Plans to excavate Tudor fortress built by Henry V111 buried in Yorkshire car park
For years it has been buried under a coach park. But now archaeologists are hoping a riverside fortress built for Henry V111 could become a visitor attraction.
Trenches will start being dug next month to discover more about the site of the South Blockhouse next to the Deep aquarium.
Built in 1541-43 to guard the mouth of the river Hull, then a port, from hostile ships, the fortress was later a prison and finally demolished in the 1860s.
