A historic Sefton building which has been a shop since the 1870s could soon become a wine bar under new plans.
A planning application has been submitted to Sefton Council on behalf of Craft and Sons, to change the building at 479 Lord Street in Southport into a wine bar with three studio flats.
The Grade II building, which was purpose-built as a shop in 1877, was previously occupied by fashion outlet Jaeger until it closed in 2017, with a furniture shop later opening on the site, although that too shut down in 2022.
