Photographic celebration of historic places that embody and inspire Northern spirit will feature in a new exhibition and podcast series at Bessie Surtees House.
The Spirit of the North

Our Spirit of the North exhibition and podcast series explores the people and places of the North of England through the lens of celebrated photographer, John Kippin. Travelling the length and breadth of the region, Kippin’s photographs capture the extraordinary history of creativity, innovation and culture that continues to shape northern identity today. The photographs are exhibited at Bessie Surtees House in Newcastle from 22 June.
