Morpeth Courthouse roofing


Historic Morpeth Courthouse will undergo a partial roof replacement to ensure the 1862-built structure continues to be a landmark for another century.
A delivery of slate to be shipped from Wales is necessary for the repair.
The building operated as a courthouse until 1943, and was a branch library before the Morpeth Courthouse Museum was established in 1971.
