"Given the previous planning consent, the site has already attracted interest from investors and it would be great to see it transformed into an asset to the local Marsh community once again.

“Any change of use would require planning consent from Kirklees Council, but there are numerous possibilities for a new development in this bustling area.”

Bidding on the former toilets, and the other lots in Pugh’s online auction, opens on 16 August and closes the following day. To view the full catalogue, go to www.pugh-auctions.com.
