A massive response to a newspaper plea to save Scunthorpe’s Jubilee Theatre has brought a bumper postbag of 600 protest letters and coupons.

Readers are putting pen to paper in a bid to save part of the town’s history.

The campaign is aiming to get the theatre registered as a listed building to ensure its unique exterior is preserved.

Telegraph editor Michelle Lalor has now penned a letter to be sent to Chris Smith MP, at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and English Heritage to have the property listed.

She said: “The support we have received has been overwhelming.

“I cannot believe how many people have taken the time to write about their memories of the theatre and fill in a coupon.”
