The project is now well underway on the buildings, which span from 78 to 82a, in order to bring them back to use after years of being left unoccupied and give a much-needed boost to Knaresborough's high street. The properties consist of three ground-floor retail units and four first floor residences, and building work is now taking place following successful planning permission and listed building consent being granted. Take a look through these pictures to see how the work is progressing so far...

Work is still ongoing to make the retail units fit for use so they can be rented out to a business.

4. Work ongoing
Builders are on site to complete the work, and have installed a swift box to attract the urban bird species which is in decline.
