Closing 31 if it’s 59 shops.

6000 jobs to go. Very, sad.

Cwmbran as well

Cwmbran as well

Cwmbran has a HoF? Blimey, they're going up market (or were until the HoF closure was announced). When I lived in Cwmbran in 1975, the biggest and best shop they had was called Woolco. It was basically a giant Woolworths.

HoF has been in Cwmbran since 1964 - only 54 years, that's all. Your memory is obviously playing tricks with you.
