New life planned for historic town centre building

ONE of the most attractive buildings in Warrington town centre, which has stood empty for years, could be brought back to life.
The former Martin’s Bank = later to become the co-op Bank – at the corner of Bridge Street and Rylands Street could become an apartment building, also including a restaurant or bar.
A planning application has been submitted to the borough council and officers are considering the proposals for the Grade 2 listed building.
If approved, the proposals are for the exterior to remain largely unchanged but the interior would be completely altered and refurbished.
