About

An exhibition exploring the ‘spirit of place’ for Beverley Road in Hull is to be held from 10am-3pm this Saturday, on a community bus in the Aldi car park on Beverley Road.

 

Arc, the architecture and built environment centre for Hull and the Humber region, have put together the exhibition after working with local residents and young people in a project funded by English Heritage.

 

The exhibition will display the overall findings of the ‘Beverley Roadness’ project, in which Arc engaged with the local community to try and find out their views on the area in order to feed into a characterisation assessment. Focusing on the southern end of Beverley Road, Arc has so far engaged a broad cross-section of community groups within the area. The exhibition will also contain visual work created in a series of creative workshops held with pupils from Endeavour High School and Stepney Primary School in February.

 

In addition to the engagement work, Arc commissioned artist Nicola Streeten to create an illustrated map of the area and visitors to Saturday’s exhibition can obtain their free copy.

 

The work has being undertaken on behalf of English Heritage, who identified Beverley Road on their ‘Heritage at Risk’ register, published in July last year. The work ties in with the recently publicised Hullness project, aimed at investigating the character of the city in respect to architecture and the built environment.
