Like every town everywhere it has its bad parts, but the people are warm big hearted and the centre is lovely and so much has been done to it after the blitzing it got during the war. Hull is a town of flowers, the gardens in the centre are just wonderful and some of the roads leading into Hull especially the one from the Humber Bridge are a riot of colour and has beautiful weeping willow trees along the way. True it has suffered badly when the fishing industry died but its a tryer! I love going back visiting my relatives.
LOL - I was going to nominate Slough too! It's one big industrial park - the rest of it is an afterthought. Even the name, short of course for Slough of Despondency :-), sounds depressing, the way you don't so much say it as let it fall out of your mouth.
As a confirmed Southerner, I don't know enough about Northern towns to comment on Hull or any others, but other Southern places I'd give "honourable" mentions to in the crap stakes are Dagenham, Basingstoke and Aldershot. Actually, Aldershot isn't so much "crap" as "terrifying".

Answer to In a Pickle, not sure why Hull was never referred to as Kingston upon Hull, (except on Letter Headings and official documents etc), perhaps its because we are not posh in Hull, just down to earth. I agree with you about the fair, though its shrunk in recent years due to the New Sports Stadium taking over much of the ground.
