The owner of a city antiques store has been forced to move into a bigger store because of a boom in business.
Sirplus Trading has moved from its former home at 19 Magdalen Street to 98 Magdalen Street, next to Poundland.
Business owner Keith Ewing said: "The shop is doing really well so we have had to move into a bigger site.

"It has been going well so far - our regular customers have followed us and we've met a few new people too.
"We really needed more space to display everything better."
The shop specialises in antiques and collectables, with a range of curios, bric-a-brac and militaria available.

It also has an entire floor dedicated to Warhammer, a tabletop miniature wargame with collectable figurines that people can paint themselves.

Sirplus Trading only opened in its new home at the end of July, so Keith has been working to build up the shop, which now spans two floors.

He said: "We are here, we can't wait to see more of our regular customers and welcome new people."
Sirplus Trading originally opened in Magdalen Street in 2018 and was easily recognised by its bright blue paintwork.

It underwent a revamp earlier this year but more space was needed to display all of the stock that Keith gathers.
The shop has gained a big following in recent years for its range of Pokemon cards, with customers flocking to the site when Keith announces a new "drop" on Facebook.
It also sells older gaming gadgets, including Game Boy Colours and Nintendo 2DS.
The shop is open between 10am and 3.30pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and until 2.30pm on Mondays.
