Have neglected the blog over last two weeks owing to pressure of other commitments (spb). The event at the great hall of Tyrwhitt Hall, Barton drew-in 95 persons so was very crowded but went off ok. To be repeated this coming Sunday 2pm but with fewer places available. Two talks in Hull, History of Hessle Common (south-west Hull) (see Articles and Publications) given at Hull History Centre and Evolution of the Humber Estuary at the Kardomah, Alfred Gelder St., Hull went ok. Kardomah is an interesting venue, relatively small but intimate with various types of seating and full opportunities for refreshments provided by staff. Incidentally the Evolution of the Humber presentation is one of many that I have that have been prepared as power-point presentations but not, as yet, written-up as articles.
My guided walk through Baysgarth Park on Saturday will be at 11am the 2pm one having been cancelled. Following the Baysgarth Park event some of the authors in the Barton Book series will be giving a short talk on their publications at the Ropewalk.
Was very disappointed with Look North’s promotion of the Heritage weekends north and south of the Humber as no mention was made of the promotional booklets produced by Barton and Hull Civic Societies, these being where the information could be found.
