Its a shame as have been here a few months ago and it was ok," they added. The Cross Keys, Beverley Records from 1639 show it held 50 pieces of large ordnance, 200,000 muskets, carbines, pistols and swords, 14,000 spades, wheelbarrows, shovels, powder, shot and matches. A further 1,200 muskets, 300 pikes, six brass canon, seven petards, 400 cannon balls, 30 barrels of powder and 24 barrels of musket shot later arrived the same year from Holland. Ivan said: "Joined by a couple of companions, I enjoyed a late afternoon and early evening in this well-known Hull pub. I think to sum up what makes the pub an attractive venue to a varied clientele, the phrase 'cheap and cheerful' fits perfectly.
Today, visitors to Three John Scotts pub can still enjoy a sense of the magnificence of the former post office building, despite the loss of many of its fixtures and fittings. And, were they to close their eyes and imagine the world of 500 years ago, they might just get a sense of the place where Henry VIII wined and dined all those years ago. Ivan's favourite feature of The Three John Scotts are the historical information boards dotted around in different corners (Image: Ivan Morris Poxton)Ironically of course, when Charles tried to enter Hull to secure his weapons, he was turned away at Beverley Gate. The event helped lead to the outbreak of the Civil War. Like at any other Wetherspoons you can get your usual pub grub at this one. From fried delights such as chips fries and nuggets, you can also get burgers, pizzas, salads and curries.
Our research showed that in the 1800s Zachariah gave up land for the first free park in Hull and he was obviously well-known," said chain boss Tim Martin when he announced the new pub. "Because we do not go for names like the Rat and Parrot, we thought the Zachariah Pearson was a great alternative.” Grandeur: A picture by local photographer Keith Parker, showing the grand former post office building at the corner of Lowgate and Alfred Gelder Street, Hull. (Image: Keith Parker) Judith A was one of the guests to comment approvingly of the hotel offering: " We would definitely stay here again. You can’t beat it for value." The first landlord was Peter Oxley and he pledged to offer the best line-up of real ales in the area. The pub was also popular with the Hull Civic Society, which in 2004 presented it with a certificate for banning loud music and encouraging conversation. Some 700 years ago, the first mayor of Hull was William de la Pole, a wool merchant who became so rich he lent huge sums of money to the Crown to pay for wars against Scotland and France. Today, his statue can be seen at the Pier.The table layout and windows do allow extensive light to filter through though, and dotted around different parts of the pub are colourful information boards about Hull's history and the location itself on the corner of Lowgate and Alfred Gelder Street. As for the cheerful, The Three John Scotts is notably less dingy than most other Wetherspoons I have been to, the light spreading through the interior and a large, spacious exterior to enjoy the sunlight." Decor The house and the magnificent grounds around it encompassed a huge area now bounded by Lowgate, Queen's Gardens, Bowlalley Lane and Quay Street. The main two-storey building contained at least 20 rooms. Enter King Henry VIII The names of Hull's two best-known Wetherspoon pubs trip off the tongue as smoothly as a pint of best bitter: the Three John Scotts and the Admiral of the Humber.
The fortunes of the De La Pole family waxed and waned over the next two centuries. The 3rd Earl of Suffolk died fighting the French at the famous Battle of Agincourt, but his descendants ended up on the wrong side in the Wars of the Roses, the fierce conflict between the houses of York and Lancaster, and lost their power. A recent survey of Wetherspoons pub pint prices across the UK found that Hull has one of the cheapest in the entire chain. The grand building seen today was built at the beginning of the last century to house Hull's Central Post Office. When it was officially opened in July 1909, the ceremony was interrupted by suffragettes shouting, "Votes for women". John Scott (Royal Navy officer) (died 1805), warrant officer in the Royal Navy, friend and secretary to Lord Nelson Ivan said: "The clientele that were visiting on the evening I went this week were all adults but quite varied in age and gender - a far cry from the male-dominated experiences I have had at other Spoons." Overall, he enjoyed his time at the pub, concluding: "The Three John Scotts offers a pleasant, fairly roomy venue to enjoy remarkably cheap drinks in a central Hull location, so it's easy to see why it's a favourite for many."John Scott (medical school dean) (1851–1914), New Zealand professor, artist, and medical school dean
