A former city centre pub which closed during the pandemic could be converted to flats and is going to auction next month. The Angel Inn in Baneswell has been listed by Paul Fosh Auctions with bids opening at £130,000.
The once-popular corner boozer at the bottom of West Street and Blewitt Street went through other iterations such as Friends Lounge before reopening in 2016 under its original Angel name. It later closed again in September 2020.
It was sold in June 2022 and plans to convert the upper floors of the property into two two-bedroom flats were submitted in October, while there is scope – the agents said – for the ground floor to also be converted, or to remain as a commercial building.
