Two prominent former shops in a Shropshire town are to be rejuvenated as commercial units and flats.
The former Dorothy Perkins and Nightingales shops on Cross Street, Oswestry will become units on the ground floor, and nine one and two-bedroom flats on the upper levels.
The works have also received funding from the High Street Heritage Action Zone Scheme , funded by Historic England, Oswestry Town Council and Shropshire Council. The project is being delivered through the Future Oswestry Group, which is comprised of representatives from Shropshire Council, Oswestry Town Council and Oswestry BID .
"The upper floors had remained vacant for many years and had suffered from neglect, but new life has been breathed into them with the formation of nine, new one-bedroom and two-bedroom flats. The flats offer convenient town centre living, whilst situated close to outstanding historic buildings. “The expertise of Shropshire Council’s historic environment team has been an invaluable resource in sourcing funding and advice, to ensure that the finished project enhances the historic core of this fabulous market town.”
