A DOMESTIC appliance shop in the heart of York has NOT closed, its managing director says.

Chris Watson, managing director at Blackwell & Denton, in Colliergate, says the shop has closed for a refit, and wants to quash false reports circulating on social media that the shop has closed for good.

Mr Watson said: “The shop hasn't actually closed, we're still trading, and I just want to get the word out there to let people know that the closure is just temporary.

"York Conservation Trust, who own the building, are carrying out a refit and they are going to spruce it up. The assets have been sold, but the business is still trading and we're just getting rid of old stock.

"I have a meeting with the trust tomorrow (September 15) so I might have a better idea of when we'll be reopening after that.

"In the meantime we're still offering free delivery for items and we are available on the phone (01904) 659066 or via the website: blackwellanddenton.com"
