Shopkeepers spread Christmas cheer in Rotherham and Dinnington

Among the most impressive efforts were those of The Lilac Cupboard in Dinnington and Rotherham’s Cryer’s Chemists.

Staff at The Lilac Cupboard welcomed a special civic visitor as reward for their creativity.

The Little Mayor of Rotherham, Zoe Fathers, performed her final 2015 engagement when she presented the prize for the best dressed window in Dinnington — held as part of the town’s — Christmas Festival to Sue Norton from the shop.

Meanwhile, Cryers Chemist’s on Kenneth Street installed a prize crop of decorations in their window.
