Two businesses are transforming their shop fronts back to how they would have been in the early 20th century. Flossie & Boo and the Travail Employment Group are businesses located in Newark town centre, and have both have planning applications approved to replace their current shop frontages with a more traditional design.
Flossie & Boo, an independent children's boutique, will be restoring the existing front storage so that it has hints of the art deco movement, and will use features from when the Grade II premises was owned by G.H Porter Provisions a century ago. The design has been planned by Guy Taylor Associates of Newark, and in an almost authentic replica will have a bronze painted signage on a black painted timber fascia panel.
This will be installed alongside dark green glazed Victorian style bricks for the stall riser. Owner of the store, Carly Carpenter, said: "I am very excited about the intended project.
