City's priceless records come under one roof for first time
From the hand-written workbooks of one of England's greatest poets to the Royal Charter that made Hull autonomous, the priceless records of the city's past have been gathered under one roof for the first time.
The Hull History Centre, a £10.7m project that opened to the public yesterday, is the first in the country to house city, university and local studies archives together. The purpose-built facility, a £9.83m development in Worship Street, is designed to make exploring the past easy.
