Hull’s River Bridges
Given by Rich & Lou Duffy-Howard

A chance to meet and talk to Rich and Lou Duffy-Howard creators of Open Bridges and A River Full of Stories.Open Bridges made history in 2017 when for the first and only time, all 13 of the bridges over the River Hull were raised, swung or closed simultaneously to allow a flotilla of vessels to make their way to the Humber to a backing of an especially-composed live music score.

Following Open Bridges Rich & Lou are continuing to add new instalments to the project, gathering and curating memories, stories, photographs, films and exhibitions about life on and around the River Hull.
