Talk - Beyond the Fairer and Nobler City
Heritage Open Day: In this talk, Jim Greenhalge, lecturer in modern history at Lincoln University
traces the shape of Hull in the postwar period from Abercrombie to the Rebirth of the Old Town. In 1945, with much fanfare, Hull Corporation unveiled Abercrombie and Lutyen’s plan to create a ‘fairer and nobler city’. Replete with artistically rendered images of the proposed city, the Plan has attracted much debate and, sometimes, opprobrium. Yet the fact remains that relatively little of the more eye-catching development was ever realised. This talk examines what did get built and why, in the thirty or so years that followed the war. It examines the areas of the Plan that enjoyed relative success and asks why they did.
