Over the Autumn of 2024 volunteers from across Hull, and the wider region, came together with Humber Field Archaeology to dig into the archaeology and history of the Drypool area of the city.
The dig, within the former open yard space of Clarence Flour Mill, revealed the hidden story at the heart of the village of Drypool, a story that stretches back 700 years.
One year on from the dig come along to a new temporary exhibition to find out more about what was found on the site, and delve deeper into the fascinating story of Drypool and its inhabitants.
