Scaffolders wrap Brighton pub in Ukrainian flag

Yates scaffolding of Brighton wrapped one of their recent structures in blue and yellow netting to mirror the Ukrainian flag.

The huge flag covers the entirety of the Hare and Hounds pub in London Road, Brighton, as it prepares for fresh paintwork.

Yates Scaffolding wanted to honour Ukrainians in Brighton and Hove

"A project in the centre of Brighton like that, we though we’d do a little tribute for all the Ukrainian people living in our city,” said Alfie Yates, founder of Yates Scaffolding.

"It’s just a nice little touch."

The pub is one of the first landmarks people see when travelling into the city.

"We had to order the ‘Brighton stands with Ukraine’ banner on the front. But we didn’t want to upset anybody, so I did have to ask the painter and the landlord of pub, and they ok’d it and said it was really good."

The project took approximately 12 days to complete, and has already received a fantastic response from residents, and people visiting the area.

It will remain in place for around six weeks for the duration of the Hare and Hounds’ outer refurbishment.
