NTC reveals Dome opening plans
North Tyneside Council (NTC) has unveiled plans to open up the Whitley Bay's Spanish City Dome to the public as part of the 2010 Heritage Open Days programme.
The historic landmark, which first opened in 1910, is undergoing structural repairs to enable the council to provide escorted tours of the building between 9 and 12 September. NTC has been working in partnership with English Heritage, with support from development agency One North East, to restore the Dome and ensure public access can be resumed.
Repair work have been carried out to the building's roof and roof terraces, while the walls are undergoing treatment. North Tyneside's elected mayor Linda Arkley said: "The completion of the structural repairs to the building, giving the building a long term future again, is one of the best things we can do to mark the centenary of this iconic building.
"We will stage an exhibition in the ground floor of the Dome that will not only celebrate the Dome's past, but also its future use with information displays from the short-listed developers about their proposals for the buildings."
