New start date for restoration of one of Nuneaton town centre's oldest buildings
Works to restore of one of Nuneaton town centre's oldest buildings are on the verge of starting. The transformation of the upstairs of the magnificent former Conservative Club, which played home to St George's Hall, has long been on the cards.
These works were due to start last year but were then delayed. But now it has been revealed that the renovation is due to start in October.
It is the latest phase of the project at the prominent town centre building. The ground floor of what was Saints No More and Four Doors Down has been converted into a café and community hub, known as Saints.

Saints has cemented itself in the heart of the community, hosting a variety of events for everyone from school students to school pupils and parents.
Once complete, the first floor works will lead to more activities and events being staged. "We are excited to announce our Saints upstairs renovations are scheduled to start in October!! Our awesome Saints team are doing a superb job and we can’t wait to host more community activities and events in our hall from April 2025," the Saints team said.
"With thanks to Mayway Construction and the Transforming Nuneaton project for working with us on this exciting venture." The St George’s Hall was famed for its dances and its old wooden sprung floor, where generations danced the night away, is set to be restored.
