Kay Weatherell, who opened the Montpellier Mews Antiques Centre (now called the Montpellier Mews Antiques Market) in 1988 with her late husband John, said: “After 35 years I have decided to step back from it and I am delighted that our antiques centre will continue with Vincent and Lesley. I wish them all the very best for their future in Harrogate.”
Page and White’s nearest northern outpost is at Bowness-on-Windermere and the Antiques on High brand is also evident in Oxford, Sidmouth and Taunton.
The couple took over the North Yorkshire venture last month, which makes this their fifth antiques centre to open in seven years.
Page said: “Harrogate is a beautiful place and suits our trade very well. Our initial goal is to bring in some new dealers from the locality and Left: Vincent Page and partner Lesley White who have taken over the long-established Montpellier Mews Antiques Market in Harrogate.
Fresh case in point
The Weatherell name is also linked to the Grade 11-listed former magistrates court in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, which was bought by Kay Weatherell’s son Philip in 2016.
He opened the building as an antiques centre in 2019.
