The front of the food and drink venue, located in Wellington Place, was crashed into by a drunk driver in December 2021 and had its large window destroyed. Although it carried on operating, the venue closed last month to allow for a new window to be installed and for structural refurbishment work to be carried out.
Mad Frans is now officially back open and Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Steve Riding was given a tour of the new-look interior.
