The listed Victorian building is again being referred to as Market House

A North Down women’s group is seeking funding to turn a derelict Danske Bank in Bangor into a community and business centre.

The council letter of support to the women’s centre states: “The building has been placed on the ‘Heritage at Risk’ list by the Department of Communities Historic Environment Division, and we are keen to assist and support the Women’s Centre’s reversal of this designation, through the refurbishment and innovative programmes it delivers to the community.

“Your project will enhance and complement all efforts being made to revitalise and renew the city centre and we would support your application, as the repurposing of this key city centre asset will be of benefit to the wider Bangor community. We hope and look forward to your application being successful and to work being able to start the building’s transformation as soon as possible.”
