The closure of the House of Fraser department store, formerly Rackhams, has created a big dead space in the Parade. Announced in July 2018 the actual closure took place in early 2019 despite the efforts of the local MP to persuade the company to retain the store. A proposed takeover by Sports Direct, the fate of many other House of Fraser stores, did not happen.
