Chapel at Hull Trinity House and statue outside east front, Princes Dock Street, Kingston upon Hull, 1941. An exterior view of the east elevation of Trinity House Chapel, with a partial view of a sculpture of Oceanus and a bomb shelter in the foreground. The chapel dates to 1842, and was built by H. F. Lockwood. The east elevation is rusticated and has four giant Corinthian pilasters supporting a plain frieze and pediment, with the east window in the centre. Flanking the window are pairs of eight-panelled doors with stone pilasters and rectangular overlights. In front of the east window is a statue of Oceanus reclining, sculpted by Thomas Earle in 1828. It was moved to this position after originally being on the Trinity House almshouses. In the foreground is a bomb shelter, with a north-east facing entrance, and the east window has been covered.
