Explore the rich history of women's football in Hull through the lives of Carol Thomas and Flo Bilton.
Lionesses of Hull is an exhibition which will explore the life in football of Carol Thomas, England defender from 1974 – 1985 and captain from 1976 – 1985. It will also touch on the life and work of Flo Bilton, also from Hull, co-founder of the Womens Football League who set up the Reckitt & Colman team that Carol played for early in her career.
As part of this project we are commissioning a film featuring interviews with different generations of women’s footballers in the local area about how they got into it, why they play and their experiences.
Staff from Hull Museums visited SHOUT at the Warren, a social group for young LGBTQ+ people in Hull to talk about the Lionesses of Hull exhibition and Carol Thomas’ story during Rainbow Laces month.
