The former Burton’s Menswear HQ, a Grade II-listed Art Deco building from the 1930s, is a significant architectural landmark on Whitefriargate in Hull. Originally, its facade was clad in 1½-inch Norwegian Emerald Larvikite, sourced from a quarry now operated by Lundhs known as Quarry No. 30 in Klåstad.
Over time, the stone adhesion deteriorated, requiring replacement. However, modern building regulations and structural limitations posed significant challenges in restoring the building to its original appearance.
