Description
The water chute on the boating lake in East Park is a Grade II listed structure built in 1929, with later alterations. It was designed and made by Messrs. Chas. Wicksteed & Co. Ltd. and erected by the Hull City Council Engineer's Department for the Boating and Open Spaces Sub-Committee.
The water chute features a rectangular brick tower with brick buttresses at the corners and along the side elevations, which are divided into three panels. The rear, or southeast, facade has double plank doors on the ground floor. The top floor has open sides between the buttresses, fitted with timber grilles. An external iron staircase rises up the northeast side of the building, and the iron chute, which carries the ride, extends outwards and downwards from the northwest side, supported by tubular iron structures.
This water chute is an important, rare, and well-preserved example of an early water chute or water slide.
