English: Dereliction on Anlaby Road Information on http://www.anlabyroad.com/history/anlabyroadhist03.html "The New York Hotel was more famously known as Alfred Percy’s York Commercial and Temperance Hotel and Restaurant; opening c.1880, it was popular with teetotallers and temperance enthusiasts in Hull. Initially a single property, it soon expanded both east and west, taking in the adjoining properties in Ocean Place. Known locally as Percy’s Cafe, it was partly demolished and re-built in the 1920s, and altered again in 1954, much as we see it today. From c.1961 it was known as the New York Hotel and Ballroom, a popular dancing venue well into the 1960s. More recently known as Jack’s Nightclub & Bar, it has suffered badly during many redevelopment projects over the years, and is presently derelict and awaiting demolition. The property and the adjoining Salvation Army premises, along with the former Albert Hall Music Hall in Midland Street, are the subject of a planning application for the construction of a hotel and car park that will require the demolition of most of this block. The plans were approved in November 2005 but work is yet to commence."
