A major new exhibition by The University of Lincoln, funded by AHRC, which creates a new history of post-war Hull by studying the lives and experiences of the City’s people between the Second World War and the present day.
Through community workshops, oral history interviews with Hull people and researching in archives across the country, a team of historians led by Dr James Greenhalgh have built a picture of how the City has changed and what is important to its people.
The exhibition looks at some of the elements which seemed most important to the project’s volunteers and contributors and examines how Hull sees and remembers itself and its past.
