An empty church has been transformed into a state-of-the-art veterinary practice after a £300,000 investment.
Clifton Lodge Veterinary Group has left its home of 40 years in Horden, near Peterlee, Co Durham, and moved into the larger, former Independent Methodist Church to meet increasing demand.
The church has been completely renovated and refurbished with three consulting rooms, a laboratory, dispensary, x-ray room and several other facilities.
