Binns, with its art deco shop front, has been a dominating presence in Darlington town centre since 1922. It became a House of Fraser department store in 1953 but continued to trade under the name 'Binns' in Darlington. On 7th June 2018, it was announced that this store would be one of 31 (out of 59) House of Fraser shops to close. The Market Cross in the foreground was gifted to Darlington by Dame Dorothy Brown in 1727. It has been sited in its present location since 1993.
