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. Although not a
trained historian, Carol is also the creator of the Hull and East Riding History
Calendar, providing a daily reminder of events
in the political and social history of East Yorkshire. www.facebook.com/
