Edward 1st Long Cross Penny - What Mint?

Here are some pictures of what I believe to be an Edward 1st Long Cross Penny. I have spent hours trying to decipher the mint on the reverse. I've looked at similar coins on the PCGS website and others as well as striking up a conversation with Gemini (Google's AI) without any luck. For the letters below on the reverse which are supposed to identify the mint, I've put a ? indicating that I really can't tell what the letter is. To me, reading clockwise, the letters look like this....

- These letters are in the first segment... T, O, ? (this ? looks like two capital "I" with a downward sloping crossbar connecting the two, it also appears there is a contractive mark between the two "i")

- These letters are in the second segment... V (could be a "U"), I, ? (this ? looks like a capital "I" but then there is a tall isosceles triangle adjoining it, there appears to be a contractive mark that comes off the top of the isosceles triangle).

- These letters are in the third segment... R, (could be a B), V, ? (this ? looks like two capital "I" with a downward sloping crossbar connecting the two).

- These letters are in the fourth segment... U (could be O or V), E, S.

Note that when I turn the coin over (like reading a page in a book), there are no crosses that are perfectly upright. I have to rotate the coin 45 degrees in either direction to get an upright cross. What I did was rotate the coin 45 degrees clockwise to provide the lettering sequence above.

Does anyone have an idea as to what this mint is? Perhaps I don't have an Edward 1st coin after all?

Thanks!

Looks to me like VIL KYN CES TON, which is the mint of the City of Kingston upon Hull. I am anything but an expert.

BINGO! Thank you @Neal !! This looks like the 9b version, shown here https://www.ukdfd.co.uk/pages/edwardian-Pennies/Edwardian Pennies P10.htm I just needed that extra set of eyes to point me in the right direction. I am most grateful!
