Apartments plan for former Oswestry Courthouse
A disused magistrates court could be turned into residential apartments if an application is granted planning permission.
Oswestry Courthouse Ltd has put a planning application into Shropshire Council to convert the former court into 10 apartments.
The building is owned by Shropshire Council and the Ministry of Justice, and the application was submitted earlier this month.
The court sat for the final time back in 2011, but was closed as part of Government cuts that saw five criminal and civil courts across the county close.
The court building was originally a high school for boys, however it stopped being an educational establishment when a schools reorganisation was carried out in the town and Oswestry High Schools merged in 1979.
