FASHION lovers have fond memories of Liberty of London's shop in Davygate in York.
Our photo today shows the exterior of the shop.
A byword for luxury, the Liberty brand was first established in London in 1875.
In 1955, Liberty began opening several regional stores across the UK cities, firstly in Manchester, then Bath, Brighton, Chester, Kingston upon Thames, Exeter, Norwich and York.
The York store was housed in a fine building in Davygate - just a stone's throw from Brown's Department store.
But by the mid 90s, Liberty announced the closure of its 20 shops outside London, and instead focused on smaller outlets at airports.
