Plans to convert former Slug & Lettuce in Harrogate
Plans have been submitted to convert the Herald Buildings in Harrogate, which was most recently home to the Slug & Lettuce pub, into four retail units and apartments.
Built in the 1850s, the buildings were also the headquarters of the Harrogate Advertiser newspaper for much of the last century until it moved out in 1990.
The Slug & Lettuce chain then occupied part of the buildings for nearly 30 years before closing in May last year.
Plans were submitted last week by Leeds-based developer Rushbond PLC to give it a new lease of life.
It hopes to subdivide the downstairs pub into four retail units and convert the upstairs area into five apartments.
It's in the Montpellier Quarter which is a popular area for boutique shops.
The plans have been designed by Harrogate-based SPX Architects. Documents say the development would "enhance the area's reputation" as a destination for independent boutique-style shops.
It says:
HBC will decide on the plans at a later date.
