He said:
Zoe Wotherspoon, whose Robin Gifts ladies fashion and accessories occupies the prime front of store position, said:
The reconfiguration has enabled her business to expand by 40 percent, while Linda Liversidge, proprietor of Montpellier Dressers - which, like Robin Gifts was previously located in Harrogate - has also expanded and increased its range of vintage high end fashion and accessories.
Ms Liversidge (pictured above) said:
During the transformative works, entry was via the Marshall Way Car Park entrance and the Hive Cafe – which was able to remain open throughout."
