He had initially been looking at Cambridge, but was attracted to Bury because it was more affordable and still had a city feel.

He added: It s the best of both worlds. And St John s Street has got such a nice character. It s full of independent shops.
Mr Develi had been running an artisan café in Hackney with his brother before the move and will be bringing elements of that to Midgar; a vintage feel, nice atmosphere and single origin coffee.
