The transformation of a long-term empty grade II listed former bank building in Liverpool city centre has been signed off.
Liverpool Council has given the go-ahead to proposals for the ground floor of the former Natwest buildings on Castle Street to be repurposed as a bar and restaurant. The site was vacated by the bank almost five years ago and has been empty ever since.
The buildings, which are more than 100 years old and are internally linked at all floor levels, are formed around a large central lightwell which starts at first floor level, fronting Castle Street and backing onto Lower Castle Street. The refurbishment will link the two venues at ground floor level.
