AN award-winning museum is expanding in a bid to encourage more visitors.
The National Railway Museum (NRM), in York, is opening a shop in the city.
It is leasing the premises in St Helen's Square, York, which were once the home of Terry's confectionery makers.
The current shop within the museum has become increasingly successful and the need for expansion of retail services led to the move.
Museum deputy head Janice Murray said: "The range of merchandise sold in the current shop has improved dramatically and it is now time to extend the services we offer to our customers.
"The ideal location to expand the business is the city centre and St Helen's Square provides the perfect opportunity to do this."
