Childhood photographs wanted for exhibition

People who have grown up in Hull are being asked to share their childhood photographs for an exhibition in 2027.

Hull City Council said Hull's Youth Stories would explore what childhood in Hull has been like across different generations.

Frances Hodson, Hull Museum's community curator of social history, said: "We know that some of the most powerful stories about Hull's past are held in family photograph albums."

People are being invited to bring their original photographs to be digitally scanned at the Wilberforce House Museum on Saturday 19 September from 12:00 to 15:00 BST.

The council said all photographs would be returned immediately after they were scanned, and selected images could feature in the exhibition.

"We're inviting people to share their memories and help us build a picture of what it has meant to be young in Hull across different generations," Hodson said.

The show will celebrate the experiences, memories and stories of young people across the city's history.

"Whether it's a photograph from a family day out, school event or simply spending time with friends, we'd love to see it," Hodson added.
