  • The Impacts of Hull Uk City of Culture 2017 Main Evaluation Findings and Reflections
    © Thomas Arran PRINCIPAL PARTNER CULTURAL TRANSFORMATIONS THE IMPACTS OF HULL UK CITY OF CULTURE 2017 MAIN EVALUATION FINDINGS AND REFLECTIONS Originally published in November 2019 and revisited in April 2021 Culture, Place and Policy Institute University1 CULTURAL of Hull TRANSFORMATIONS FOREWORD This Final Evaluation Report completes the work undertaken by colleagues at the University of Hull’s Culture, Place and Policy Institute to evaluate the outcomes and immediate impacts of Hull UK City of Culture 2017. An earlier version was published in print in November 2019, to coincide with a conference that brought together academics, practitioners and policy-makers from Hull, the UK, and the rest of Europe. This conference and the report built on the preliminary evaluation, the results of which were published and discussed in March 2018, very soon after the end of Hull’s year as UK City of Culture. The present document, both in its original form and in this version, is essentially an update of the preliminary evaluation work, using later data and taking some account of the work done after the end of 2017 to build on the legacies of Hull UK City of Culture. This revised version, completed in April 2021, is essentially a corrected and re-edited version of the November 2019 publication. We have not attempted to bring it further up to date, so it is essentially a summary of what was known at the end of 2019. Since then, of course, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating short-term impact on the cultural sector; its medium and long term impacts are as yet unforeseeable.

  • Yorkshire Poetry, 1954-2019: Language, Identity, Crisis
    YORKSHIRE POETRY, 1954-2019: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, CRISIS Kyra Leigh Piperides Jaques, BA (Hons) and MA, (Hull) PhD University of York English & Related Literature October 2019 This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/L503848/1) through the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the writing of a large selection of twentieth- and twenty-first- century East and West Yorkshire poets, making a case for Yorkshire as a poetic place. The study begins with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, and concludes with Simon Armitage, Sean O’Brien and Matt Abbott’s contemporary responses to the EU Referendum. Aside from arguing the significance of Yorkshire poetry within the British literary landscape, it presents poetry as a central form for the region’s writers to represent their place, with a particular focus on Yorkshire’s languages, its identities and its crises. Among its original points of analysis, this thesis redefines the narrative position of Larkin and scrutinizes the linguistic choices of Hughes; at the same time, it identifies and explains the roots and parameters of a fascinating new subgenre that is emerging in contemporary West Yorkshire poetry. This study situates its poems in place whilst identifying the distinct physical and social geographies that exist, in different ways, throughout East and West Yorkshire poetry. Of course, it interrogates the overarching themes that unite the two regions too, with emphasis on the political and historic events that affected the region and its poets, alongside the recurring insistence of social class throughout many of the poems studied here.

In July 2017, the two listed buildings on the Site (including Nos. 13 & 14) were the subject of an enhanced listing review (see Appendix A). 1.03 This review concluded that due to fire damage Nos. 13 & 14 Castle Street, were no longer considered to be of special interest and were excluded from the listing. An application was subsequently made for the demolition of Nos. 13 & 14 and this was implemented in late 2018. The review also concluded that the north (rear) section and the interior of the Earl de Grey Public House were not of special interest and they were excluded from the listing. 1.04 The purpose of this statement is to satisfy the requirement of paragraph 189 of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), which indicates that applicants should provide a description of the significance of any heritage assets affected by their proposals (including any contribution made by their setting).
