    It's part of a study into English dialects and how they've progressed down the generations in the last 40 years.

    Quote Message

    "This is a fantastic opportunity to take language and heritage back to the communities it came from - and where it truly belongs. "We will be able to help people uncover their own dialect inheritance and cultural heritage and invite them to add their own memories, language, and stories for the benefit of current and future generations."

    Campaigners had hoped to run it as a charitable trust but the council has judged it is not sustainable as a theatrical venue.
