Bilston Town Hall has been closed since Wednesday after lead was stripped from the roof of the building, causing masonry to fall onto the pavement below and leaving the area around Church Street closed on safety grounds.
Tens of thousands of pounds of damage has been caused from the theft and a video released by Wolverhampton Council has shown the further issues caused by inclement summer weather conditions which saw the Hall flooded yesterday.
In the video, large pools of water can be seen on the tilted flooring of the hall, as well pouring down the stairs and visible tracks of water running down the walls of the building.
Events set to take place at the Hall over the next few days and the weekend have also been cancelled, with Wolverhampton Council saying it would be reviewing what events can take place there as soon as it can work out how long repairs will take.
