Heritage Open Days is England’s largest festival of history and culture which runs from 12th – 21st September.
Hull’s River Bridges is an online exhibition of over 40 chapters. It will open on 12th September and you’ll be able to see images of inside bridges, restored bridge plans and diagrams along with rare and previously unpublished photographs, and historic aerial views and maps. Posts will be published on a daily basis throughout the festival to include bridge and river workers stories and also feature the work of artists and writers who have been inspired by the bridges over the River Hull including Joseph Cox, Andy Hazell, Jonathan McDowell, Peter Marshall, Jack Pell, Michael Pinsky, Gary Saunt, John Stead, Angus Young, Syd Young and The Broken Orchestra.
