Meeting 9 January: Carol Osgerby, 'Beyond the End of the Line: a Virtual Tour of Holderness'

If most of the world thinks Hull is at the end of the line, how do you describe the land beyond the city? Let Carol Osgerby take you on a virtual coach tour around the district between Hull and the North Sea coast, explaining how the geography of Holderness (Chaucer’s ‘marshy country’) has shaped its history, and highlighting landmarks and sites of historical events from the 10th to the 20th centuries.
