Family business in Mapperley to close after 40 'wonderful' years on high street - all stock must go

A family-run business in Nottingham is set to close its doors after 40 "wonderful" years on the high street. Diddlyland is located in Woodborough Road in Mapperley and sells baby products to parents and families across the city.

The business have now announced it will be closing and is running a retirement sale to sell off its remaining stock. Currently run by Bill Bedward, 70, and his daughter Hayley, it will shut for the final time in mid-June when the lease on the building runs out.

Mr Bedward, who lives in Mapperley, said: "The first owner had it for 20 years and I took over with my wife 20 years ago when she was alive. In mid-June it will be 20 years since then and it will be our time to close. It's been a big part of our lives.
