Photos: A look inside Mansfield Wilko on its final day of trading after more than 40 years in town

After more than 40 years in Mansfield town, Wilko has closed its doors for the final time – and here is what it looked like inside as staff served their last customers.

The final trading day for the Mansfield retail store saw a 90% off sale, as customers flocked to the shop to buy last-minute reduced stock.

It was a “sad” day for staff and customers – as the unit was reduced to empty shelves, with dozens of supportive messages and thank you cards left at the front of the store.

Mansfield Wilko, on Clumber Street, closed its doors for the final time on Thursday, September 28.

Thank you cards and messages of support were left for staff by former colleagues, present team members, and customers at the front of the store. A Halloween decorative gravestone with a Wilko sticker summed up the closure. Photo: Phoebe Cox
