The bank closed in 2007. A local businessman bought it in 2022 aiming to create a cafe and 10 flats. Some work took place before the building was abandoned again.

The new shop is next to the giant Moorfoot office which Sheffield City Council plans to convert into flats in a drive for an extra 20,000 residents in the city centre.
