Freedom of the City of Hull
Joseph Rank built up a multi-million pound business empire in his life time which he handed onto his sons who went on to expand into other areas of business i.e. Rank films and cinemas.
Interestingly, Joseph Rank was offered many honours for his charitable work but accepted only one – the Freedom of his birth city, HULL.
