A Harrogate man who made a crust from selling sandwiches for a living has put himself in the picture with a new venture.

Nick Allan, who owned and ran Hetty Gray’s in Union Street for the last 12 years, has converted his shop into an art gallery and picture framing business.

Mr Allan has gone into business with Darren Schofield and Fiona Kell, who both worked at a framing shop just around the corner in Harrogate’s Oxford Street, and have more than 50 years’ experience in the trade between them.

He said: “I’d been running the sandwich business for the last 12 years and I was looking for a new challenge.”
