THE owner of a revived cafe is looking for pictures of the business when it was last open.

Janet Aberdeen will open Cafe Continental, in Commercial Street, Crook, next month.

It will be on the site of the former Continental Cafe. Ms Aberdeen, who is opening the coffee shop with her friend Hazel Ross, wants photographs of the former cafe to decorate the new business.

She said: "Everybody in Crook can remember it as the Continental. I can only just remember it myself, so it must be at least 30 years since it was last a cafe.

"It is a quite famous cafe in Crook, so that is why we called it this."

She said the pair had unsuccessfully searched for photographs in the library and with local historians.

Anyone who can help is asked to call Ms Aberdeen on 01388-764736.
