PUB conversion plans are progressing well and the new drinking venue to expected to open in a month.

Amber Taverns is currently working to transform the former Post Office building on Park Street, Brighouse.

The firm received the go-ahead from planners in September for the conversion, and pledged to turn it into a modern community pub, called The Old Post Office.

A spokesman for the firm said at the time that the development would take around eight weeks, so they were hoping to open towards the end of November, early December.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

When the Telegraph & Argus asked for an update on the development, a spokesman said it was “proceeding well” and that the opening date was likely to be mid-December.

At the time the plans were passed, the firm said that Brighouse had been on its target list for a number of years.

“Amber is really excited to be in Brighouse, it has been on our target town list for 15 years – a great town to invest in,” they said.

The plans involve a lounge and bar area on the ground floor, alongside a garden area with seating, and the first floor would also have a bar and seating area, and an office.

The building had previously been run as a restaurant known as The Office.
