Hydes get green light to convert former police station in Heswall into a premium pub and dining site

15 August 2022

A former police station in Heswall, Merseyside which dates back to 1911 is set for a makeover after plans by Hydes Brewery to transform it into its latest pub restaurant were approved last week by by Wirral Council.

The "distinctive" arts and craft-style building, on Telegraph Road, was previously home to Heswall Police Station, but has been vacant since the station closed in 2014. 

Managing director Adam Mayers said: "The idea is to open a premium pub and dining site to offer food and good quality drinks. We will keep the façade of the building, most of the work will be internal to make it more appealing to diners and local drinkers.

"We're yet to decide on a name, but it's usually something to honour a local well-known individual, dignitary or something related to the building."

The Heswall venue will fall under Hydes' 'premium pub dining' and is the tenth site under the category. It is expected to create about 30 jobs and an opening is scheduled for mid-2023.
