A LANDMARK building and visitor attraction in Durham will stay closed beyond lockdown restrictions so it can undergo restoration.
Durham Town Hall has been central to the city since the 14th century and is a popular site to learn about County Durham’s heritage.
The building has attracted almost 16,000 visitors since Durham County Council opened it to the public in November 2018, with people visiting on Saturdays to learn about the Prince Bishops who ruled the county from the 11th Century, the evolution of local government, or how the town hall developed from the first timber structure of 1356 to the complex building it is today.
