URGENT UPDATE: A nostalgic film screening titled “Hull Through The Decades” will take place this Saturday, November 29, 2023, from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Carnegie Heritage Centre in Hull. This event marks the 60th anniversary of the closure of the historic Beverley to Market Weighton and York railway line, which officially ceased operations on November 30, 1965.
The Hull Civic Society is set to host this exhibition, providing an essential opportunity for residents and history enthusiasts to reflect on life in Hull over the past sixty years. Attendees can expect a rich array of stalls, picture galleries, and the film screening that encapsulates the essence of Hull’s transformation.
Ian Wolstencroft of Hull Civic Society emphasizes the film’s emotional impact, particularly for those over 50, stating, “
Hull Through The Decades will bring a lot of memories to many people in Hull. It is a fascinating look at how Hull has changed over the last 65 years.
”
The event is not only a tribute to Hull’s railway history but also serves a noble cause, raising funds for cancer charities and Dove House Hospice. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase copies of the film on DVD or memory stick, allowing them to take a piece of Hull’s history home.
As a special highlight, a sequel titled “Hull Through The Seasons” is slated for release in October 2026. This upcoming installment promises to showcase even more of the city’s rich heritage.
