Beverley is a largely Georgian town, but how much do local residents know about Georgian times?
The new exhibition at Beverley Guildhall, ‘Through the eyes of a Georgian gentleman’, uses the diary of a Beverley gentleman, John Courtney, who lived in the town from 1734 to 1806, to illustrate how life in Georgian England was experienced by real people in Beverley. The exhibition opens on Wednesday, 6 March.
The Beverley Guildhall’s ‘Popup Memory Museum’ is back with ‘Three Streets’ – video presentations featuring old photos of Beverley aimed at stimulating people’s memories. This first presentation compares 1960s and 1970s shops with how Toll Gavel looked in 2022, by highlighting the differences between them.
The other two presentations, A walk along Ladygate, and The Globe Inn & Sow Hill take viewers on a journey along Ladygate and around the Sow Hill area with photos from the 1960s and 70s. This shows how the area around Ladygate has changed since the Globe Inn was demolished and Sow Hill Road was built.
