The bombed-out Hull theatre is once again going under the hammer later this month.
The current owner, Saleem Hakim, recently submitted a planning application to turn the front of the National Picture Theatre in Beverley Road into an alfresco dining area. He says those running The Swan restaurant next door want to use the ruins as a dining area.

First one's a rather nice 3 bed for modernisation in wonderful Wiltshire. Lots of extras with this one... a large barn/workshop, an annex, parking, garage, garden... you're getting a lot for your money with this one
