Delay to maritime museum reopening
BBCA multimillion-pound refurbishment of Hull Maritime Museum has been delayed.
Work started on the building in 2021 as part of a £27.5m revamp of the city's maritime heritage.
It was originally scheduled to welcome visitors in 2025, but now Hull City Council said it was "expected to reopen in spring 2026".
The BBC has contacted the authority for further details.
The former docks office in Queen Victoria Square holds thousands of marine-related artifacts, including whale skeletons, artworks and models of famous Hull ships.
Other parts of the project include renovating the former North End Shipyard on the River Hull as part of a new visitor attraction.
Once completed it will house the Arctic Corsair, a 1950s sidewinder trawler.
The maritime museum and the shipyard will be linked by a new "maritime route" through Queens Gardens public park, which is also undergoing a £21m redevelopment.
