It's hoped it will enhance the 'vibrancy of the area'
New plans have been put forward to turn a prominent former clothes shop and historic bank into a bar. Freshly detailed plans would see the former All Saints shop in Thurland Street, across from the Thurland Hall pub, turned into a 'Box' bar, which the prospective owners say would be a "high-quality sports bar to eat, drink, view, play and party".
The listed building, along with neighbouring 11 Pelham Street was constructed in 1879 to form the base for the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Bank. The bank was converted into two separate retail units in 2004.The bar would be spread across the basement, ground and first floor levels of the building, with back of house staff areas and storage space at basement level, the main bar servery and seating areas at ground floor level, and customer toilets and a private dining room at first floor level.
A licensing application showed the opening hours of the proposed new bar would be from 10am to 1.30am. The sale of alcohol would be permitted between 10am and 1am the following day.
