Vintage opening at Pickering's new antiques centre
Pickering’s last antiques centre closed in August last year and was sorely missed by locals and tourists alike.
The arrival of Pickering Antiques, which is situated between Surgery and Coopers of Pickering, has been hailed as a welcome addition to the town’s retail offering.

The antique centre comprises nine rooms across two floors with more than 30 dealers showcasing their collections.
Plans are already in place for several exciting ventures for the store over the coming six months ahead.
A spokesman said: “We’ve worked really hard over the past couple of months to turn the store into a place you can spend hours exploring making it a happy experience and for many a trip down memory lane.
