A THAI restaurant has been put on the market after closing its doors earlier this summer, Baan Siam Thai Cuisine in Dalton Road, Barrow is currently listed for sale at £99,000.

According to the property listing, Barrow Borough Council has confirmed approval to convert the first and second floors of the premises into self-contained one bedroom flats.
