Aerial footage shows contractor Hobson & Porter pouring six tonnes of concrete to build the new roof at Hull’s National Picture Theatre.

The Grade II-listed building is currently undergoing a five-month restoration after being derelict for more than 80 years.

The cinema was hit in a Luftwaffe raid during the Second World War Blitz. It is Hull’s last surviving civilian bomb-damaged building.
