Winsor Bishop has stood in Norwich's London Street for 187 years, making it one of the country's oldest jewellers, but did you know where the name came from?

The shop will soon see the biggest changes in its history with the name changing to that of new owners Prestons and a number of renovations taking place.

The London Street store was first set up by brothers Alfred and Edwin Samuel Pegler in 1834 but was acquired by Richard Winsor Bishop in 1897.

Mr Winsor Bishop had opened his first shop with his wife Edith Gaydon in 1887 in Grantham, Lincolnshire.

However, they took their original shop frontage from the Grantham store with them and installed it at the Norwich branch.

During his time in Norwich, Mr Winsor Bishop also became company commander of Norwich Special Constabulary in 1918.
