A CENTURY-old jewellers is settling into its new base in a shopping centre.

Bramwells recently opened its second store in the Prince Bishops shopping centre, in Durham City.

A family-run business, it has traded in Durham for more than 100 years and is now run by the fourth and fifth generations, Peter Bramwell and son Tony.

Having long outgrown its original premises on Elvet Bridge, the store is now more spacious and offers more choice of jewellery.

Peter Bramwell said: "Our stock long outgrew the original shop and we had problems putting everything on show.

"The Prince Bishops site is far more spacious, allowing us to be much more creative with our window displays and be able to show customers many more items.
