A PYRAMID known as the "eighth wonder of the world" in the north of England is set to be given a new lease of life and reopened to the public.<\/p>\n

The word "pyramid" is more commonly associated with the Egyptians or the Aztecs, but the UK has an impressive pyramid all of its own in Stockport.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It used to be the home of the Co-op bank's call centre, but since they moved on in 2018, it has remained empty.<\/p>\n

Now, Indian restaurant chain the Royal Nawaab is hoping to create abanqueting hall in the blue glass building in time for next summer.<\/p>\n

Royal Nawaab already has two restaurants in London, one in Ealing and another in Ilford, and the pyramid looks set to be their next location.<\/p>\n

Mahboob Hussain, the restaurant's founder, has said that he wants to "breathe much needed life" into the building with "an unforgettable dining experience".<\/p>\n

Brand new UK attraction opening this week that is ‘like a video game in real life’<\/h3>\n

He told Place North West: "We are hoping to breathe much needed life into this iconic building and bring with it a significant investment and job creation into the Stockport and Greater Manchester region.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received a positive reaction to our plans from local people and media. It truly is an iconic building that has put Stockport on the map. <\/p>\n

"We now want to bring it back to life with a truly unforgettable dining experience for diners across Stockport, Greater Manchester and beyond.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Royal Nawaab made their intentions for the building clear in a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n

They shared a video of the pyramid declaring "the icon is back".<\/p>\n

They also gave a hint as to when the new restaurant might open, adding: "Unveiling the Grandeur: New Royal Nawaab Manchester Opening Summer 2024."<\/p>\n

The building has both an interesting past and relationship with the locals.<\/p>\n

Originally, it was supposed to be one of five pyramids that would have made up Manchester's own 'Valley of Kings' like the one created in ancient Egypt.<\/p>\n

However, only one ended up being built, after the developers ran into financial problems.<\/p>\n

Co-op ended up having to pay for its construction which was completed in 1992.<\/p>\n

The bank didn't make use of it until 1995, when they moved their call centre into the building.<\/p>\n

Manchester Evening News say that the restaurant would "breathe new life into one of Greater Manchester's most intriguing structures".<\/p>\n

One local, Richard Dempsey told The Sun he thinks the new restaurant could work out well.<\/p>\n

He said: "I think it will be a bit more than a restaurant. If it takes off in the Asian community it will be a winner.<\/p>\n

"It's local landmark that just off the motorway, so families could visit from all over. <\/p>\n

"It could become a venue for Asian family events and parties – even weddings. They have decent sized car park too."<\/p>\n

Another local, Angela Redman, said she was fond of the pyramid as it lets her know she's home when returning from her holidays and hopes the new business is a success.<\/p>\n

She said: "It's such a famous building that we all fly over on our way back home.<\/p>\n

"I hope the restaurant works – it would be such a shame if it had to come down."<\/p>\n
