Dunston Staithes reopen after 25 years

The Grade 2 listed structure was declared 'at risk' in 2008

An industrial landmark on the River Tyne has reopened after 25 years.

Dunston Staiths was a crucial gateway for the coal industry, where ships were loaded with coal and sent all over the world.

In 2008, it was declared at risk after decades of decline. That started a long project to save and restore the Grade II listed structure.
