Wolverhampton shoppers were devastated by the closure of the city's iconic Marks & Spencer store on Dudley Street in September this year.

But now, following the purchase of the building by Nottingham-based developer the ALB Group for £3.4m earlier this year, a new business has taken up residence in the iconic building.

Home Values officially opened its doors on Thursday (December 11) although the new store is billed as a "temporary tenant" by the ALB Group, which hopes to redevelop the building into new apartments and "modern retail units".
