The family-run Eve & Ranshaw store had traded in Louth since 1781

The former home of what was one of the UK's oldest family-run department stores is to be turned into a cafe bar.

Eve & Ranshaw had traded in Louth, Lincolnshire, since 1781, but in January its owner said it was "no longer viable".

The shop in the Grade II-listed building on Market Place closed its doors in February.

Now hospitality firm Loungers has said it will be opening the Alfredo Lounge in the building from early October.
