Anlaby Road is the site of Hull Royal Infirmary, [2] Hull's main general hospital. It is an ancient route from Hull city centre via Carr Lane and crossing Ferensway leading to the western outer suburbs of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire villages of Anlaby, Kirk Ella and West Ella. Once a major Victorian thoroughfare, at its eastern end, it is the backbone of a district of Hull containing a warren of side streets with a high proportion of urban decay and run-down and slum housing in the process of regeneration. Other landmarks are the main depot of East Yorkshire Motor Services Ltd. (EYMS), the local bus and coach operator. The construction of a modern flyover taking traffic over the main railway line greatly altered the character of the area.
Anlaby Road is the home of Hull's Northern Academy of Performing Arts (NAPA). The building itself dates to 1904 and was designed in 1901 by Lanchester, Steward & Rickards, opening in September 1905 as a school of art. The Anlaby Road front has a slightly recessed centre with a pedimented gable containing a mosaic designed by Alfred Garth Jones and executed by the Bromsgrove Guild. Today, NAPA offers classes in musical theatre, drama and dance to young people from 11–19 years of age. [3]

In 1898 William Morton's Theatre Royal showed a 'Veriscope' film, probably the first time any film was shown in a Hull theatre. The Prince's Hall was the first purpose-built cinema in Kingston upon Hull, and was opened in George Street by Morton in 1910. As Hull embraced the new age of public entertainment, attendances at traditional theatre declined. Luxurious cinemas, taking their inspiration from theatres and music halls, were built to accommodate audiences in almost every neighbourhood in the city. By 1914, there were 29 cinemas, theatres and halls showing films in the city. The London and Provincial Cinema Company owned the Hippodrome; the National Electric Picture Theatres owned the Theatre de Luxe, but Morton's was the largest and most influential cinema chain in Hull.
