Thwaite Hall was a traditional hall of residence of theUniversity of Hull, located inCottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Thwaite House was built inCottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire between 1803 and 1807, it was acquired in 1872 by David Wilson and sold to his brotherCharles Wilson, 1st Baron Nunburnholme in 1875, who substantially enlarged it and converted it into a mansion. After further changes of ownership in 1928, along withNeedler Hall, it was acquired by the newly created university college, and expanded in the 1930s and 40s into a hall of residence.[1]
In 2009, it consisted of 187 rooms and included a junior common room, a TV room, games room, library and senior common room. Thwaite Hall had 24 acres (97,000 m2) of grounds including parkland, meadows, a lake, and sport facilities.[2]
