There are only a few days left to go to see the Goole by Barge exhibition at Goole Museum and Gallery, the last day is Saturday 13th April. Opening times are under the poster below.
We are delighted that there have been over 1700 visitors so far. Thank you to everyone who’s left a comment in the visitor’s book, this is really helpful and important to support the museum to curate future projects such as this. Here is a selection of the comments. If you do visit this final week of the exhibition, we hope you enjoy it, Rich & Lou.
“Brilliant stuff! So professional as always, with great photography and great music. A pleasure”.
“Lovely atmospheric pictures, brother were skipper and mate on the George Dyson (63 – 73). I remember her new – a toilet on board, just had to climb down a ladder into the engine room.”
“So many reminders of the River Humber and Goole, beautiful photo’s, a very pleasant evening, thank you and good luck with your future projects, hope there are many more.”
“First time visiting the museum, great to read about the history of Goole and also fantastic photo’s, social history and music in the ‘Goole by Barge’ exhibition. The photos really gave a sense of the importance of the water to the area.”
“Absolutely brilliant exhibition – worked on the water nearly 20 years so familiar places.”
“A really good and quality exhibition. I loved the entirety of it – the film, the music and not least the atmospheric still photographs. I would recommend this to everyone, but I think it’s important that local schools in Goole take the opportunity to let their school children see it. I am unable to recall a better exhibition in Goole.”
“Lived in Goole ’88 – ’92; great to walk down memory lane and learn something in this lovely and well thought out museum.”
“Great stuff – nice that barges are remembered.”
“Many memories of Goole, Ouse and John Dean! Good video and pictures.”
“Absolutely bloody lovely.”
