Jessops, Halifax
Image: © Phil Champion Taken: 14 Jan 2013
Camera shop at the corner of Old Market and Corn Market. The Jessops had gone into administration the previous Wednesday - by Friday all the stores had closed. When this photo was taken, on 14 January 2013, the shutters were down, but some staff were still inside, apparently packing up stock. Fortunately for the photographers of Halifax, Janet Green Photographic a few doors further down Old Market is still open and was surprisingly busy given it had been snowing during the morning.
