COHENS Chemist caught the eye of the public with its festive window display.

The Princess Street business won the Knutsford Christmas Window Competition organised by Knutsford Town Council.

The top three were presented with their certificates and a trophy for the overall winner by town mayor Cllr Peter Coan.

The festive windows were featured on the town council’s Facebook page, and the number of ‘likes’ from the public were counted to see which were the favourites.

Each year the standard and number of entries continues to increase, with a range of retailers and businesses including Clarity Contemporary Jewellers, Gerald’s the Jewellers, White Orchid, Mr Simms and Clare and Illingworth.

Second place in this year’s competition was Locktons of Knutsford, and third spot went to Pulse of Perfumery.

Cllr Coan said: “It’s wonderful to see so many shops, restaurants and businesses getting into the Christmas spirit and joining in this competition.

“Congratulations to the three worthy winners and to everyone who made the effort to add some Christmas sparkle to our town.

“We know it is a busy time of year for all, and we are grateful for the time and effort given to these wonderful displays.

“Of course, the true winners are the visitors and residents of Knutsford who get to enjoy the lovely displays.”
