AN ‘OPTICAL boutique’ in Bournemouth has celebrated its 40th anniversary and a move to new premises.

Barnaby’s Opticians was founded by David Barnaby, who wanted to reflect the thriving fashion industry of the 1970s.

He has joined forces with Chris and Louise Barrington to move the Bournemouth store to The Arcade in Bournemouth.

Guests included Mike Kirkley, managing director of lens manufacturer Essilor.

Louise Barrington said: “We have always and will always stay faithful to our ideals and concepts, keeping Baranby’s an optical boutique full of luxury eyewear and sunglasses."
