Art of the North

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
