Poppy Morgan, very famous in Hull...

[max_tranmere]

People may know I'm a big fan of Poppy's and was sad to discover she has retired for a second time. In order to try and see if she had made another comeback I started digging around on the internet to see if anything new would appear. Whilst looking online I found this. It apparently adorns a wall in a public building in Hull, where Poppy is from. I wonder if any other English pornstars have something similar in their hometowns. Very interesting, wouldn't you say?

Which public building? Doesn't look very "official" to me...

I just discovered it is in Hull Indoor Market, a place of commerce where pretty much every person in the city will go to at least semi-regularly.

A few things I've just found online about this (I've copied and pasted these write-ups/blog entries):

"Sitting pretty along the top of a wall are framed photos and bio?s of famous people from Hull or have made a name for themselves. Stuck right in the middle is the image of Philip Larkin, famous poet and author and Poppy Morgan, adult film star."

"This lass is a credit to her home town, breaking down the racial barriers that divide this city.Well done."

"I was in Hull Indoor Market the other day. They have this Rogues Gallery of people from Hull; Roland Gift, Mick Ronson, Amy Johnson, Laughing Phil Larkin etc etc ... then the photo's get more obscure (him who used to be in the Jewson ads and The Royle Family). Then we got to the downright bizarre, including this lass, Poppy Morgan from Hull. Funny how things come back to you innit"

"We have a very nice football team and also a very nice porn star"

Poppy is clearly a famous local. They should name a bridge after her or maybe a ship.

I worked with poppy in 2003 so the whole 2004 thing is wrong

[TheDonkeyWork]

Have to agree with Tequila - she has been around a lot, lot longer than what is stated here. I reckon she was doing porn - perhaps only amateur stuff? - as far back as 2000 or even before?

I don't suppose carrot-toped James Wildflower has made it into the rogues gallery too, has he?

No?

That's an oversight!!!

Poppy said a while back in an interview that her first film was with that Fat Freddie guy. Probably this one. She is called 'Morgan' in the film and, yes, it is from 2003:

I read somewhere that her sister isn't, and has never been involved, in any type of adult work.

[max_tranmere]

thealtruist, you are right. I found an interview with Poppy online where she spoke to The Adult Industry Press. She says she's 24 (so this was four years ago). Poppy confirms here that her sister has nought to do with the adult biz, so what is written on that thing on the wall in Hull is incorrect. Here is a small excert from the interview:

"Does your family know that you are in the industry? Do they support you if they do?

Yes they all know what I do now. I did keep it from them in the beginning, as I was unsure what I wanted out of the industry. I am an identical twin, and sometimes it kind of comes in handy. As when I am out of the UK, people think I am actually in the UK. Though my sister has nothing to do with the industry."
