"ARTERIA - ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SHOPS IN LANCASTER" - 04/02/2010

Judith Coyle is a well respected Lancaster based writer and editor who originally trained as a journalist.

She has a fab new website and blog spot and we are thrilled to have been given such a positive mention on it! If you follow the link below you can see Judith's blog in full but here is the super entry Judith has put together about us.

Just wanted to share this pic of one of Lancaster's most popular arty, craftsy shops which we visit quite often. Arteria with Gallery 23 is owned by Jane Richardson who won the Business Rocks Business Woman of the Year award for 2008. The annual event, organised by our very own Chamber of Commerce along with Bay Business Centre, Business Link and Rotaract, recognises local businesses which are making a difference to our city. Jane’s achievement is particularly impressive in that her business is just 4 ½ years old and she began it at the relatively young age of 25. In that time she and her team have made the Arteria shop, which sells design-led gifts, and the contemporary art gallery upstairs, one of Lancaster’s most respected shops.
