Renovation work on one of Hull’s tallest and most recognisable buildings has revealed a piece of history which has been hidden for the last 50 years.
Contractors working on the exterior of the Hull Royal Infirmary tower block have discovered an old filling knife lodged in the concrete of the original building.
The knife was found by contractors from Hull-based Houlton during work to remove the old mosaic tiling from the tower block in preparation for the installation of new windows and application of a stylish new steel grey fa?ade.
The work is part of an ?8 million investment which Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is making to improve the structural safety of the building, along with its overall appearance and energy efficiency.
