Listed building needs emergency repairs - report
Seven ArchitectureA Grade II listed building in Hull needs emergency repair works, the city council has been warned.
The former Trinity House Buoy Shed on the banks of the River Hull has cracks in its brickwork and walls bowing out, a report to the authority said.
The building was built in 1901 to store navigation equipment and was listed in 1994 due to its perceived architectural and historical value.
Historic England said its unique qualities were "a rare example of a particular building type associated with England's maritime history".
The empty building on Tower Street sits in the East Bank Urban Development Site, which the council hopes to develop with 850 new homes.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the plans submitted to the council said the emergency work was needed "to protect the building from falling into a further state of dilapidation".
The document added that it was hoped repair work would allow the building to be brought back into use in the future.
