Leonard Dews Lytham, Lancashire

Christmas in Lytham has an extra sparkle this year...thanks to the opening of a showpiece £250,000 jeweller's, as part of the revamped Talbot Hotel development on Clifton Street.

The glittering Leonard Dews shop has got off to a spectacular start, attracting eager festive shoppers with its luxury ranges. Leonard Dews is run by award-winning businessman Michael Hyman, who is also part of the Lytham Partnership consortium, which bought the Talbot Hotel and is transforming the historic site into a small, high quality mix of five shops and apartments.

His new store occupies the prime corner unit and complements the company's existing shop in Blackpool, which is acknowledged as one of the leading independent jewellers in the North West, along with the company's acclaimed Wilkins store in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
