Hull's celebrated and listed Three Ships mural looks set to be saved after the council appeared to make a U-turn on the need for demolition
The 1963 mosaic, by artist Alan Boyson, is on the post-war BHS/Co-op building in central Hull. It had expected to be destroyed after Hull City Council found ‘dangerously high’ levels of asbestos within the structure.
