- Hands On with maritime treasures
Every Thursday, 1 - 3pm at Streetlife Museum
Hull Maritime volunteers are delivering object handling sessions at Streetlife Museum this spring.
Since the 12th century when Monks from Meaux Abbey built a quay to trade their wool from, the River Hull has played an integral part in Hull’s maritime story. Using items from our handling collections we look at the goods traded, life and wildlife on the river and how the docks were expanded from the River Hull over the last 800 years. - Hull Pride
