The next phase of the redevelopment of Albion Square is set to begin, Hull City Council has revealed - but it won’t now be complete in 2026, as originally planned.

The council has said design and build contractor VINCI Construction is set to begin works for the next stage of the city centre project.

This will include scaffolding around the iconic Three Ships mural, as well as protection and preservation works to ensure its Grade II listed status is preserved.

A specialist steel frame to secure to the rear of the mural will also be installed to allow the proposed demolition of the former BHS building ahead of redevelopment of the site.
