Appeal for 1970s photos of city and people

A museum has put out an appeal for photos of people living in Hull during the 1970s, for an exhibition in July.

The team at Streetlife Museum are seeking photographic memories to go on display in a digital projection alongside memorabilia, games and fashions from the era.

Hull Museums Programme Manager, Sarah Howard, said: "we promise not to laugh at the flares."

The exhibition, Glam and Gloom: 1970's Britain opens on 10 July and will be on display until 31 August.

From power cuts and strikes, to rising standards of living, the exhibition will explore the "highs and hardships of life" in the 1970s, Hull Museums said.

The team would like to share memories of days out, special occasions and everyday life in Hull, alongside the national stories of the decade.

Ms Howard, said: "As a child of the 70s myself I'm excited to see the public contributions come in. The great thing about showing them digitally is that we can include so many!

"So get digging for those family photos from holidays on the east coast or your fun at Hull Fair – we promise not to laugh at the flares," she added.

Hull Museums said photos can be sent in via their Facebook page or email - [email protected].
