Workspace - this room is on the ground floor below the magnificent Council Chamber.

            The former Hull Dock Company offices, opened in 1871, eventually became the City's Maritime Museum. This imposing Victorian monolith in the centre of the City has just been refurbished as part of the £20M Hull Maritime Project, which includes restoring the Arctic Corsair ocean-going trawler, the Spurn Light Vessel and building a new visitor centre at the North East Shipyard on the River Hull as well as completely reshaping Queens Gardens, itself developed on the site of Europe's largest dock when it closed in 1930.

The new Maritime Museum features an airy atrium and huge spacious rooms, such as the former Council Chamber, with a host of impressive architectural features now lovingly restored to their original lustre and brilliance. Fitting out of the building will take most of 2025 and it is hoped that the new museum will open in early 2026.

Thanks to son Peter, Assistant Project Manager on the job, I got a private tour of the building on hand-over day from the contractors. It certainly is impressive.
