After the restoration of Charles II of England the obsolete fortifications on the east bank of the river were extended and improved, at the same time incorporating a garrison into the city which had sided with the Parliamentarians during the Civil War; the new fortress, built in the 1680s, named "The Citadel" was a moated triangular bastioned artillery fortification built in the south-west corner of Drypool; approximately of land was taken by the new fortification. The area of the citadel became known as Garrison Side, and was an extra-parochial area (1880s). Drypool fell within the Parish of Swine until the 17th century, when a new parish of Drypool cum Southcoates was created. By 1821 Drypool had a population of 1409, increased from about 800 in 1811, and about 400 in 1801; by the 1820s the urban growth was such that it had become part of the greater Hull conurbation. Drypool (with the parish of Drypool cum Southcoates) was formally incorporated into Kingston upon Hull in 1837. By 1849 the Citadel was out of military use, and in 1863–64 the site was sold, and the structure demolished. Victoria Dock had been constructed north-east of the garrison between 1845 and 1850. The Dock company, having acquired the site of the Citadel, began to develop it, laying out streets, a toll bridge connecting to the west bank was also built in 1865 (demolished 1944), known as South Bridge or "Ha'penny Bridge". Building development on the garrison site was limited; by 1890 the site was used primarily for timber storage, with extensive railway sidings. The area was heavily damaged by bombing during the Hull Blitz of the Second World War. Victoria Dock closed in 1970. In 1981 the A63 road (Garrison Road section) was constructed through the parish, which included the construction of a new swing bridge over the River Hull, Myton Bridge. The Victoria Dock site was redeveloped as Victoria Dock Village in the 1990s with about 2,500 houses. Architecture Churches Anglican The Domesday Book does not mention a church in Drypool, though one is shown on a drawing of 1350; some archaeological evidence suggests a date of as early as the 12th century for its construction. The original church of St Peter was demolished in 1822, being in ruinous condition; and with the intention of building a new larger vessel, with over a 1,000 seats, increased from 200. The new church was
