HULL MUSEUMS WEBSITE www.hullcc.gov.uk/museumcollections Hull Museums Service includes nine museums which together attract nearly half a million visitors each year. The museums have a rich and diverse range of collections, including anti-slavery, archaeology, craft and design, fine art, maritime history, social history and transport. A large proportion of the collections are designated as collections of international importance, and are regularly written about and researched. After selecting EMu, the Hull Museums Service went through a rigorous back capture process for all collection items. This basic data was prepared and loaded into EMu ready for the new documentation team to begin enriching the collection data. The sixteen documentation staff then cleaned the data whilst adding images and narrative material for the Service’s web audience. The website has a collections and theme focus spanning the nine different museum sites. The general public can browse the Narrative themes, whilst an advanced collections search caters to the needs of researchers and specialists. The Hull Museums website is driven entirely from the EMu Narratives module and this includes all the quizzes, the stories, image galleries, downloads, plus more. There are currently 115,082 records in EMu, of which 103,581 are available online (90%). The collections and themes within EMu are now widely available via Google and other search engines. For example, a Google search for Weird + Hull returns a link to the Weird and Wonderful section on the Hull Museum Services site. While the first link listed for a search on Egypt + Hull is to Hull's Egyptian collections.

Old Town East Appraisal
THE OLD TOWN CONSERVATION AREA CHARACTER APPRAISAL STATEMENT FOR THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PART OF THE ABOVE AREA 3 Introduction 3.1. Conservation Areas represent the best of the City's built heritage. In order to make informed decisions involving this heritage Local Planning Authorities need to define the essential character and appearance of Conservation Areas. Hence there is a need to agree character appraisals, or statements. 3.2. The immediate practical benefits of character appraisals are that they: a. Assist in determining applications for planning permission, conservation area, listed building and display of advertisements consents in or affecting conservation areas. b. Assist in presenting the City Council's case at associated Appeals and Inquiries. c. Form a basis for consultation as part of the Statutory Requirements to produce proposals for the preservation and enhancement of each conservation area. 3.3. The clearer and more robust such appraisals are, the greater their contribution will be in fulfilling each of these objectives. Character Appraisal for the Central Eastern Part of the Old Town Conservation Area 4. Origins and Development of the Area 4.1. The most significant aspect of the Old Town is that its medieval street pattern is largely intact. It is typical of towns dating from the 14th Century. Alfred Gelder Street was created in 1901, as part of a programme of Street improvement, which largely created the modern pattern of traffic routes through Kingston upon Hull. The Castle Street/Garrison Road highway developed in the early 1980s, follows the broad alignment of the former Mytongate although all physical evidence of its existence has been obliterated.

MALET LAMBERT TRANSITION MAGAZINE: CAVENDISH EDITION 03 Amazing Malet Lambert! By Alex Cavanaugh & Sam Killelay We talked to Ben who is a student at Malet Lambert. We asked him what he thought about the school and he said; “Malet Lambert is good for making friends and the most popular class is technology.” When we asked him why a lot of people like technology he said it is because you get to use all sorts of different equipment like drills, glue guns and lots of other things. Malet Lambert has recently received a makeover with a brand new cafeteria, a fantastic new open space, a new P.E. building and an awesome Astroturf pitch. I know because I’ve been told that Malet Lambert is a great school for having a good P.E. department. Malet Lambert looks like quite an artistic school because they have some enormous models such as Transformers, Avatar and other movie figures.

Not Just Wilberforce
Not Just Wilberforce Champions of Human Rights in Hull and East Yorkshire essays for Amnesty International Edited by Ekkehard Kopp and Cecile Oxaal First published in 2014 by Amnesty International UK The Human Rights Action Centre 17-25 New Inn Yard London EC2A 3EA in association with Hull Amnesty Group Copyright rests with individual authors and copyright for the volume is with the Hull Amnesty Group ISBN: 978 1 873328 77 4 Design and typesetting by Kall Kwik Centre Hull, Centre 1292, The Woollen Warehouse, South Church Side, Hull HU1 1RR Printed in Great Britain by Kall Kwik Centre Hull, Centre 1292, The Woollen Warehouse, South Church Side, Hull HU1 1RR Foreword This book is about freedom and Hull. Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought.

Shipbuilding Catching Shellfish
IntroductionIntroduction Much of the East Riding of Yorkshire adjoins water: the North Sea and the River Humber and its tributaries. Over the centuries men have needed boats to travel over the water and to gather food from under it. Naturally people with the right skills set up to build these boats. Some ship building operations are quite well known, such as those in Beverley and Hull. They have been documented in exhibitions in other local museums. This exhibition looks at some less well known boat building yards and boat builders both on the east coast and along the banks of the Humber. It has been researched and produced by the Skidby Windmill Volunteer Team. Prehistory- the Ferriby boats The Yorkshire Wolds have been home to people since Neolithic times and the River Humber has been an important transport route allowing goods and people to travel in all directions by water. For thousands of years this was the easiest and safest way to travel. It is therefore not surprising that North Ferriby was the site of one of the oldest boatyards in Europe as well as being an important harbour. Above: hypothetical reconstruction of a Ferriby boat. Right: Excavation in 1963 In 1937 changes to the tidal currents exposed three large oak planks preserved in the mud which Ted and Willy Wright recognised as belonging to very early boats. At first these were thought to be Viking but later tests confirmed that they were Bronze Age and, at 4000 years A half-scale replica of the Ferriby boats called Oakleaf has been built and sea trials proved old they are some of the oldest boats discovered in Europe.

Hull Labour Group Responds to This Further Consultation Wholly Bemused by This Unusual Irregular Process
THE HULL CITY COUNCIL LABOUR GROUP SUBMISSION TO THE FURTHER DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HULL CITY COUNCIL WARDS TH 8 AUGUST 2017 1 Contents Page Preface & Introduction 3 East Hull Wards 6 Sutton, Ings, Longhill & Bilton Grange, Marfleet and 6 Southcoates Drypool and Holderness 8 North Hull Wards 22 Avenue Ward 22 Kingswood, West Carr, North Carr Wards 25 Beverley Sculcoates Ward 33 Central Ward 54 Orchard Park, University Wards 58 Wyke Ward 59 West Hull Wards 60 Pickering 60 Newington & Gipsyville 63 St. Andrew’s & Docklands 72 Derringham 79 Boothferry 80 Concluding Statement 81 Appendices – scans of surveys sent separately due to volume. 2 Preface The Hull Labour Group responds to this further consultation wholly bemused by this unusual irregular process. Our unhappiness stems from the fact that we believe we were fundamentally misled by Commission staff who unequivocally stated that the first set of draft recommendations from the LGBCE would be based on a three- member Ward settlement. This LGBCE advice was given at the Labour Group Briefing with Officers and Members (including a Conservative Councillor) present). This then informed our initial response in October 2016. The alleged rationale and premature dismissal of a three-member Warding Settlement as proposed by Labour, seems to stem from the LGBCE’s refusal to consider a cross-river Ward. It is regrettable that the LGBCE continually refers to “’…our decision in relation to the River Hull…” [LGBCE Page 21 Paragraph 85, June 2017]. At this stage the LGBCE should have ONLY been dealing with recommendations, but it is clear, despite a lack of strong evidence, the LGBCE had made their mind up, preferring the repetition against such a ward by one political party.
