The restoration of a historic Hull city centre building has completed as new owners look forward to a very contemporary use.
Hobson & Porter, working for Shires Estates Investments, has renovated the Grade II-listed 52-53 Whitefriargate, readying it for occupation, with retail and restaurant plans including the potential for a roof-top bar.
The project with the late 18th century building has been supported with a grant from Historic England and Hull City Council, as an extension of the Humber High Street Challenge Fund. Work included the conversion of the upper levels to support future use, with the flat roof converted into a terrace.
