Plans to convert working men's club into shops and flats
Sunderland Echo
|October 14, 2025
Plans to convert a Sunderland social club into new shop units and residential flats have been submitted to council development bosses.
-
Sunderland City Council's planning department has received an application for Ryhope Working Men's Club in Ryhope Street.
The social club, known locally as 'Ryhope Top Club', sits next to the Foresters Arms pub and had been open for more than a century.
However, the venue closed in summer 2025, citing lower custom in recent years, and the club site was put on the market.
New plans from BJL Property Services Ltd have applied for permission to change the use of the site to a "mixed use" comprising four ground-floor retail units and five two-bedroom apartments.
Plans are also proposing "external alterations to include render, new shop fronts, new windows and doors and installation of PV panels to roof."
