Why Parkhurst & Co

Our new Parkhurst & Co. Styling Opticians Thorne practice at 92 King Street — modern, bright, and ready to welcome you.

Better Parking, Bus Links and Train Links in Thorne

One of the biggest advantages of the new Opticians Thorne location is how easy it is to reach us.

At 92 King Street Thorne, you’ll now benefit from:

• Much closer parking directly outside or within a few metres

• Easier access for patients with mobility needs

• Improved bus links, with several routes stopping nearby

• Better train connections, via both Thorne North and Thorne South stations

This makes Parkhurst & Co Thorne one of the most accessible opticians Thorne has to offer.

A Bespoke Eyewear Experience at Parkhurst & Co Thorne

Our new practice has fully redesigned how eyewear is selected.

Instead of traditional wall displays, frames are kept in premium, organised units, allowing our team to choose eyewear individually for each patient based on:

• Lifestyle

• Face shape

• Personality

• Colour preferences

• Prescription

• Professional needs

This curated approach means every patient enjoys a more personal and enjoyable experience at our independent opticians Thorne.

Every frame is stored in our styling drawers, ready to be chosen specifically for you during your appointment.
