Looks like Wilko are taking over the HMV unit on Queen Street. I'm glad that a new tenant has been found quickly for such a big unit but it's further evidence that Queen Street is attracting the more 'value' retailers.
The wig shop in High Street arcade (where it meets Duke St arcade) has shut down. Also Eccentrix - the shoe shop in High Street Arcade are having a closing down sale. This is the shop that sells all manner of crazy looking footwear and has been in the arcade for at least 25 years. Not sure if it's re-locating but if it does go it will be a shame to lose an independent.
Clive Ranger are also relocating - according to a sign in their window. They have been in the Castle Arcade for at least 30 years - anyone know where they are going?
