SUMMARY:A History of Hessle Cliff with Dr. Alex Ombler (Curator\, Goole Museum) - a Barton Civic Society talk
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Alex Ombler (Curator\, Goole Museum) explores the natural\, industrial and social history of Hessle Cliff from pre-history to the present day.  A little-known place on the north bank of the Humber Estuary\, the cliff forms the southern-most tip of the chalk Wolds of Yorkshire.  While the cliff has been of immense interest to geologists\, it was also a place of industry.  Quarrying and lime burning took place from at least the medieval period and during the 17th century\, it became an important site for shipbuilding.  The Industrial Revolution brought new developments to the cliff\, not least the establishment of a new permanent settlement.  As industry declined during the late 20th century\, the cliff underwent regeneration and emerged as a place of waterfront leisure and living. \n£4 for non-members. \n(following the Society’s AGM at 7.30pm and a short refreshment break) \n
