Description
To celebrate the North of England’s people and places, Historic England set photographer John Kippin a challenge to explore the ‘Spirit of the North’. This podcast series explores how the places he photographed, and the people he met, capture the North’s extraordinary history of creativity, innovation and cultural influence. We're setting out to discover whether there truly is a “Spirit of the North”. The photographs are part of "The Great Exhibition of The North" and can be viewed until September 9th 2018 at Bessie Surtees House in Newcastle. #spiritofthenorth

Customer Reviews
Finally - the north’s depth, explored
So nice to see Historic England tackle a major bug bear of mine - the ‘it’s all grim up north’/‘we’re so gritty’ Northern stereotypes. The North is the beating heart of the UK and it’s great to hear Northern identity's modern nuances get some airtime :) Big thumbs up!!!
