Working Lives

Coming Soon for Heritage Open Days 2026

Following on from last year’s online event and exhibition, ‘Hull’s River Bridges’, we are returning to Heritage Open Days this year to focus on everyday working life.

‘Working Lives’ is a new online exhibition of everyday working life, depicted through stories and previously unseen, rare and restored photographs through the years, especially created for this year’s Heritage Open Days Festival.

The Open Bridges book, ‘A River Full of Stories’ is available through all Hull and East Riding Libraries.

Rich & Lou will also be hosting an in conversation about the Open Bridges project at Wrecking Ball Music and Books on Whitefriargate, in Hull. Please see the event listings nearer the time for details. If you would like to come, it would be great to see you there.
