Plans to turn a former Shrewsbury town centre bookshop into two townhouses have been submitted.
A planning application submitted by real estate agents JJ Signature Holdings Ltd has suggested that 28-29 Princess Street in Shrewsbury could become two residential townhouses.
Bidding farewell to his customers after 50 years, owner Edward Thornhill said:"We would like to express our most sincere thanks to all customers who visited Candle Lane Books over the last 50 years. The new proposals state the intention to retain the majority of the shopfront of number 29 and replace 28's shopfront with sash windows.Aside from that, the plans include little suggestion of works to the outside of the property, save general repairs.
"The work will improve the functionality, viability and future life of the building by returning the building to its original use... All existing features of architectural and historic interest are intended to be retained in-situ and fully protected during the approved works.
