Remembering Beverley Road and the Blitz

In March 1941, Hull suffered some of the heaviest raids of the Second World War in the city. Areas around Beverley Road were heavily impacted, including iconic and historic buildings such as the National Picture Theatre.

As part of the Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme, we met Janet Baker, who was living in the Station Inn in 1941. As part of our Beverley Road film series, we spoke to Janet about life in the city during the war and her memories of the Hull Blitz.

The Station Inn has received improvement works as part of the Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme. The scheme is funded by Hull City Council and the National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.

The scheme has included repair and restoration grants to local property owners, public realm improvements, and a community engagement programme. The programme includes heritage walks,, work with local schools, and collaborations with community organisations.

About the Love Your Neighbourhood initiative

Doug Sharp, Head of Street Cleansing and Waste Management at Hull City Council, spoke about the Love Your Neighbourhood initiative at it’s official launch this week:

“This is a new neighbourhood improvement initiative. It’s a £1million investment to the street cleansing and grounds maintenance service.

“So we’ve got 33 staff who we’re using to send in and blitz our neighbourhoods we’re carrying out litter picking and street cleansing, fly tipping removal, litter bin repairs, graffiti removal, ground maintenance tasks, gully emptying a whole raft of stuff.

“But it’s about sending staff in and giving the place a really deep clean that way residents will really see a lift in their neighbourhood.

“And we hope that will sustain the level of environment standards for longer.”

The history of Hull’s Beverley Road

The second film in our Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme series, created by local filmmakers Nova Studios. Beverley Road is one of the most historic areas of Hull, although in the past this has often been overlooked.

Since 2015, Hull City Council have been delivering the Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme. The scheme will protect and celebrate the rich heritage and those who enjoyed time there over the centuries.

Through the scheme’s community engagement programme, local residents have told us countless stories of Beverley Road’s rich history of culture and entertainment. In this film, Nova Studios bring to life some of those stories. From special moments and world-famous artists, to iconic spaces and the legacy of Beverley Road’s cultural communities.

The Beverley Road Townscape Heritage Scheme is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.

The scheme has included repair and restoration grants to local property owners, public realm improvements, and a wide-ranging community engagement programme which includes heritage walks and talks, work with local schools, the creation of a new heritage trail and collaborations with community organisations.
