Heritage Open Day: This beautiful church has recently been extensively restored and converted into a community and business centre. St Matthews Church (1870) is a major Hull landmark adjacent to the Anlaby Street flyover. It boasts the tallest church spire in Hull which can be seen from far and wide. Built of creamy white brick with subtle contrasting bands of red brick and stone dressings in an Early English style, it is the oldest and largest of the three remaining Victorian Anglican church buildings in Hull, designed by Adams and Kelly who had worked with leading Gothic Revival architect G.E. Street.
After almost 145 years of serving the local community, the church closed in 2013.
