WHSmith will be disappearing from the high street in a matter of weeks as its new owner presses ahead with plans to rebrand it as TGJones.

The stationery retailer has been a fixture of the British high street for 200 years but has faced difficulties in recent times.

Hobbycraft owner Modella Capital agreed a deal to take over the chain’s struggling high street division back in March.

As part of the agreement, all 464 remaining high street shops will be rebranded as TGJones.
