Restaurants scheme for old seaside toilet block
IMAGES for the transformation of the Grade II-listed toilet block on Barry Island into a restaurant hub have been released.
The disused changing-rooms, which have a commanding view of Whitmore Bay, will be called Nell’s Point and will be home to four restaurants.
One the restaurants will be housed on the roof of the current building and there will be an extension on the side of the building, nearest the car park, to facilitate another.
James Morse, of Morse Affiliated, the company behind the development, expects the hub to enhance the diningout options in Barry.
“We hope to create an evening atmosphere on Barry Island and enhance the daytime offering, much in the same way we did at Mumbles with the Oyster Wharf development,” Mr Morse said.
“We hope these images will get a positive response.”
Cllr John Thomas, leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: “I’m sure everyone is as excited as I am by the plans for the old public conveniences at Nell’s Point. The vibrant design of the building is in keeping with the Island’s revival as a modern seaside resort.
“The council has committed significant resources to upgrading the Island over the last few years and it is encouraging to see this commitment to ongoing private investment in the area.”
