It looks great!
The site of a former Ulster Bank building in a Co Tyrone town has officially opened as a coffee shop.
The closure of the bank building in the town was lamented by many four years ago. Don told Belfast Live it was a loss to the area but that he wanted to use the building to bring something that was needed to Stewartstown.“The building was built by Mr Shanbury who was a local merchant who dealt in fabrics in the 1830s," he said.
“It had been a bank from 1925 up until four years ago when it closed. It was a big loss because it was always busy, they were queuing out the door. The new business opened its doors to the public last Monday, and Don said he was overwhelmed by the positive response from local people.
