Thank you!

We’ve now posted all 42 of the ‘Hull’s River Bridges’ chapters we had planned for this year’s Heritage Open Days festival. Thank you to all our contributors, everyone who has followed the project throughout Heritage Open Days and beyond and to Charlotte and the Heritage Open Days team and Christine & John Netherwood (HODs in Hull). Cheers to Hull Libraries and Paul Schofield for sharing just about all our posts, very much appreciated, and to Hull Maritime, Hull History Centre and the Yorkshire Post for their support too.

  1. To all concerned to bring this project to fruition and make it widely available a great big thank you! I have loved reading all the articles and the photographs, and forwarded the link to several others, all of whom have likewise enjoyed it. I was born in East Hull in 1950 and lived there until 2005 when we moved to Leven but for many years the river and its many bridges played a very big part in my life, always having to cross them to get into the city centre and for work purposes – how different the scene is now with so few working bridges. The Open Bridges book is excellent and it was only through borrowing the book from Leven library that I became aware of the Open Bridges project of 2017 as I would have loved to have been in Hull to watch this. I have also taken several trips on the barge Syntan from Beverley to the Humber, passing under instead of over the bridges and my late husband’s cousin, Laurie Dews used to take barges from Selby to Hull, how he would have enjoyed this project too. So thank you once again and please keep me informed of any new posts etc.
