The book Hull Pubs and Breweries (2004) by Paul Gibson has a picture of a pub called The Reefer situated at 4 Dagger Lane. The pub closed in 1910 with the picture shown taken during the 1940s

 I'm almost sure there was a pub in Dagger Lane about 50years ago.It may have been called the Black Boy

Hi Moira,

Is this the pub you're thinking of in the Land of Green Ginger?  It's the only Black Boy pub that I remember drinking in 50 years ago.
Hull’s oldest pub, dating from 1337, the Black Boy has been
licensed since 1729; it is situated in the High Street area,
close to Hull’s Museums Quarter and William Wilberforce
House. The Black Boy specialises in cask ales and fruit wine

Cheers,
Rena

What curious correspondence regarding 4 and 6 Dagger Lane this is! One pub then two pubs on what seems to be the same premises. The Society Tavern and the Black Boy. Why I wonder. And it is interesting that the later pub The Black Boy seems to have a more informative record.
The Society Tevern publican was Henry Fessel in census 1891 and evidently a  Ward Robt., victualer int he  1892 trades directory.
And then there is the Reefer at 6 Dagger Lane which evidently closed in 1910!

Ref the Black Boy in the area of High Street, Land of Green Ginger.  I've located the address in the Gazetteer of Yorkshire Vol.11, 1823

Geo. North, publican,  151 High Street, Hull.

Phew, glad we solved that one 

Cheers,
Rena
