BLAYDES HOUSE

The MHSC's research effort is largely undertaken in Blaydes House, a Georgian residence specifically renovated and equipped for the purpose. Here, research fellows and postgraduate students are engaged in a range of investigations into the various ways in which human societies have used the sea and its resources – the relationship at the heart of maritime history.

Architectural evidence would suggest that the house dates back to the 1730s or 1740s and boasts a long and interesting history.

entranceApart from being a centre of learning and research, Blaydes House offers excellent seminar and conference facilities for hire to groups of up to 30 people. It is located in the Old Town part of Hull, close to the city's Museum Sector and retains the character of the seafaring age that made Hull a major port in the UK.
