SIGNAGE for a national bakery chain has gone up on a former GP surgery in Carlisle.
The Greggs signage is now in place following a surge of preparatory work at the former Harraby surgery building on the corner of Eastern Way and London Road.
It hasn't yet been confirmed when the new bakery will open.
The site previously belonged to the Eastern Way Surgery, which closed in 2022 due to South Carlisle Health Care merging services from Brunswick House, Eastern Way, and Arnside House.
In June, the News & Star revealed that Greggs submitted an application to transform the former surgery building into a fast-food outlet.
The fast-food giant officially acquired the site in July.
As outlined in the plans, the company anticipates hiring 12 staff members in total, with two being full-time positions and 10 being part-time. No change of use application is required on the site.
In Carlisle, Greggs also has stores on Devonshire Street, Denton Street, The Lanes, Scotch Street and Kingstown Industrial Estate.
