Bury’s former post office building is set to be transformed into ‘high end’ apartments. The Crompton Street building, which is a striking example of 19th century Queen Anne style architecture, is the subject of plans which would see it converted it into 16 apartments.
Crompton Living Ltd wish to bring the former Bury General Post Office back into use after its previous occupants, a children’s nursery and play centre vacated the premises in May 2020. The post office closed in the mid-1990s.
Documents submitted to Bury Council in support of a change of use application, state: “The applicant has undertaken a review of housing demand in the area and considers that this type of property is very much in demand for the area and would be an appropriate use for the property, providing well maintained and high-end accommodation in a very sustainable location.
