A new chapter could soon open in the history of historic Grimsby building

                                                             

Read all about it - books galore?

THERE could soon be an independent bookshop in Grimsby.

An application has been submitted for change of use of premises at 17-19 Bethlehem Street which, in recent years, have served as an art gallery and studio.

The proposal has been submitted by gallery owners Our Big Picture Ltd on behalf of a prospective tenant.

It is not entirely clear from the plans whether any part of the Grade II Listed building will be retained for art displays and activities.

A decision is expected later this spring from North East Lincolnshire Council planners.
