What the Hull's happening with this old bomb site on Bev Road? 🤔 In case you don't know, this is Hull's National Picture Theatre, which once could seat over a thousand people, but it was bombed during World War II. Despite a screening of Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator being shown at the time, all 150 people in the cinema escaped - and thankfully, there were no casualties. Even though the blast completely destroyed the interior, the facade somehow survived, and it's now the only surviving civilian bomb-damaged building from the war, in existence. This week, we had a peek behind the scenes at the work happening right now to transform the space into a new multi-purpose venue. The project is starting by stabilizing and restoring the building's red brick façade, replacing period windows, and installing new lighting. Then the open space where the auditorium once stood will be transformed into a flexible area for education, community events, and a war memorial, allowing visitors to learn about civilian life during the Second World War. It originally opened in December of 1914, and once the work is complete, it will enable visitors to access the building safely once again for the first time since it was destroyed in World War II - 83 years ago. What do you think of the theatre's restoration? Let us know in the comments, and give us a follow for more videos like this! #hull #wwii #hullhistory

Frequently, on the way to work I will listen to the words of historical world leaders in times of challenge.. One's that envisioned a world that does not exist, but one that could be. A vision of of a world that may be extremely difficult to build, but one they would fully commit to themselves to helping us get there. President Kennedy has many that fit this description. This is one of my favorites. A person that made his fame in war (World War II) but devoted the rest of his life to peace... "What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek?..... I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time...I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary, rational end of rational men. I realize the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war, and frequently the words of the pursuers fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task...Our problems are manmade; therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable, and we believe they can do it again...And if we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's futures. And we are all mortal." https://lnkd.in/gyi2CbnW
