Plan to create 'luxury restaurant' in historic Castle Street bank building

A former bank building in Liverpool city centre could be turned into a new luxury restaurant and bar, under new plans.

Plans have been submitted to Liverpool council, which could bring about a new life for The Old Bank of England building at 31 Castle Street. The building was famously occupied in 2015 by a group called Love Activists, who called for it to be used as a centre to support homeless people.

The new plans for the building come from the JSM Company Group, which has been responsible for a large number of redevelopment projects in Liverpool and Southport, as well as in Cheshire and Wales. In its planning application, the company says its planned works will create a new 'luxury restaurant and bar' inside the Grade 1 listed building.
