I have just completed a small conservation project at the Wilberforce House Museum in Hull. I spent a couple of days repairing eight 16C replica chairs handcrafted around 1960. The chairs are now on display in the restored 17C paneled room that also features a stunning Tudor arched fireplace.
Wilberforce House was the birthplace of William Wilberforce, Hull's famous anti-slavery campaigner. It is now a historic museum, with galleries that expose the realities of the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies.
