Workmen have embarked on the remarkable restoration of a Grade II listed cinema 80 years after it almost destroyed during the blitz of WW2.
The National Picture Theatre in Hull, East Yorks., was badly damaged during a Luftwaffe air raid on March 18, 1941.
Hull was one of the worst-affected cities in the country during the blitz and more than 150 people were inside the cinema at the time of the bombing on the port city.
Amazingly, nobody was killed or seriously injured.
The building, which was constructed in 1914, has been left unrepaired and derelict for 83 years and was given Grade II listed status in 2007.
