HERBALIST Charlie Abbott's name lives on.

The late Mr Abbott's Leigh practice closed last September following the death of his widow.

It is now owned by a Scottish natural medicine company, and has re-opened as Abbotts of Leigh in Railway Road.

The dispensary side of the business is open, but consultations will only be available in May following refurbishments.
