Bishop’s Weald House opposite the Lynd Cross pub in the Bishopric had been empty since fast food chain McDonald’s vacated the premises in 2014.

But opticians Specsavers have now settled into the building.

The opticians had been seeking larger premises and have relocated from their previous premises in West Street.

Another commercial unit on the same site – formerly occupied by Argos – was opened by Poundstretcher earlier this year.
