A homes plan at a former historic hotel site has taken a major step forward as steel construction has gone up.
Images from the site off Leigh Broadway shows the steel and construction works at the back of the building.
The former hotel, which dates back to 1899, is being converted by developers 460 Leisure into 18 apartments, with a basement restaurant, spa and shop.
Images also show a crane on the site and hoardings still surrounding the building site in the town centre.

Back in May bosses at the development said, during an exclusive Echo interview, that it would be completed within a year and that with hundreds of people were already queuing up to move in.
At the time the bosses said the firm was building up a data base of interested potential buyers, with about 200 people on the waiting list for the 18 flats.
The building was owned by the late television star and businessman Mick Norcross, who died last January.
Developer 460 Leisure has been contacted for comment.
