Cooper & Leatherbarrow was established in 1902 by Ernest Cooper in a former photographer's business on the corner of Russell Street and Northgate in Darlington (opposite to where Marks & Spencerscurrently stands). George Leatherbarrow joined the practice in 1912 and the business became Cooper & Leatherbarrow in the mid-1930s.

Both my husband and myself have unusual and difficult (but differing) eye problems that require a specialised Optometrist to dispense our lens prescriptions. We have found Alex Wade and his staff atRees & Wade to give expert advice in a friendly but most professional and competent manner.
