Laureen Sylvestre
On Tuesday, we featured the wonderful life-story of Laureen Sylvestre told by her daughter Cleo. Laureen was born on 19 February 1911 at 37 Peel Street in Hull. Although she was brought up in care, she had an exciting life in showbusiness. Her legacy has been continued by daughter Cleo Sylvestre and granddaughter Zoe Palmer, who have both had successful careers in the arts.
Read about Laureen Sylvestre here.

Blog Post: Human Curiosities
On Wednesday, we released a short blog about African human exhibits which were showcased in Hull and East Yorkshire during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. To read this blog please click here.
