Vets add a new dimension to Kirkgate's commercial changes

Silsden Vets, specialising in small animals and pets, has opened at No. 74 Kirkgate, which previously was a tattoo parlour. Senior vet Kenneth Alexander and his border terrier Archie are pictured above with nurse/receptionist Deborah Troake. Silsden Vets' parent company is East Park Vets, of Harrogate. Mr Alexander will be mainly on duty in Silsden; at other times the vet will be Maria Balatsouka.

Silsden Vets adds to recent changes in Kirkgate, which include the packed opening on Sunday, February 24th, of the Old Post Office café and bar, The Yorkshire Vaper (at what was Rowlands pharmacy, between the Red Lion and Isherwood's butchers) and the C & K Nail Bar, where Nadine's used to be. I will be posting about these new businesses soon.
