A familiar corner.
A story still unfolding.

The building is recognisable. But when was this photograph taken? Look at the frontage, the windows and the signs: small details can help place a picture in time.

The Vauxhall Tavern at 1 Hessle Road is the home of the Hull Creative Skills and Heritage CIC project. This photograph connects a familiar building with the community collecting its stories today.
