'I've only just heard Marks and Spencer is closing - I can't believe it': Wolverhampton shoppers share grief at loss of iconic high street store
The nearly 100-year-old flagship department store announced its closure earlier this week.
Shoppers of Wolverhampton's Marks and Spencer department store have shared their shock and sorrow at the prospect of losing their favourite store after almost 100 years.
In a surprise to many Wolverhampton visitors, the high-street chain announced the pending closure to the Express & Star on Wednesday, with bosses saying it had been a 'tough decision'.
Now, shoppers and Wolverhampton residents have talked of their sadness at losing the 'high-street staple' which has eagerly served customers since 1929.
Barbara Beech, 71 and from Ettingshall, has been shopping there for as long as she can remember.
