Golden Light at the Garden Village

The Garden Village was built by Sir James Reckitt to house his workers in higher standard housing than was typical. The best way to see the scale and setting of this industrial philanthropy is in the late afternoon light.

    Stop for a late afternoon curry at Maharajah Restaurant. It is Hull's most popular 'proper' curry house, established in 1990. The menu is exciting and the service is ultra-friendly. This is a good place to settle in before the walk.
