In 2016 the building was purchased by Stockvale, who were eager to restore the Britannia to its former glory however the dangerous conditions caused complications. Eager to preserve the building’s rich heritage, the front of the building was maintained whilst the renovations works took place. A full restoration began of the exterior and interior finally re-opened in September 2019 and open as a high-quality, fish & chip restaurant.
