The Half Way Hotel, No.490 Hessle Road. Prominent and superb example of a large three-storey Victorian public house built in the gin palace style. Constructed 1874 for wine and spirit merchant J.R. Willford and designed by William Marshall, architect of the Kingston Hotel. Good detailing and use of red and 'white' brick. Extremely similar in style to the grade II listed Criterion Hotel, Hessle Road: Image Its name possibly derives from being approximately half way between the boundary with Hessle and the river Hull in Kingston upon Hull.
