Have you got any memories or photos of life through the years on Beckside?
Beverley Barge Preservation Society is trying to pull together as complete a picture as possible of life around the Beck, once the industrial heart of the town.
Now a floating museum, the society’s pride and joy is the Syntan, once a working barge used by Richard Hodgsons and sons ltd. It is the hub of the society’s Barge and Sea Shanty festival, held over the weekend of May 28 and 29.
More information about this museum, contact the society on email at info@syntanbarge.co.uk.

The Society is holding an Open Day on Thursday 7th October (10.30am to 3pm)with a view to allowing visitors – businesses and schools, to look over the barge and to be presented with the Syntan as a venue for meetings, and as an historical site for learning about the Beck and the role it played in the town’s industrial past.
