The city has two national league Rugby League teams, Hull FC who, along with Hull City FC play at the Kingston Communications Stadium and Hull Kingston Rovers playing at ‘New’ Craven Park.
Hull is the only city in the UK with its own independent telephone network company, Kingston Communications, with distinctive cream telephone boxes. Formed in the 1910s as a municipal department by the City Council it remains the only locally-operated telephone company in the UK, although now privatised.
