My last meeting as a councillor of @royalhistsoc.bsky.social. There’s so much exciting work planned that I’m sad to leave. But I couldn’t resist this photo!

The poster, designed by the amazing Marie-Chantal Hamrock, takes inspiration from the 1407 Inclesmoor map, showing the other end of the Humber. And the lovely iconography of a 1734 map of Spurn and the estuary. More details of the Inclesmoor map here: www.flickr.com/photos/12480...

Haven’t really posted on here, so here’s an overdue plug for my first foray into exhibition curation! ‘Hull/Ravenser Odd: twin cities, sunken pasts’ opens at Hull History Centre on 26 March. And there’s already a exciting schools project in progress, imagining life on a sinking medieval island!
