The Grade II listed Captain Cook Pub located \u2018over the border\u2019 near the Transporter Bridge was last year listed as one of the Top Ten Most Endangered Buildings by The Victorian Society.<\/p>\n

Middlesbrough Council has prioritised the restoration of the Durham Street pub for a number of years but has lacked the resources to take the project forward.<\/p>\n

The Jacobean style building was designed by Middlesbrough’s Robert Moore and was erected in 1893.<\/p>\n

Currently, resources are being sought from the Towns Fund that would enable some of the restoration work to take place on both the Old Town Hall and the Captain Cook Pub, if successful.<\/p>\n

However, the council said its deterioration has accelerated and major stabilisation works are urgently needed.<\/p>\n

The costs of repairs are estimated to be around \u00a3538,000 and would come from savings made in the revised proposals for the town’s Boho X project.<\/p>\n
