Stations are listed from source to mouth as the water flows, traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers) and the Environment Agency’s own links between its gauges. A distance “by river” is along the river, and is shown only where the map traces the path.

Gauged tributaries

Streams and rivers with a gauge whose water joins the Hull above one of its gauges, from the source down. Named streams without a gauge that have a page here are listed at the end.

7 gauged tributaries, 11 gauges

Frodingham Beck

Joins the Hull above Scurf Dyke, its highest gauge, no more than 3.8 km by river above Scurf Dyke.

Frodingham Bridge0.43 m 28m agoNormal

Its water passes every gauge on the Hull, from Scurf Dyke down.

Scurf Dyke

Joins the Hull above Scurf Dyke, its highest gauge, no more than 70 m by river above Scurf Dyke.

Scurf Dyke3.10 mAOD 28m agoLow

Its water passes every gauge on the Hull, from Scurf Dyke down.

Mickley Dike name from the river map

Joins the Hull between Hempholme Weir and Wilfholme PS, no more than 5.1 km by river above Wilfholme PS.

Hempholme PSplace estimated-0.55 mAOD 28m ago—
Hempholme Pumping Stationstructureplace estimated1.64 mAOD 28m agoNormal

Its water passes Wilfholme PS and every gauge below it on the Hull. It does not pass Hempholme Weir or the gauges above it.

Setting Dike name from the river map

Joins the Hull between Hull High Flaggs, Lincoln Street and Hull Barrier Victoria Pier, no more than 4.8 km by river above Hull Barrier Victoria Pier.

North Hull Birdsall Avenue0.06 m 28m agoNormal
North Hull National Avenue0.23 m 28m agoNormal

Its water passes Hull Barrier Victoria Pier and every gauge below it on the Hull. It does not pass Hull High Flaggs, Lincoln Street or the gauges above it.

Gauged streams joining the Setting Dike

Where the Hull goes

No gauge below Hull Barrier Victoria Pier is known on the river map.

Tributaries and where they join are traced on the river map (OS Open Rivers, edition 2026-04) and the Environment Agency’s links between its gauges. The map holds distances between gauges, not the junctions themselves, so a junction is placed between two gauges, and no further up than the tributary’s own lowest gauge. Contains OS data © Crown copyright and database rights 2026.

Streams without a gauge

Named streams on the river map that flow into the Hull and have no gauge of their own. Each has a page with what is known about it: the next gauge downstream, and any storm overflows or water-sampling points placed on it.

Storm overflows upstream

6 storm overflows are traced upstream of Hull Barrier Victoria Pier, the Hull’s lowest gauge on the river map: on the Hull itself, on its gauged tributaries, and on smaller streams that join above there.

  • 0 report discharging now
  • 6 not discharging
  • 0 offline or silent: 0 monitor offline, 0 status unknown, 0 no live feed

Official figures for 2025, for the overflows traced upstream of Hull Barrier Victoria Pier: 95 spills over 1,113 hours in total, across all 6.

Each overflow is listed in the stretch above the first gauge its water reaches, from the source down, as on the Gauges tab. A stretch of the Hull includes the smaller streams that join it there.

A status is the water company’s own monitor: it says whether an overflow is discharging, never how much or why, and a spill does not by itself explain a change in a river level. A status older than two hours is shown as unknown. Annual figures are the official returns: 12/24-hour spills for England and Wales, overflow events for Scotland (Scottish Water counts differently, so the two cannot be compared). “No data” means the monitor produced no usable data that year, not zero. Overflows are placed on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels: an overflow the map cannot place may still drain here.

Water samples

Dated samples taken by the Environment Agency, not live readings. Results are published days to months after the sample is taken, and many points are sampled only a few times a year, or have not been sampled for years.

23 sampling points on the River Hull and the streams that join it above Hull Barrier Victoria Pier. 9 have a sample from the last 12 months; 15 have any sample banked. Listed from the source down, grouped by the next gauge each one's water reaches.

Distances are along the river to the gauge named. England's samples only.

FloodRadar does not grade these results: there is no overall score, and official river classifications are a separate dataset. A sample taken downstream of an overflow does not by itself show where anything in it came from. River connections and distances are traced on OS Open Rivers (edition 2026-04), which leaves out many small channels.
