    After lifting that bollard I expect it was time for a tea break.

    They're not actually bollards. They're large Thermos flasks.

    Thanks for that image. Two Yorkshire lasses and one Thermos.

    I'd leave the congratulations until you see the end result....artists impressions are one thing & often bear no resemblance to the final product

    I do hope something is done about that tarpaulin monstrosity of a fruit and veg stall.

    I'm just glad to see things moving.

    There's been lots of talk, lots of pictures and lots of planning. It's felt an age.

    I doubt very much that the changes will be for the worse. This is long overdue.

    It is. Wouldn't want to stop them making a living, but it's an eyesore there.

    Either need a more attractive stall or move into an empty shop unit.

    Edit: Have a word olm.

    Here's what the HDM thought Hull would look like in the future (from July 1941)...

    <laugh> I guess they felt the airfield did away with the need for a significant road.

    It seems that revised designs for Beverley Gate have been done and are currently being costed (and discussed with Heritage England), they'll be put forward for public consultation by the end of this month.

    The new proposals have been revealed this morning...

    OPTION 1

    THE SPACE
    • Two new lawns will be created to the north of the ruin, and a small plaza space to its west
    • There will be space for circulation around the walls but the route through to Whitefriargate will be tighter than Option 2
    THE WALL
    • The ruin will be left exposed and the existing retaining walls will be left in place
    • Access to the edge of the ruin will be left exposed and the existing retaining walls will be left in place
    • The existing single point of entry will be changed to create more opportunities for people to sit closer, but at a higher level
    • This will make the space feel less intimidating and allow more people to spend time there
    • The railings will be changed for something much lighter and sensitive to the historic surroundings

    OPTION 2

    THE SPACE
    • The ruin will be filled to create a significant public green space for people and a clear route to the Old Town
    • Large lawns and new trees will extend thecharacter of Queen’s Garden’s towards the shopping areas of Whitefriargate and Princes Quay
    • The lawns will create a large area for people to use, particularly during the summer months, with places for people to sit and relax
    THE WALL
    • The threshold of the Beverley Gate will be marked by a specially commissioned map, etched into the stone surfacing, showing the extent of Hull’s historic Old Town

    how anyone can opt for option 2 and eradicate a historical landmark would be awful. Saying that, option 1 isn't great.
