Looking north-northwest towards the back of Anchor House and Hull Royal Infirmary on Anlaby Road. Convent Lane takes its name from the Roman Catholic Convent and School of the Sisters of Mercy, the first convent in Hull, which was established here in 1857 and rebuilt to the designs of architect G A Goldie of London in 1874. The convent moved to new premises in Southcoates Lane in 1931. The old buildings on Convent Lane were severely damaged by bombing during World War Two and finally demolished in 1954.
