Dave Baksh and Lucy Elmes in The Red Lion Antiques and Craft Shop.
An antiques shop has opened in a former stable next to a pub in East Bergholt, Suffolk. The Red Lion Antiques and Craft Shop and the Red Lion pub are both owned by Jonathan Peachey, a pharmaceuticals businessman.
He had lived next door to the pub for more than 10 years, and when the Grade II-listed properties were put up for sale he bought them and spent two years on renovation. The shop, which sells Georgian, Victorian, vintage and retro items as well as newly made crafts, opened before Christmas.
