Making our patients happy and giving them the best care really is our highest priority.

Behind the scenes, we work hard to pick a variety of spectacles that will be ideal for all tastes. We can also seek out specific fames on request to find you the perfect frame that looks and feels great.

This week we've been taking a look at the history of Gibson and Thomson Opticians. Today we looked at what we could find in the newspapers 📚

We found some cool advertisements, competitions we ran, one starring a picture of Mark from 1995!

The most fascinating story was that of a mysterious photograph. Mark found it in the shop in 1999 and put out an appeal to find it's owner. Peggy came forward a week later saying she had recognised herself, her sister and her mother!

The photograph was reunited with her when her niece came to the shop to collect it 😀

This week, we're taking a historic look at Gibson and Thomson Opticians. Today, we're looking at the shop's location 📍

Directly on the historic high street, Gibson and Thomson's used to be situated further down the road at Old Post House, moving up the road to its current location in 2010. In the past, the building was Clarkson's Footwear 👞

It is amazing to see the wonderful shops that have been there before us 👓
