A former branch of Yorkshire Bank on Sheffield's Fargate is to become a pub, its been confirmed.
To be named 'The Fargate', the project will be overseen by local brewery Thornbridge & Co, which first announced its intentions to take on the disused building last year.
The firm has now outlined detailed plans for the venue including releasing several images of how it could look inside.
It will sit across two floors with a large outdoor area capable of fitting 250 people.
Construction is now starting with completion due this autumn.
It comes as wider regeneration work on Fargate draws to a close, with footfall increasing by 14% between March and April this year.
Simon Webster, CEO and co-founder of Thornbridge & Co said:
“This project has been over two years in the making, and we’re thrilled to be nearing the finish line."
"We can’t wait to welcome the people of Sheffield and become a part of this dynamic and evolving city centre.”
Cllr Ben Miskell, Chair of Sheffield City Council’s Transport, Regeneration and Climate Committee said:
“We look forward to seeing The Fargate completed and open for business, adding yet another brilliant venue for the people of Sheffield to enjoy a drink and bite to eat.”
