Preston Road Estate
Preston Road Estate, also known as the East Hull Estate, is a housing estate in the east of Kingston upon Hull built from the 1920s to the 1940s by Hull Corporation. At the beginning of the 20th century considerable redevelopment of the estate took place, with a large community centre established, and demolition or modification of older substandard houses.
The Eastern Cemetery established 1931 at the east of the estate is contemporary with the original build. The estate contains few structures of note, excluding the large Archbishop Sentamu Academy.
The Preston Road Estate is the south-eastern part of Hull, east of the river, between the main Holderness Road (A165) and Hedon Road (A1033). It is located along, and to the north and south of the east-west running dual carriageway Preston Road, which crosses the north-south running Holderness Drain in approximately the middle of the estate. The modern Archbishop Sentamu Academy and community centre, the "Freedom Centre" are located close to this crossing.
The area is almost exclusively used for housing, excluding playing fields and allotments. The surface is flat, and consistently under 5 metres (16 ft) above sea level. To the west is Southcoates; north-west Summergangs and the Holderness Road; to the north-east is the Bilton Grange Estate; and to the east is the Greatfield Estate – all predominately housing areas. To the south the landscape becomes industrial – an ancillary area to the Alexandra Dock and King George Docks that also contains Hull Prison and the former village of Marfleet – the southern boundary is formed by a cycle path, the former route of the Hull and Holderness Railway, as well as by part of the Hull Docks Branch railway line.
