The owners of a Bristol opticians practice are retiring from the business more than 40 years after it was originally opened.
Ruth Davies and Nina Newsom, the founders of Newsom and Davies Opticians in Henleaze, will hang up their ophthalmoscopes at the end of this year, having agreed a takeover deal with national group Bayfields Opticians and Audiologists.
Ms Newsom and John Barrand first opened the opticians in 1977, with Ms Davies joining in 1986, establishing a partnership that rebranded to its current name in the 1990s.
