Unfolding Origins
This project mines the North Yorkshire County records office to undercover information relating to the story of the first toll bridge across the river Ouse in Selby which dates back to the late 1790’s. It is an adventure that took me to Ingatestone Hall in Essex, Barlby Bridge and Barwic Parade primary schools and a number of charity shops and walks up and down the river in Selby to explore this muddy but fertile ground.
