====Three Ships mural==== [[File:The CO-OP Mosaic - geograph.org.uk - 931102.jpg|thumb|Three Ships [[mosaic]] mural on the old Co-Op building]] {{main|Co-op Mosaic}} The mural is on a curved screen attached to the end-wall of the old city centre Co-operative store building sited at the intersection where Jameson Street meets King Edward Street, now a mainly pedestrianised area created for the [[UK City of Culture|City of Culture 2017]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Public Realm City Pan Hull |url=https://cityplanhull.co.uk/index.php/public-realm/ |website=cityplan.co.uk |access-date=17 April 2021}}</ref><ref name="BLB1">{{NHLE|desc=Three Ships Mural|num=1468073|grade=II|access-date=17 April 2021}}</ref> Built by 1963 and later home to [[British Home Stores|BHS]], the building closed in 2016 with the collapse of BHS retail stores and was scheduled for demolition due to [[asbestos]] content. The building was listed as [[Grade II]] after lobbying by local pressure group Hull Heritage Action Group, potentially preventing demolition of the mural-wall. Specialist spraying to seal the building's internal structure has enabled moves to determine the actual level of asbestos in the mural-wall itself and provided a possible solution to incorporate the wall into a new development.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Young |first1=Angus |title=New twist in the battle to save Hull's iconic Three Ships mural |url=https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/three-ships-mural-city-centre-3843517 |access-date=17 April 2021 |work=Hull Daily Mail |date=13 February 2020}}</ref>
