The Fruit Market area on Hull Marina is being transformed to the point that it will be almost unrecognisable compared to how it was.
So far nearly £5M has been spent on regenerating the much-loved area that is seen as the cultural hub of the next City of Culture, but will it survive the work?
A team of students are going to introduce us to the area, show what was, what is and what, hopefully, will be as this formerly dilapidated old area is breathed back to life for new and old established businesses and creative works.
With the eye-catching new C4Di building and The Deep to attract the roving eye of the multitude of visitors expected in 2017, and other iconic places such as The Minerva public house and Fruit warehouse theatre what does the future hold?
What does the regeneration mean for the famous Humber Street Sesh music festival and the Freedom Festival not long after that?
Will the Humber Street area be ready for its own events in 2016 to provide a prelude to what is destined to arrive the following year?
