A WARRINGTON-based property development firm has made an offer for a recognisable building in the town centre. Pod Property Group, which operates out of Wilson Patten Street, has submitted a bid to buy the former TJ Hughes building on Sankey Street. Before TJ Hughes, the property was occupied by Co-op and has more recently been used as a 99p store, but it has largely been empty of late. The whole building has not been open since the days of the Co-op department store which closed in 1997. The building (right) when used by Co-op TJ Hughes closed its doors in 2011. The four-storey property is on the market for £1.9million, with the listing stating that there is residential development opportunity for the upper floors.
