DUNSTON Staiths will not reopen to the public this weekend as planned after an inspection found damage and decay to the wooden structure.
-
The Staiths reopened to the public for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic in April last year, coinciding with the launch of the Tyne Derwent Way, a £1.5m redevelopment of a trail which connects Gateshead Quays with Gibside in the Derwent Valley.
There had been plans to reopen the Grade-II listed structure for the summer starting from this weekend, but that has now been postponed, with no opening date as yet.
A joint statement from Tyne and Wear Building Preservation Trust and the Tyne Derwent Way said: “We're sorry and disappointed to say that we won't be able to open Dunston Staiths to the public this Saturday after all.
