A VICTORIAN theatre where the Beatles once performed has submitted plans for a new roof - as dry rot continues to spread.

According to Matsim Properties, it is impossible to prevent any further water penetration because of the design and deterioration of the roof structure. The roof’s steelwork has rusted through and any work on recovering the roof will cause excessive vibration and undoubtedly bring down further if not all of the decorative ceiling, the company said.
