Parliament Street is a short pedestrianised road in Kingston upon Hull in East Riding of Yorkshire, England, running northwards off Whitefriargate in the centre of the city. It is noted for its eighteenth century buildings and has been described as "the most complete Georgian street in Hull".[1] Authorised by an act of Parliament, the Hull Improvement Act 1795 (35 Geo. 3. c. 46), it was constructed to link Whitefriargate with the newly constructed Princes Quay dock.[2][3] A number of buildings in the street are now listed.[4][5][6]
