Co-op Mosaic, Hull, Public mosaic mural in Jameson Street, Kingston upon Hull, England.
The mural features three large fishing trawlers constructed from 1,061,775 pieces of Italian glass arranged in 4,224 square panels on a concrete screen.
Artist Alan Boyson created this mosaic in 1963 for the Hull and East Riding Co-operative Society building, which later became British Home Stores until 2016.
The Latin inscription 'res per industriam prosperae' decorates the artwork, representing the connection between maritime industry and local prosperity through fishing vessels.
The Grade II listed mosaic occupies a curved wall measuring 66 by 64 feet at the intersection of Jameson Street and King Edward Street.
The letters HULL appear within the masts of the ships, an unplanned detail discovered after the completion of the mosaic installation.
