Wilmington, Kingston upon Hull

Wilmington is bounded by the River Hull to the west, with Wincolmlee and Sculcoates beyond; Stoneferry is to the north; and to the south is the area known as The Groves in Drypool; to the east is Summergangs and the Garden Village.Ordnance Survey. 1:25000. 2006 The area is primarily industrial, with activities including recycling, aggregates, manufacturing; as well as sales and service businesses, including those service industrial clients, and the building trade.See also historical descriptions of developments in the area. §History Larger businesses and activities include the Robin Concrete Waste Disposal Ltd. plant,{{cite web| url=http://www.robinconcrete.co.uk/| title = Robin Concrete Waste Disposal| access-date = 23 July 2014}} the Stagecoach Hull bus depot.

Main roads are the A1033 (Stoneferry Road / Mount Pleasant) and A1165 (Cleveland Street) which run from the A63 Hull-Hedon main road in the south to Stoneferry in the north. The Hull Docks elevated railway also passes through the area. Crossings of the river are by the dock branch Hull Bridge swing railway bridge, and by the Sculcoates Bridge on Chapman Street at the northern and southern fringes of the area respectively. A former railway bridge, now a foot and cycle path, Wilmington Swing Bridge crosses the river roughly halfway between the two.

There is very little housing in the area, with the exception of a permanent caravan site, Wilmington Park.{{cite web| url = http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=221,105490&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL| title = Permanent caravan sites| work = Hull City Council| access-date = 23 July 2014}} The area has some pollution/nuisance smell/dust problems: contributors include road traffic, factories, and waste-management facilities, the former cocoa factory was also a contributor.{{sfn|Hunt|Brown|Steele|2007|loc = §4.3.2 p. 38}}{{Clear}}

In 1846 the Hull Glass Company was set up in Wilmington, on the north side of the street now known as Glass House Row. The company rapidly went out of business, being inactive by 1850.{{cite web| url = http://www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections/collections/storydetail.php?irn=873| title = Hull's One and Only Glass Company| work = Hull Museums Collections|access-date=23 July 2014}}

The Victoria Dock Branch Line opened in 1853, passing east–west through Wilmington,{{sfn|Tomlinson|1915|p=520}} crossing the River Hull at a new single track swing bridge Wilmington Bridge.{{sfn|Engineering|1908}}

By the mid 1850s development in Wilmington included the buildings of the glass works; a cement works and brick field; and in the southern part along the river a number of industrial buildings including the Phoenix Mill (oil), and Wilmington (oil and glue) and Greenland yards.Ordnance Survey.

The Hull and Hornsea Railway opened in 1864, initially terminating at Wilmington station, just before the junction with the dock line,{{sfn|Hoole|1986|pp=46–47}}{{sfn|Sheahan|1864|p=671}} in the same year the Victoria Dock Branch Line, excluding the River Hull bridge, was doubled.{{sfn|Tomlinson|1915|p=612}}{{sfn|Engineering|1908}} Sidings south of the junction between the Hull–Hornsea, and Victoria Dock Branch lines developed from a coal drops and a single siding in the mid 19th centuries, to a full goods station, Wilmington goods by the beginning of the 20th.Ordnance Survey. 1:1056 First edition, 1:2500 1893 & 1910

In 1866 Earle's Cement acquired the cement works on the near the river bank and land south of the Victoria Dock Branch Line; the works was connected by rail sidings to the dock branch. Production was around 3000t pa of Roman cement in 1870. From 1875 bottle kilns were constructed for the production of Portland cement, with a capacity of 38t per week by around 1882. From 1888 chamber kilns were installed, with 28 in total by 1898 with a total capacity of 980t per week. The first two Rotary kilns were installed in 1906, adding a capacity of 860t per week. Further rotary kilns were added in 1912 and 1920, by which time the location of the plant was seen as non-optimal, Earle's large plant in Hope, Derbyshire being preferred.{{cite web| url= http://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_wilmington.html| work = www.cementkilns.co.uk|first = Dylan| last = Moore| year =2011| title = Wilmington |access-date=23 July 2014}}
