In 2014 AspinallVerdi led a team which helped Hull City Council prepare a Round 2 Townscape Heritage Bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund. We are delighted to announce that the Council has been awarded a grant of almost £1.6m for a major regeneration grants scheme for the south end of Beverley Road; which is in addition to £511k from the Council and £500k from the private sector.

The scheme will offer grants to property owners for urgent conservation repairs, including historic shop front restorations. It will also fund a series of boundary and public realm improvement works. The scheme aims to work with the owners of key buildings in the Conservation Area, including Stepney Station which is Hull’s last urban station house building.

Councillor Marin Mancey, Portfolio Holder for the Beverley Road Town Heritage Initiative, said:

“The scheme will have a huge positive impact on the Beverley Road area and deliver much needed investment and heritage-led regeneration for one of the city’s most important historic gateways”.

The scheme will begin later this year and will continue until 2020. The team behind the scheme will also work with City of Culture Company 2017 to support local people to explore and celebrate the culture and unique history of Beverley Road.
