Café Nellie is the latest edition to Chatsworth Road, having been opened by owner Tracey Wallis at the start of May.
Tracey ran the Pekoe Café inside the Northern Tea Merchants for around five years – but decided to take on a new challenge, opening her own premises after renovating the old William Hill bookies.
Here are 11 photos that show customers what they can expect at Café Nellie.

The café opened on May 3, and Tracey said: “We just decided it was time for us to be independent. It’s a new challenge, and we like that - we’re heading for the biggest recession in years but we’re going to do it.” Photo: Brian Eyre
4. Brilliant response so far
Tracey said: “The response has been absolutely fantastic - we’ve had so many customers follow us down here and they’ve been really enthusiastic. Honestly, it makes me want to cry sometimes, because everyone has been so kind.” Photo: Brian Eyre
