Former high street bank could become new bar, restaurant and flats

A former bank that is standing empty on Ashton-under-Lyne’s high street could become flats and a bar and restaurant under new proposals.

The building, on Market Avenue, dates back to 1849 and was most recently occupied by Yorkshire Bank which closed in January 2022. It has been empty since then.

Under the new plans, lodged with Tameside council, the upstairs of the former bank, which lies within the Ashton Conservation Area, would be converted into three apartments across the first and second floor.
