They appear on the 1853 map of Hull as a small courtyard of 3 houses reached through a passage on the north side of the eastern part of Humber Street.  ;D

Sadly long since gone, if it wasn't cleared in the slum clearance it was obliterated by the Luftwaffe. Just wasteland now I think.

Thanks - perhaps will be able to find on old drawings of the area.  Would be most interested in how the buildings were used as ancestor emigrated from Norway and it was his address for a few years,

Part of an old map - showing Simpsons Buildings, below right of Spencer's Entry, which is easier to see!

As everyone says, it was off Humber Street, quite near to where the Humber Tavern once stood.

There is also this site which has some old pictures of Humber Street http://www.yorkshirehistory.com/pubs_H.htm

Best wishes,
