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...

5. Windows replaced
Windows are being replaced in some of the buildings where possible, with windows protected in the grade II listed buildings having additional glazing fitted.

6. Structural works
Structural works have been carried out to ensure the foundations of the building are secure so the flats and retail units can now be plastered and set up for use.

7. A big job
The job is an extensive project which £1 million of taxpayers' money has been poured into, with builders working hard to complete all of the work.

8. En suite
An en suite shower room in the master bedroom in one of the flats, which has now been plastered.
