IT'S all change on Coney Street - and these photos are just part of the story.
Beauty giants Lush are preparing to move into a larger premises at 52 Coney Street - and as our photos show, work is continuing apace ahead of the planned opening later this month.
The popular cosmetics company currently operates from a much smaller site at number 3 Coney Street.
The move coincides with broader plans for the renovation of Coney Street - historically the city's premier shopping street - which will see new access routes from Coney Street through to York riverside.
Under these plans, number 3 Coney Street - where Lush currently operates from - will be demolished.
The plans were approved by City of York Council last month.
Lush is planning to open the new store on Friday, November 22 - in time for Christmas shopping.
The new site was formerly Mappin & Webb jewellers and before that was a Burton menswear store for many years.
Lush mark II is 100sqm. It will open at noon on the 22nd and the first 100 customers over the door will receive a special gift of Lush products to celebrate the expansion.
