The exhibition explores Hull's whaling industry and the history of Mackman's Bakery

A new exhibition has opened at Hull History Centre which features images of the city dating back to the 1920s.

The show will also explore the city's whaling industry and history of well-known Mackman's Bakery.

Visitors can imagine the "sights, smells, and sounds" of the city during the 19th and 20th Centuries, according to a spokesperson for the centre.

It is part of a project funded by the James Reckitt Library Trust to improve access to local history collections.

The exhibition, titled Unlocking Treasures, Revealing the Past, is the venue's first in-house show for more than two years.
