With a price tag of circa £125,000, is a buyer poised to swoop for Grimsby's long-empty Welholme Galleries?

 

Welholme Galleries - has a buyer at last been found?

 

IS a fresh chapter set to open for the Welholme Galleries building in  Grimsby'?

The Grade II Listed building's use as a museum and, before that, as a United Reformed Church have long since ceased, and it has stood empty for many years.

A few years ago, there were hopes that it might find a buyer, when, priced at £200,000, it was said to 'under offer' .

Since then the price has been reduced to £125,000, and according to commercial property agents PPH, it is again under offer.

The property is of traditional solid brick and stone construction beneath a series of pitched slate roofs with ornate windows and various period features, both internally and externally.

Might it once again become a church - or perhaps even a mosque? Could it be converted to offices or maybe to apartments? Or even a restaurant?

More details are available from the Grimsby office of  PPH.

* Elsewhere in the borough, the empty Methodist chapel on Humberston Avenue, Humberston is also reported to be under offer.  

The magnificent interior of a building that time seems to have forgotten
