Work has started on transforming Oldham’s iconic Egyptian Room into a food hall to rival Manchester’s Mackie Mayor and Altrincham Market.
Proposals to convert the Grade-Two listed space in the Old Town Hall on Parliament Square into a casual dining and drinking venue were granted planning approval in March 2021.
The Egyptian Room, which is ornately decorated with floor to ceiling glazed tiles and double-height vaults, was once home to the Borough Treasurer’s Rates Hall but has been lying empty for years.
