Plans have been lodged for the redevelopment of the Grade II-listed former Royal Bank of Scotland on Church Street in Sheffield city centre to create a new health hub.
Sheffield City Council is behind the plans that would feature two GP practices and flexible shared bookable spaces for other health providers.
Under the plans, alterations would be made to the listed building, but demolition is limited to the creation of a new entry point on the west elevation of the building through the shared access with Cutlers’ Hall.
The building replaced an earlier bank for the Sheffield and Rotherham Bank in 1866-1867, designed by Flockton and Abbott, and constructed by Mr J Niell of Bradford and Sheffield.
In 1907, the bank was acquired by Williams Deacon’s Bank of London and Manchester, later becoming Williams & Glyn’s Bank and subsequently disappearing within Royal Bank of Scotland, which closed the branch in 2022.
