A PAWNBROKER in the town centre could be converted into an eatery.

Plans to turn the former Albemarle and Bond Pawnbrokers in Corporation Street into a cafe or restaurant have been received by Bolton Council this month.

A total of 30 customers could be accommodated at the new establishment if the proposal passes.

The application for prior approval also asks for an extraction flue on the rear of the building.

The opening hours of the new establishment would be 9am to 11pm every day of the week.

The application was submitted by Qinyan Zheng who is listed as living above Sanshan Chinese takeaway in Chorley Old Road.
