The transformation of a once popular nightclub into flats is progressing after over a year of work.
Work has been ongoing at the former Palace nightclub building, on Station Hill in Chippenham, after plans were approved to convert the venue into 13 residential flats.
Over a year after the start of construction the historic building, which had been a nightlife venue for over 100 years, pictures have shown the changes of the front of the site.
The residential scheme will see the property transformed into 11 one-bedroom flats and a further two two-bedroom units.
The existing façade will be retained meaning that the iconic frontage will remain “largely unaltered” by the conversion.

The building most recently housed cocktail bar Tantra downstairs, and nightclub SN15 upstairs, but shut several years ago for the final time.
It was originally used as a roller rink and cinema, under the name The Electric, and showed films as early as 1910.
Over the last century it has been rebranded several times and has been known as The Palace, the Chippenham Royal Snooker Club, Buds 2000, and Karma.
