Observatory Southwold hosts housewarming event

Observatory the Opticians has hosted a charity event to celebrate the refit of its practice in Southwold.

The new look was inspired by the areas of Shoreditch and Hoxton, it said, under the guidance of London designer Adam Dale.

Practice manager Rene Moor said: ‘This significant investment is part of our commitment towards making Southwold a destination for high quality shops. As a local independent trader, we feel it is important retails standards in Southwold reflect the natural beauty and distinctive charm of the area.’

Money was raised towards a campaign by the family of 17-year-old Keira Dixon, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour after abnormalities were spotted by optometrist Greg Hybel at Wardale Williams the Opticians, part of the Observatory group.
