Historic York building which dates from English Civil War to enjoy new lease of life as Berry's luxury jewellery store

When 60 Stonegate in York was built in 1646, a civil war was raging which divided families and communities across Britain.

Now the historic building is set to enjoy a new lease of life as part of a retail empire.

The luxury jewellery specialist, Berry’s, has announced it will open a showroom inside 60 Stonegate next Spring. It will be the third Berry’s store in York.
