Jersey family-owned company Beverley Ltd has applied to Planning to knock down part of 27 Esplanade – but renovate the 19th Century façade and incorporate part of the original internal features into a new courtyard – and Tower Carpets behind and build 1,480 square metres of office space. Tower Carpets will remain open for the time being.

27 Esplanade – a site of special interest – was built in the 1880s by the timber merchants William Huelin.
