Thanks to everyone who’s been in touch and visited the website as The River Full Of Stories project has developed through 2018. In the last few weeks we’ve published a lot of archive material about the river – and there’s more to come in 2019 – but we thought we’d take this opportunity to share a gallery of photographs we’ve taken this year; from the Open Bridges exhibition inside Scale Lane Bridge in stone cold January to the summer’s heatwave, click on an image for the full picture and scroll through…

Open Bridges made history when for the first time all 13 of the bridges over the River Hull in the UK’s City of Culture 2017 raised, swung or closed simultaneously splitting the city of Hull in two at 20:17 hours on 22nd September 2017. Historic vessels sailed down the River to be met by 21st century tugs.
Open Bridges is an independent Hull/East Yorkshire based project.
