The Council have refused the new application to demolish the George Lamb Memorial Chapel... At:- George Lamb Memorial Chapel, Lambert Street, Kingston Upon Hull, HU5 2SG has been REFUSED for the following reasons:- 01. Insufficient information has been provided to justify the total demolition of the Grade II listed George Lamb Memorial Chapel and the curtilage listed Sunday School. It has not been demonstrated that the total loss of the buildings is necessary to achieve substantial public benefits that outweigh that loss; that all reasonable efforts have been made to secure a viable future for the structures; and no new development is proposed for the site. The proposed development would therefore be contrary to policy ENV6 of the JSP, policies BE25 and BE30 of the Local Plan and guidance contained within the NPPF.
The New York Hotel demolition is underway, the internals have been pulled down, only the facade remains. These pic's are from before Christmas... please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
The bus stop that was situated in the front of the building has been moved further along Anlaby Rd to just near the first of the block of flats although the bus shelter still remains where it was. Don't know if the bus stop move is a permanent one or not, or will be moved back after all the demolition is finished, including the frontage of the hotel.
are are you colour blind Filey or do you have a bad memory,I used to know the lad who had this scooter and it definitely wasn't pink,more fluorescent multi coloured with a few bits of pink included.He told me he'd done it like that as a piss take on those who used to spend thousands customising.
It appears that this was the original hotel on the same site: please log in to view this image And I always thought it was named after New York, the city, as it had a 'Manhattan' bar...
There was a boxing club next door I believe or Salvation Army place was that knocked down or was it another building in Hull that mysteriously burnt down?
Sally Army definitely had a place there, ref. It had a sign that read: Salvation Army. Icehouse Corps, and it was just where the building-line swung back away from the road, between New York hotel and East Riding Furnishing.
Here we are: The Salvation Army (Hull Icehouse) CitadelThe old Salvation Army property, adjoining the former New York Hotel, was first registered in 1883 as the “Salvation Mission Hall”, to replace an older mission in the nearby Cambridge Street. The Cambridge Street mission was built on the site of a former ice-house, which also gave its name to the houses of Ice House Terrace on the north side of Cambridge Street. The new “Icehouse Citadel” on the Anlaby Road had seating for 2,500, officially registered in 1902, and by 1905 it was designated as the Hull Icehouse Citadel Co Ltd. The premises closed in 1989, when the army moved to more modern buildings in Walker Street; at that time part of Walker Street was renamed Icehouse Road. The citadel has stood vacant, awaiting demolition since its closure and recently suffered a serious fire. http://www.carnegiehull.co.uk/the-anlaby-road/history/anlaby-road-history-04.html
It was originally called Alfred Percy’s York Commercial and Temperance Hotel and Restaurant and opened in 1880 to serve tee-teetotalers and religious types.
