A MULTI-million pound project to revamp a venue which once hosted the Beatles has been delayed by a year after rotting timbers and unsupported walls were uncovered in the summer.
Stockton's Globe Theatre is now not expected to open until Spring 2020 – a year later than planned.
A badly-corroded drainage system and weaknesses in the roof structure were among the findings when the building was stripped back to the 'bare bones' in the summer.
The setback has not deterred the Globe’s operators, The Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), who have started the process of approaching acts to play the live music and comedy venue.
