A first image of how the new Stack development will look in Bishop Auckland has been revealed as work on the site prepares to get under way.
Councillors approved plans for the purpose-built food and drink set-up in the County Durham town in March and demolition is now due to start on the former WH Smith and Mothercare stores in Newgate Street to make way for what is set to be a boost to the local social scene. In the meantime the leisure operators behind it have released a CGI image showing how Stack will look once construction is complete.
Fans of the original container village set-up in Newcastle will recognise its trademark appearance and the two-storey building, which boasts a roof terrace, is shown with inviting extra touches of greenery and fairylights within. And the bright and modern new-build will house a mix of local independent food traders and bars.
