A new photography exhibition featuring 200 images of Goole opens at Goole Museum on 31 October.

Goole in Focus will launch at Goole Museum on Saturday, 31 October, as part of the town's bicentennial celebrations. The exhibition features 200 photographs by Goole photographer Syd Young, commissioned by East Riding Museums, and showcases the town's culture, people and places through a contemporary lens.

The images were taken over a three-year period and offer a mix of everyday scenes, historical details and moments from the bicentennial celebrations. The exhibition will include projected images and an immersive soundscape, featuring sounds recorded around Goole.

Syd Young said: 'This is the most ambitious project I've worked on. To capture the town in the here and now and present it to the very people who see it every day has been quite a challenge.' Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire, called it 'a unique exhibition featuring fascinating photography that brings together the very best of Goole'.
