An application to return the Grade II listed 7 and 8 Tontine Hill in Ironbridge into two retail spaces has this week been submitted to the local planning authority.
Currently, the ground floor retail space that is operating as a newsagents and ice cream parlour spans both properties, having at one point been combined to make a single unit.
However the application submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council has suggested the large space is no longer needed, and permission to restore the historical divide is being sought.
The proposal states that the "viability of newsagents" has diminished in recent years as newspaper sales have declined, and the store has diversified into selling gifts and ice creams.
