Our Society - The Story of the Hull Lit & Phil
Margaret Imrie
Our Literary & Philosophical Society has a history full of incident. A rocky start included a treasurer who embezzled the funds and an alcoholic president. This was followed by a Royal visit, near bankruptcies and the sudden destruction of two of its 'homes'. That it survived is a triumph and, as Hull's Year of Culture approaches, the Society can be very proud that it is the oldest cultural organisation in the city.
Margaret was educated at Malet Lambert High School and Manchester and London Universities. She then taught in Lancashire and later for the Hull University Country House Studies Course at Burton Constable. She was also a N.A.D.F.A.S. lecturer for some years.
