Work begins on Blackpool's new hotel and bar development

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 10:02 · Archive

Construction has started on a multi-million pound hotel and bar to replace the demolished former Yates Bar on Blackpool's South Shore Promenade.

Construction has started on a replacement development at 407-411 Promenade in Blackpool following the demolition of the former Yates Bar. The original Art Deco building, which was locally listed, was demolished after its concrete and steel structure deteriorated significantly. Initial plans had aimed to retain much of the original building including its distinctive frontage, but chronic deterioration meant the structure could not be made safe.

The new three-storey building has been approved by Blackpool Council and will contain a hotel and drinking establishment alongside extended food provision. The development will also feature dining and events space, a roof terrace, a front canopy with roof terrace above, a three-storey rear extension, and a single-storey glazed rear seating area. External rendering and cladding will complete the design.

According to the development team, the new building is expected to be completed next year. The replacement building will be of the same scale and footprint as the original structure.
