Art gallery and framing business Picture Box in High Street, Tring, has been put up
for sale.
The shop has been an integral part of the town centre for at least 15 years and owner
Elizabeth Land is a reluctant seller.
She explained: "My father recently passed away and my mother is recovering from
heart bypass surgery. I have therefore been spending an increasing amount of time visiting her in Wales.
"I simply cannot
commit the same time and energy that the shop deserves. I am lucky that I have some very patient customers who have been incredibly
understanding whilst friends and family have looked after the shop for me."

Christmas Festival at the end of the month.
Ten per cent from sales will go to the Chilterns Dog Rescue Society in Ashley
Green, Chesham.
Picture Box awarded first prize for the best apple themed window
This year's Apple Week saw Picture Box win first prize for a second year running.
The 'Magner's theme' was a little more cryptic than last year but Mayor Nick Hollinghurst recognised the 'apple cider'
link.
Thanks go to the locals of The Castle and The Robin Hood for drinking the Magners and emptying a barrel of beer.
