Hull History Centre have an interesting talk scheduled for this morning 1130 - Sharp Street, Hull, the First World War and the Impact on Local Communities Rob Bell During the 1914-18 War 140 men were killed in action - all from Sharp Street in the Newland Avenue area of the city. A street shrine was erected in their honour and local writer Rob Bell used to deliver papers and pass the scroll of names every day. Years later, he decided to explore the story more and the Poetry Collection Sharp Street took shape. This talk provides a general context about Hull and the First World War and moves on to illustrate the impact of the war on the community both in the trenches and on the home front.
