Life in the 'friendly' Nottinghamshire village that has thriving independent businesses

When it comes to independent businesses East Leake has it all. There is a wide range of shops, restuarants and other outlets in the village where traders aim to have things available locally so the community don’t have to travel far from their home.

The Greengrocer, Captcha Photography, Googie’s Flowers, Double D’s Coffee, and Carpet Image, are just some of the many retailers that build up the community feel.

Haley Mason, has owned Captcha Photography for almost a decade. She said: "We set up in the village since 2004 with a studio. I do photography shoots of anything, a dog, a cat, a family. We also print from people’s mobile phones, we frame and we sell art."
