The restoration of Hull’s historic Guildhall has taken another major step forward after 12 unique stone putties were lifted into position.
They will play an integral part in the return of the building’s famous timeball, which will take pride of place on the city’s skyline. The work is being carried out by Hull’s Hobson & Porter, and it is funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The company has already completed a major re-roofing programme at the Guildhall and in recent months it has been restoring the timeball and its internal mechanism as part of phase two of the project. Improvements and repairs have also been made to the clock tower and its historic stonework.
