The couple behind a well-known jewellers in the city centre have been reflecting on their time behind the counter as they prepare to close the shop and retire. J Herbert Jewellers has been a flagship on Wheeler Gate for 33 years.
Husband and wife David and Julia Heath opened the shop in May 1996 and had been part of the business since 1989. They decided to move on to Wheeler Gate after the lease on the previous store at Trinity Square came to an end.
The building in Wheeler Gate had been occupied as a jewellery shop under different owners before. And as they prepare to retire and take a well-earned break, it's the social side of the business the couple will miss the most.
