Clothing store to open in former art gallery

A large retail unit formerly occupied by Castle Fine Art, which relocated nearby, is to become a new Lucy & Yak clothing store.

The unit, in one of the city’s busiest thoroughfares, became empty after the gallery relocated.

Now Lucy & Yak is to open in the 1,300sqft store at 13, Back of the Inns.

The sustainable clothing firm sells dungarees, jeans, t-shirts and other items, with a range dedicated to Ed Sheeran fans.

Katie Bates, Commercial, Brown&Co, said: “Lucy & Yak will be an exciting addition to Back Of The Inns, where we have seen an increased number of lettings over the last few months to companies such as Joules, Castle Fine Art and most recently Saltrock.

“It's really encouraging to see a business that began online recognising the value of a physical presence on the high street. I hope this will set a precedent in Norwich and encourage other retailers to follow suit.”
