Go-ahead for Beverley Road regeneration after lottery grant secures revamp of Hull’s ‘historic gateway’ please log in to view this image CRUMBLING areas of Beverley Road will be given a facelift after £1.6m of lottery funding was secured. Hull City Council has announced its bid for Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) investment has been successful, giving it the go-ahead for a new Townscape Heritage scheme. The major regeneration grants scheme will ensure urgent conservation repairs on buildings at the southern end of Beverley Road, between Freetown Way and Queens Road, can go ahead. Councillor Martin Mancey, portfolio holder for the Beverley Road town heritage initiative, welcomed the news. He said: "This scheme will have a huge positive impact on the Beverley Road area and deliver much-needed investment and heritage-led regeneration for one of the city's most important historic gateways. "Beverley Road has been a major route into the city from at least the 14th century, and is still a key gateway for visitors and residents alike. "This major public investment from the HLF will allow the council to support the regeneration of this important historic area and to deliver lasting improvements for the benefit of local people." The grant is in addition to £511k from the council and £500k from the private sector. The scheme will also fund a series of repairs to iron railings and public footpaths and other street upgrades, as well as working with schools and contractors to deliver heritage training. Consultation with residents showed they were positive about the scheme's proposals, with many pointing out that the number of derelict and empty properties and poorly maintained historic buildings has increased in recent years. This is coupled with other issues, including graffiti, litter and antisocial behaviour. The HLF funding will allow the council to work with local people to address these issues and support property owners to fund and carry out urgent repairs. Fiona Spiers, head of HLF Yorkshire and the Humber, said: "We're delighted to support this project, which helps secure a bright future for historic Beverley Road. This investment is more than bricks and mortar. It is designed to encourage the community to work together and to generate pride in the area. "It will also provide some excellent opportunities for local people and the economy." The scheme will begin later this year and will continue until 2020. The team behind the scheme will also work with City of Culture Company around 2017, to support people to explore and celebrate the culture and unique history of Beverley Road. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/ahea...tory-26843914-detail/story.html#ixzz3fCANo3E4

Beverly Road Baths!!! Major flashback, I used to go there with school in the mid 70's. I left Hull in 1979 and that place had all but been erased from my memory until I saw that photo. Tell you the truth, that place always gave me the creeps
