A popular Saddleworth ice cream café is to open a new venue in a Tameside heritage centre to bring it ‘back to life’.
Grandpa Greene’s Luxury Ice Cream Ltd had applied to Tameside council to extend Park Bridge Heritage Centre to create a bigger café and an outdoor dining area.
Park Bridge, which sits at the edge of the boroughs of Tameside and Oldham, was once the site of a bustling ironworks but following its demolition in the 1970s is now a popular spot for walkers and dog owners. Under the plans the café would be extended by the construction of a new ‘sympathetic’ single storey building, which the applicant says would be ‘quality modern architecture’.
