Ye Olde White Harte, 25 Silver Street, Hull HU1 1JG



Ye Old White Harte was remodelled in 1881. Local legend, thought to originate in the 19th century and now considered unlikely to be correct, links the building with Sir John Hotham, and the English Civil War. The wood panelled first floor room known as the "Oak Room" or "Plotting Parlour" is supposed to be where Sir John Hotham and others took the decision to refuse King Charles I entry to the town, precipitating the First Siege of Hull.
