Farnworth Bank Building Under Enforcement | Manchester News

An old Farnworth bank building, once the Bank of Bolton and dating back to 1877, is facing demolition orders after unauthorized renovations—including metal shutters and an illegal extension—were slapped on without council approval. Residents lament how the changes “ruined the side of the building,” while the council demands full restoration within two months, with nine months allotted for facade repairs. Plans to convert part of the structure into a seven-bedroom home were previously rejected due to inadequate kitchen and outdoor space. The enforcement notice, issued in August 2026, aims to preserve the historic architecture after the building closed as a bank in May 2025.
