In fact, there is a full range of amenities for keeping fit in the area, including the historic East Hull Baths, which date back to 1863, and Woodford Leisure Centre, which offers a variety of activities, from squash and swimming to a full fitness suite.
Other facilities include banks and post offices, alongside a range of shops, including gift and clothing stores, florists and bakers, and newsagents.
There are the amenities provided by Holderness Road Customer Service Centre, which includes advice, alongside the opportunity to pay housing rent and council tax and a library.
On a historical note, the area has been the birthplace of famous city figures, such as Joseph Rank, who helped build the food empire Rank Hovis McDougall, born in March 1854 at his father's flour mill in Holderness Road.
Rank's son, J Arthur, would become just as well known in his own right by founding the Rank Organisation, which produced many popular films, such as the Carry On series.
The Rank mill is one of the many historical features that remains on the road and is now in use as a pub.
