Queues for bargains at House of Fraser with only days until closure

House of Fraser is proving its popularity in its final week in Richmond with a closing down sale.

The shop is shutting for good on Sunday, September 20.

It is offering large discounts on items and shoppers have been forming queues to get in.

Clothes store Cos, directly across the pedestrian crossing from House of Fraser, is closing too.

The department store at 80 George Street's departure brings the curtain down on 225 years of retail history.

"It all began in 1795 when John Hunt Gosling founded a drapery store here which would later become known as Gosling & Sons," residents association Richmond Society said.

As revealed by Richmond Nub News, the building's owners plan to convert it into a huge office block with floors for retail and leisure.

Richmond Council's Planning Committee approved the plan in principle in March but full planning permission has not yet been granted.
