Packet House building on Bridge Street now under offer

It suggests that a huge development is planned for the corner of Bridge Street and Mersey Street at Bridgefoot.

The under offer buildings in question total six on Bridge Street itself, including the former Packet House pub.

Loved by generations of Warrington residents, the building has fallen into such disrepair over the past decade that it has been labelled as ‘dying of shame’.

Also under offer is Priory House on Mersey Street, meaning that if the offer on all is by the same source, a huge development could be in the works.

The buildings have a combined value of more than £1.8million, and are advertised looking for offers in excess of this amount.

Priory House itself is listed for offers of more than £1million, while offers above £250,000 are sought for Packet House.

Estate agent listings say all of the buildings could provide a ‘development opportunity’.

The former Packet House was one of Warrington's most popular drinking spots.

It was well-loved by everyone in Warrington until the last landlady Ethel Smith retired in 1976.

It then has numerous rebrands and relaunches since, including Tiger Tiger and Bar Zero, but closed in the early 2000s.
