Situated on the north bank of the Humber Estuary, East Yorkshire, England, The Deep is a fantastic place to visit. It is the world's first submarium, a futuristic aquarium.
The Deep, Hull's landmark Millennium Project, consists of four elements:
- A tourist attraction
- Business centre
- Lifelong learning centre
- Research facility
Housed in two buildings set around the aquarium, The Deep is well signposted from the Humber Bridge [On days with exceptionally high winds the bridge may be closed, so check before you leave home. ] (south) and Kingston-upon-Hull (north). The Humber Bridge (a single-span suspension bridge [The bridge held the world record as the longest single-span suspension bridge for 17 years. ] ) goes across the River Humber between the banks of Hessle on the north bank and Barton-on-Humber on the south bank. There is a toll [Current price at the time of writing is £2.70 per car each way. ] for crossing the bridge. (In 1315 ferry tolls were half an old pence for a man on foot, 1d for a man with his horse, 2d for a cart with two horses and 1d for every additional horse.)
