    The images, which go on display at Hull's Streetlife Museum from 2 February, show scrap dealers from 1968 to the present day.

    The photographs come from the collection of the Norris family, who've spent decades collecting unwanted goods in the city, originally using horse and carts.

    It features three generations of the family, with black-and-white images of George Norris Sr and colour snaps taken by his son, who co-curated the exhibition.

    George Norris Jr said: "Scrap dealers are the original recyclers. My family have dealt with horses for the past 100 years and are a well-known family in Hull."

    The construction of automatic entry gates and railings at either end of Hanover Square, behind Hull City Council's offices, could cost up to £250,000.

    The move to block unauthorised access follows security concerns raised by staff in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in London and Manchester.

    Deputy council leader Daren Hale has defended the plans, saying it's the duty of the council to properly protect the building.

    "We can't play fast and loose when it comes to the safety of those who work in the building and make no apologies for keeping people safe," he said.

    Conservative councillor John Fareham has criticised the proposals, saying any amount spent on the gates would be a waste of money.
