A burial ground in Hull has been reconsecrated following the removal and reburial of thousands of bodies to make way for the A63 Castle Street improvements.

The ceremony on Friday was led by the Bishop of Hull, the Right Reverend Dr Eleanor Sanderson.

It was a way of “honouring and giving dignity” to those who died, she said.

It marked the end of a decade‑long process to move, study and rebury the remains of more than 9,500 people.
