During the 1990s the bank was renamed HSBC Bank after HSBC acquired the Midland Bank. It closed on 6 June 2008 when HSBC relocated to St Ann's Square. After some refurbishment, an Italian restaurant run by Jamie Oliver opened [[5590752]] in part of the building at #100 King Street. The upper storeys were then still awaiting renovation.
