Demolition Services starts work on former Rank Hovis mill.

Demolition work has begun on one of Hull’s most iconic buildings, the derelict former Rank Hovis mill in the city centre.

Contractors from Leeds-based Demolition Services started at the site in Tower Street next to Drypool Bridge earlier this week.

It is believed the demolition work is scheduled to take 20 weeks.

The old mill has been empty for over a decade and has recently been a target for extensive vandalism and graffiti. There have also been several fires in different parts of the building.
