor of Myton and Tupcoates (today off Walker Street, Hull). It was in use from about 1780 until 1812 and held approximately 50 burials.

  • Hessle Road Cemetery, (formerly Patrick's Ground Lane), near Ropery Street. It was in use from 1812 until 1858 and had room for some 120 graves, although it is believed that only about 75 were used.

  • (It is considered likely that there was another Jewish cemetery in use at the same time as the Hessle Street Cemetery, but its whereabouts are unknown.)

  • Delhi Street Cemetery, at the corner with Hedon Road. This has been in use since 1858 and contains over 1,250 burials. The northern section was a separate Jewish cemetery used by Hull's Western Synagogue from 1903 (when that congregation split from the then Hull Hebrew Congregation which became the Hull Old Hebrew Congregation) until both congregations were reunited in 1993 as the Hull Hebrew Congregation.

  • Ella Street Cemetery, in the Avenue area of Hull. This has been in use since 1889. It started life as a private burial ground of the Fischhoff family and was acquired by Hull's Central Synagogue. It was also used by Hull's New Hebrew Congregation from 1928 to 1941. It is now a cemetery of the Hull Hebrew Congregation.

  • Marfleet Cemetery. This is a cemetery of the Hull Hebrew Congregation, having initially been established in 1935 by Hull Old Hebrew Congregation. It contained over 450 burials (as of 2005). A new ohel was opened here by Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis in March 2017.

  • Tranby Lane Reform Jewish Cemetery, Anlaby. This is the Jewish Section of the Anlaby Cemetery and is the cemetery of the Hull Reform Synagogue. It was opened in 1975.
