Historic Shrewsbury building takes on a new role as beauty salon
Beautician Anna Morton-Marshall, has taken her new Shrewsbury salon back to its historic best.
The black and white, 16th Century building was one an important part of Shrewsbury's wool industry with wool from the Wales travelling by boat into Frankwell to be sold.
It has since been through a variety of guises and is now the home of House of Beauty a new venture for Anna.
She has stripped back the salon at 6A Frankwell to reveal the history that has given it its Grade 2 listed status from English Heritage.
Anna said: "I have been running my beauty business for eight years, renting space in other peoples' salons. In lockdown I decided I wanted my own salon and have been doing all the refurbishment.
"I wanted to create a beautiful, historic space and this building is perfect. There is still and old sign at the side which says that it was a wool merchants. If anyone has any old photos I would love to be able to use them in the salon."
Anna was keen to help young people onto the ladder to start their own career and so has given two, recently qualified beauticians their own space within House of Beauty without them having to pay rent.
