Oldham’s iconic 134-year-old Prudential Building which has been rotting for years could be returned to its ‘former splendour’ under new plans.
The Victorian building on Union Street was compulsory purchased by the council after the cabinet agreed last March to bring it back into use as part of the Future High Street Fund programme.
Under the proposals, which have now been submitted for planning permission, the inside and outside would be repaired to transform it into a ’21st century incubator facility’ for businesses, focusing on the creative, digital, and media sectors.
