    Appleton's Butchers will open in Knaresborough on August 18. The Yorkshire chain has been working on its Knaresborough store for over four years.

    Appleton's Butchers has stores in Boroughbridge, Ripon, Knaresborough and Wetherby.

    Appleton's Butchers is opening a new shop in Knaresborough on August 18.

    The shop will be the fifth Appleton's in Yorkshire - with others in Ripon, Boroughbridge, Wetherby and York. The shop will create new employment opportunities and encourage people to shop locally.

    The butchers chain was established in Ripon in 1867 and is famous for its handmade pork pies.

    The Knaresborough premises just off Market Place have taken over four years to renovate. Unforeseen circumstances caused the opening to be delayed.

    Owners Anthony and Isabel Sterne have continued to operate throughout lockdown to support the local communities. Mr Sterne said:

    "We are so excited to be joining the Knaresborough community and look forward to welcoming local residents, who have been hugely patient whilst we have redeveloped the shop.
    “Although currently we’re not allowed to have a big opening event, we will be inviting suppliers and friends on an appointment basis, so we are able to comply with social distancing measures.”

    Martin Sterne, manager of the renovation project, said:

    "The medieval back wall was bowing out and the whole building was in danger of collapse.
    “The ancient timber frame was in a serious state of disrepair. We were committed to sourcing materials that were in keeping with the original ones. Part of the building dates back to the 17th century, so it was hugely important to us that it retained its character and integrity.”
