Concerns over damage to historic Hull monument

There are concerns that a historic landmark in Hull is being damaged by children climbing on it.

Beverley Gate is where King Charles was denied access to the city in 1642 - sparking the English Civil War.

The site has just had a major restoration as part of the City of Culture 2017 arts festival.

In a joint statement, Hull City Council and Historic England said they encouraged people to enjoy the site but asked that visitors respect and take care of it.
